Hi all.... I have never tried overclocking before and thought I might
give it a try. I have an Aopen MX 46 motherboard with a P4 1.7GHz
processor installed. According to Aopen this board has lots of
overclocking ability but I don't really understand the translation on
their website. Apparently I can change the FSB speed in the bios. I also
understand that Intel processors are somehow locked, so what can I
change to overclock this processor? Is an increase in the FSB speed the
way to overclock this machine?

Any info including relevant websites would be appreciated.

Thanks
Newfdog

Yes, most if not all Intel CPU's are multiplier locked.
The only way to Overclock it is to turn it's FSB up.
I'm guessing that a 100 MHz FSB cpu. So try something like 110 or 115
The best thing to do is to try turning it up only little by little.
You might be able to get 2GHz out of it depending on what kind of ram you
have.
You might be able to get better then 2 GHz out of it, but I cant tell you
that.
You have to play around with it & see what settings work the best.
Hm, CPU's that r Locked, my Xeon's can be turned down from the
20xMultiplier.

No, Intel Pentium 4 CPUs have nominal FSB's of 400, 533, 800, or, just
recently 1066 MHz, not 100 MHz.

No, Intel CPU's since the Pentium II 300 MHz are multiplier locked, and no,
your Xeon multiplier can't be 'turned down'. Likely you can change the
multiplier setting in the BIOS, but that has NO EFFECT.

Your Pentium 4 1.7 GHz can be overclocked only by increasing the
FrontSideBus speed. Unfortunately, a Pentium 4 1.7 GHz is a 'Willamette'
technology CPU, and has little overclocking potential compared to its
successor, the 'Northwood'. The 'Northwood' Pentium 4 CPUs are based on a
faster, lower voltage, lower power technology and have a larger L2 cache.
For example, a 'Northwood' Pentium 4 1.6A can fairly often be overclocked by
50%. Your Pentium 4 1.7 is much more limited.

Generally a good indication of casual overclocking ability is the highest
nominal speed CPU of the technology. For the 'Willamette', that is 2.0 GHz,
while for the 'Northwood' it is 3.4 GHz. You can overclock your CPU by
increasing the FrontSideBus speed, but don't expect much above 2.0 GHz. In
other words, go ahead and try overclocking, but don't spend any money on
extra cooling, etc. for your present CPU - it just isn't worth it.

Unfortunately I don't have any overclocking links that seem to be current,
but you should pretty much reach the maximum for your current CPU by just
raising the clock speed (the clock speed is 1/4 the FrontSideBus speed.)
Your CPU has a fixed multiplier of 17X, so raising the clock speed from 100
MHz to 120 MHz (and consequently the FrontSideBus speed to 480 MHz) will
give a CPU speed of 17 X 120 MHz = 2040 MHz. You should keep several things
in mind.

#1. Make sure that your PCI bus speed is not above about 37 MHz (nominal is
33 MHz.) A PCI bus speed over specifications begins to run the risk of data
corruption when data is written to hard drives. If your motherboard has a
FIXED setting for the PCI and AGP buses that locks the PCI bus to 33 MHz and
the AGP bus to 66 MHz, use that setting for overclocking. (Usually, the PCI
bus speed is 1/3 the system clock speed and the AGP bus speed is 2/3 the
system clock speed, but chipsets for Pentium 4 CPUs have the ability to fix
those bus speeds rather than using a divider.)

#2. Before starting to overclock your older system, make sure the system is
clear of dust and other thing that might restrict the flow of cooling air.
Especially make sure the CPU heatsink fins are clean. Keep an eye on the
CPU temperature when trying to overclock, and compare it to the CPU
temperatures when not overclocking. In overclocking, you are trading the
built-in stability overhead for higher speeds. Higher temperatures result
from overclocking and higher temperatures reduce overclocking ability. Try
to keep the temperature rise as low as possible.

#3. Raise the system clock speed in small steps, in your case, say 5 MHz.
Change nothing else. If your systems boots and starts the operating system,
try putting a load on the system. If it is stable, you can try a higher
system clock system. If it is not stable, you can try increasing the CPU
core voltage by a small amount, say 0.05 volts ( in no case go higher than
0.15 volts above the default - it isn't justified for your CPU.) By going
back and forth with these adjustmenst you will eventually find the highest
stable CPU speed for your system.

Most important of all: you will not destroy your CPU or motherboard from
overheating, raising the CPU core voltage too much is an instant CPU killer.

Hope this helps.

Not really the true FSB, or we would be looking @ total bus speeds of
400x4=1600
533x4=2132
800x4=3200
And 1066x4=4264
The true FSB's are really
100x4=400
133x4=533 (133.25)
200x4=800
And 266x4=1066 (266.5)
Goto http://processorfinder.intel.com/scripts/default.asp
Look up any CPU, Intel them selves lists them all as just (Bus Speed)
Not FSB
If you want to correct some1 on something, then be correct about it.

Your also wrong here too, as I said, I can turn down my multiplier, but not
up.
http://mywebpages.comcast.net/dstrausser33/CPUZXeon266.html
Do the math, a 2.66 (533 Bus) or dual, run @ 20x133 (133.25)
This shows I'm running @ 18, or do I need my eyes checked??

