Hi all,
I've been searching for the answer to this (most likely very simple) overclocking question. From what I've read there are a few ways to go about overclocking; CPU Ratio or CPU Bus Frequency, most likely a mix of the two.
From following a tutorial on doing it through Bus Frequency I got the following results:
CPU: 4300MHz
Mem: 1432MHz
NB: 2365MHz
HT: 2580MHz
CPU Ratio: 20.0
CPU Bus Freq: 215
Voltage: 1.443
Socket: 66C
Core: 44C
Stable for 20 mins on prime95. Cool n Quiet, C6 etc. disabled.
From what I've read from other people OCing they don't even need anywhere near as high a voltage as that. What am I doing wrong? Do I just need to bump the multiplier and leave the Bus Frequency as is? Looking to get to 4.4 - 4.5 GHz.
Any help is appreciated, cheers. My specs are in my sig.
Update:
Since then I have reset to optimised defaults and reached 4.2GHz stably @ 1.4125V. Now I have an issue whereby though my use of manual voltages I cannot enable AMD cool'n'quiet or C1E. They just disappear from the BIOS. Thoughts?
