Give info on wat cooling u are using???

 

[witeboy07]

its a cooler master tx2 multi socket cooler..i cant seem to go past 3.6..i tried..i tried upping the cpu vcore but no luck..tried upping the nb core no luck..any suggestions?

 

[shabodah]

I see what your memory was running at stock, but not what it is running with the OC. Can you check on cpu-z where it sits right now? I'm guess that it is what is holding you back by what you've posted. Have you already tried knocking the memory divider down to the 667 or 533 settings?

 

[witeboy07]

it is ddr2 800 ram and i put the divider to ddr 533 so rite now its around 366mhz..

 

[shabodah]

Can you get it to run at 12x300?

What are your current NB and HT multipliers?

CPU voltage? Ram Voltage?

 

[witeboy07]

my htt is at 1.4ghz and my nb is at 1600 i belief..i have no multi..right now currently readind cpuz shows

htlink-1925

nb-2200

 

[witeboy07]

my voltages are ram 2.2

nb 1.4

ht 1.30

cpu vcore 1.5

 

[shabodah]

Well, then your NB appears to be set at a multi of 8x and your HT at 7x. I'd try and set them to the same multiplier (7 or 8), and see how that affects things.

First things first, though, did 12x300 work?

 

[witeboy07]

im going to try it in a bit..if that dont work..what else can i do

 

[witeboy07]

i just tried it...12x 300 and it is looking very stable..thnk i can go higher?
i also put the nb and ht mulis the same as you said..

 

[witeboy07]

here is my cpuz at 3.6ghz 12x 300

Sorry to say it, but, it looks to me like you hit the ceiling with the processor. You just overclocked everything else higher than your other overclock without issue.

 

[witeboy07]

one more thing guys if you guys havent caught it,...i have enabled the 4th core..running stable at 3.5 with a mutli of 11.5x305..voltage of 1.48

 

[San Pedro]

If I was in the market for a new PC I would definitely base it around that sweet little x3 chip. Seems like you got a great deal.

 

[witeboy07]

yes i did..i thought it would be unstable but all cores seem to work great as a quad core..so if your in the market looking for a new mob and cpu..get a biostar or a mobo with the special bios and the x3 phenom 2...and you might get a good quad deal..

 

[Maskim19]

hey Witeboy can you make a tut on what you did OCing & Enabling the 4th core I am about to build a new system with this cpu

 

[witeboy07]

sure why not..it should be ready by the end of the day today..

 

[Shadow703793]

Me don't see pics?

 

[DatmanII]

With pics???

 

[kal20mx]

I got the same cpu only have it at 3.2 im gona try more

 

[kal20mx]

tried the same tips and have mine running at 3.5 what voltage should i set my gskill 1066. its currently at around 726mhz

 

[witeboy07]

sorry guys but the pic was supposed to be the cpuz chart never got around to see how to save it..but i got to copy the data and yea kal20 mx you shouldnt just leave it ther...