Just to give you something to do; try various URLs such as
http://www.intel.com/design/xeon/datashts/252135.htm
(which will direct you to a document titled:


Intel(R) Xeon(TM) Processor with 533 MHz Front Side Bus at 2 GHz to 3.20 GHz

[ which should cover the Xeon of which you speak ]).

You might also find this page interesting
http://support.intel.com/support/processors/sb/CS-001527.htm
(which also should cover the Xeon of which you speak).

So perhaps you should take another look.

And what do you propose that "true" means in respect to the FSB?

The above would only be the case if Kony had been referring to the "bus
clock." But he wasn't.

Your equations for the "true FSB's" result in the same numbers Kony stated:
400, 533, 800, 1066.

They do, however, explain how the effective FSB speed is derived from quad
pumping the base FSB clock. I.E. FSB clock times 4 gives effective FSB speed.

And what "bus" do you think they're referring to? Hint: The Front Side Bus,
I.E. FSB.

Not even Intel is consistent on that one!

Small wonder it should be picked up by 'RaichuRaichu' aka 'RavingRaichu' aka
'Denny' aka 'Dennis E Strusser Jr' who evidently needs change his email
address often because of newsgroup email identity harvesting.

You are to be complimented for your participation. The volume of posts for
acho has fallen so low that you are considered a sustainer. Perhaps by
supplying fast, competent answers and interesting, pertinent questions this
newsgroup will revive.

As I said, the part you're missing is that the "bus" is the FSB.

That reminds me of something, I could turn back my multiplier and just
run this thing @ 3.20 GHz
The performance level of the overclock beats true dual Xeon's @ this same
speed ;
cause of the fact that the data is being processed over a 160 MHz FSB
clock rate, rather then a 133 MHz FSB clock rate. or 640 MHz effective bus.
Of course, the other reason to overclock to 3.2GHz, is to not spend like
575.44 for
each cpu. Quick search on newegg.com
I had only really changed the multiplier to prove I could do it.
And I too thought Intel Chips were always locked.

Of course we also see this with the Athlon FX55, how else could a 2.6GHz
chip beat
most sides of a 3.7? GHz something, chip? Something like that anyway.
Maybe it was an overclocked cpu, had problems finding it on the net.
I'm a dreamer I know, but it is nice to dream about a CPU with a
True FSB of 1,000 MHz and a total effective bus clock rate of 2,000 MHz

Not really, it's the Effective "Bus"
I emailed "AMD" not "Intel" on this and they told me in many words that I am
right on this, same with some1 on this group as well.
The Athlon XP 2200+ has a 266MHz effective bus with to sides of the bus
clock.
Easy to figure out really.
133 MHz FSB for the upper edge of the clock.
And
133 MHz FSB for the lower edge of the clock.

This part is a guess really..
(The Pentium 4 in a way works the same way, but it does it twice.
@ first it was just used for a longer pipeline, but then they started to use
it for
Hyperthreading tech as well.)
And it does simulate 2 CPU's well. I had windows mess up on me one time
and it wasn't using HTT @ all. My benchmarks looked more like a P4 then
they looked like a dual Xeon.
Where the Real FSB got lost, I don't know.
What ever what ever, if AMD admits to the true FSB not being what's
sometimes posted,
then it might also be true with Intel CPU's.

It doesn't make sense to say "effective bus." A bus is a bus.

There is an "effective bus *speed*," however. Although, that's another
whole ball of wax because there are a number of things that affect the
"effective" rate, such as memory latency, command delays, etc.

Read the data sheets. Such as for AMD:

AMD Athlon XP
Processor Model 10
Data Sheet

Publication # 26237 Rev. C
Issue Date: May 2003

6 Advanced 333 Front-Side Bus AMD Athlon™ XP

And what is the "this" you're speaking of?

Effective bus "speed." Actually, it's the maximum (burst) data rate.

A 266 FSB operates from a 133 Mhz clock and a clock pulse has a rising edge
and a falling edge. They clock data on both so that data is transferred at
twice the clock frequency.

The FSB has nothing to do with pipelining or hyperthreading, other than
that's how the data gets there.

P4 clock timing creates a second clock from the base clock that is 90
degrees out of phase and sends data on the rising and trailing edge of
both. I.E.

| | | |
--- --- base clock
___ ___

- --- -- 90 degree phase

As I said the first time, define what "real" means in regard to the FSB.

Define what "true" means in regard to the FSB.



For a 333 FSB, the clock is 166.66... MHz and the (burst) data rate is
333.33... MHz. What makes 166.66... more "true" or "real" than 333.33...?
They're simply different things, albeit tightly related, and both are
"real" and "true" for what they describe. An E.E. might like to speak in
terms of the clock because he's designing circuits but the consumer simply
wants to know how fast the data gets there and, as the saying goes, I don't
want to design a watch just tell me what time it is. OK, it's high noon and
the FSB data rate is 333.

The situation is not unlike having both a tachometer and speedometer in
your car. What is the "true speed," 3000 RPM or 70 MPH? They're both
"true," depending on what your point of interest is, and related by the
gearing.

So I was not far off here, even though it was a guess.?

I suppose so. 800 is twice 400 so that's "doing it twice" but the trick, of
course, is 'how' it's done twice as much. You can't just 'read twice' on
the original clock edge because there must be a timing delay for the
memory, and the bus, to respond. Hence the need for a phased shifted second
clock to determine when the next read will occur.
