[Rambo]

Calling all wize AMD users

this is my first rig that is a AMD ,I want advice about my cpu mhz.

Currently im trying 10x210mhz just 5% overclock as i herd theses cpu`s love a tweak!,also i have herd 2600mhz is good for them?

Since im no expert ill ask here

for some reason nivia N/tune is always crashing it even was winding back to under 100 mhz after it first was ok at 248 mhz

so i did the bois mhz change this time

should i not over clock my venice643200AMD cpu at all .calling experience please:)

the quest for power :p

What ram do you have? Brand and speed? Value ram will result in lower overclocks compared to quality ram.

First of all overclock from BIOS , dont use ntune. Leave your cpu voltage at default first and increase your FSB 5mhz at a time. Then reboot and run SuperPI
32m to see if its stable. If its not o back to bios add more cpu voltage and try it again.
Also try to keep your ram divider 133/166 if ur huning CPU clock .

Set the ram to 166 Mhz, up the HT FSB to 240 and put the HT multiplier down to 4X.

Now you have a 3800 Venice :)
If it's unstable increase the Vcore voltage!

High Quality RAM doesn't always means excellent overclocking. I have OCZ Gold Dual Channel PC4000 RAM that won't overclock very much.

Then your timings are too tight, go for lower timings and you will get better results.

Heres a crash course for you.

Is it a new one?

Step E3 or E6?

Older E3's usually clock better, but start here.

Go into bios and change FSB to 250 and CPU multi to 10x, vcore to 1.45, and ram to 166 divider. Should run @ 208.

Dont foreget to set LTD to 4x. Comes out nice and smooth @ 1000mhz, and your processor @ 2500.

If this works out fine, downlaod super Pi, and calculate to 1 million. Then if it passes try 32m.

If all this works, post back here and we'll step it up a bit from there. :)

Been there, done that. Still don't get a good overclock.

um u lost me a bit lol damn newbies lol

(1)my mobo is a 939 i got it early this year
(2) and i assume 32m is part of super pi in your link?(thanxs for link)
(3)LTD<what is this?(still learning m8)
(4) i dont want to cook breakfast on my computer so i dont want to go full on ,just tweak a bit:)

I cant remember a LTD setting on my gigabyte k8n4 board?
regards RAMBO:salute:
I will post back
