oc numbers for 3700

[slick8]

can i get some frequency and multipier numbers to mildy overclock my 3700, im not looking to push it to far

thx

multi is 12x on 754 3700.

got mine at 2.56ghz on a 210fsb and a Vcore of 1.6, but it can go up to 2.6 stable. after 215fsb it wont boot.

i tried it and i got some strange error message and it wouldnt boot up, i couldnt find this in my bios "CPU/DDR Ratio: 2/1.66 or HT Frequency ratio: 4X "

i got the bus to 231 with a multiplier of 10, i also found the ht setting and set it to 4x, i run cpu-z at that point and it read 2300 or so, i ran 3dmark03 and it rebooted ,

find your memory settings in BIOS..200.166,133...set it to 166..that is the divider!

3700 @ 2800Mhz
11 x 255
166 memory divider
vcore 1.55v
mem 2,3,2,5 It Dual Channel @ 200.2Mhz

I am actually running the cpu at 2.88Ghz but 2.8 is rock solid for me. I have given up on reaching 3.0Ghz... on my cpu... it just isn't going to happen.

sorry, I forgot to mention...

Why is it that you DON'T want to push it far?

If you have a socket 754 clawhammer... giveup now.
But if we are talking about the s939 3700 San Diego...

then you have it push it as far as you possibly can... anything else and you are just wasting your time.

San Diego is the core of choice for single core FX series cpu's which sell for top dollar...still do where available. They are great cpus... depending on the step and week they can have a great memory controller capable of high clocks... or you may even have a Toledo with a disabled core... in which case it probably won't clock very high.

In any case... as long as you don't get stupid with voltage you will not damage the cpu. Period. Read as much as you possibly can about the settings of your motherboard and perhaps even remove your HSF and check the stepping/week of your cpu to determine which core it has... but that isn't nessesary.

For... an entire year I was convinced that 2.6Ghz was my max stable speed... 2.8 is 24h prime95 stable... who would have thought.

Post all your system specs here... and lets push that sucker!!![/i]

Im running a asus a8n5x, i cant find Memory Divider, what else do i look under?

if you cannot find memory divider download A64 Tweaker

search for it on www.yahoo.com as "A64 Tweaker + download" then download it... from that application you can change your mem divider in real time... if it crashes... then its not going to happen... if it is good... then apply settings at startup.

If you apply settings at startup and cannot get into windows after that you will have to boot into safemode and remove the startup settings.
