Overclocking help

[landstad]

Hey.

I have now tried to over clocked my computer using amdcatalyst/overdrive.

Normal it's 3.3 ghz - and amd catalyst say it's clocked to 3.8 ghz.

But when i run Cpu speed test, it says 3.3ghz...

can anyone tell me if it are clocked or not

anyone here know OC genie ?
and if it's a way to clock only Prossesor through oc genie.

that is one dodgy speed testing program you've got there, use cpu-z

okey, i'll try that and comeback/edit this reply. thanks



EDIT:

seems like cpu-z did the trick, it say 3,8. so guess it works.

It's the spelling errors that make me think it might be of questionable quality

Have asked this question before, but can't remember/find my old thread.

Whats the name of the program that can make me test the OC? ( Double windowed, Red )

OCCT?

 

[landstad]

OCCT?

Yes =)

Do plenty of reading, there are some excellent guides if you simply google your specs with the word overclock after it.

a few clicks found this....i havent watched it....just found it for you

You will get a lot more pleasure and insight if you do some research first.

It is lots of fun as most members will confirm and there are definitely better options than overdrive.

You could have conformed the actual speed of your cpu by looking in the bios. The BIOS never lies.

This was usefull, but i have a qustion, Can i make a new thread about how to use Command center (msi) and oc genie ?

I know i should search on youtube/google, but i just hate that.

Or should I stay on this thread ?


EDIT: I read that OC genie is not stable, and I can confirm that, i got BSOD with that.
Then i wonder, amd catalyst clocked my cpu to 3.9 then it shuted down.
And i turned it back to 3.8 and it seems fine, but gonna stress test it tho.
my question is, Is amd overdrive a good software tho, like you showed me that dude on youtube manage to get 4ghz.

I could do i through bios, but then i will need some expertise help.

Processor:AMD Phenom(tm) II X6 1100T Processor, 3300 Mhz, 6 core

Still applies to your overclocking so I would say keep it in the thread.

Look at my edit in the former reply.

 

[CAPSLOCKSTUCK]

you do not need expert help, you are capable of doing this yourself ............. ffs if i can do it, any one can and get pleasure from it.

Seriously dude do some background or this thread will go the same way as your thread from a couple of weeks ago.

People here are more than happy to help but you must help yourself too.

I could tell you what to try with your clocks but......................

Allrigth i'll read some.


EDIT:

Do you know how i set amd overdrive in to default, manage to make it default at 3.8 ghz, but it wont run stable, and I cant find out how to change it back to 3.3ghz

And yes, I tried google

Why do you want to O/C that chip anyway if you dont know what you are doing ?


CPU world told me this..........dude if i can find this stuff i am sure that you can.

AMD Phenom II 1100T is an incremental upgrade of the 1090T model. The 1100T has 3.3 GHz rated core frequency and 3.7 GHz Turbo Core frequency, both of which are 100 MHz higher than on the 1090T part. Clock multiplier on the 1100T is unlocked, as a result the processor can be easily overclocked by raising the multiplier in BIOS. The CPU has 6 MB L3 cache and fits 125W thermal envelope. Remaining features of this six-core model are identical to other X6 CPUs.

newegg advertised it like this........

read through the specs, ask yourself " i wonder what that means".......Turbo core for example, google it.


toms reviews are good, the forums arent. (IMO)

Please dont do anything with your voltages

You can reset everything by doing this

[Devon68]

TBH I wouldn't even overclock that CPU, it will work fine with your card and 19'' or soon 24'' screen. Before you'll be ready to upgrade the entire system you can crank things up and see how far you can take it. But other that that learning this stuff cant hurt.

3.8 GHz seems to be pretty decent.

just my 5 cents about msi OC genie(got a second version)
it OCing all components(both ram and cpu)
when i OC manualy - i get higher temps than OCing with genie
the only minus is genie doesnt downscale clock at low usage CPU(frequency will be maxed all the time)
never got BSODs when i was using OC genie
afterall - if you're newbie to OC, OC genie can help to OC right(manualy i get about 5-7% more and system wasnt 100% stable and my 33°C became 43°C in idle comparing to OC with genie)

PS:may be cause i got nonK intel?
and how can i help you with comand center - i think it's nicely done with no misunderstanding

 

[krusha03]

I have never trusted software overclocking programs (maybe just to give me an idea what's the maximum clock i should expect). Overclock with your bios.

Long story short, disable turbo and cool and quiet and start increasing the multiplier until you cant get in windows. When that starts to happen, up your voltage until it does (Rule of thumb Vcore + 10% should be fine with good cooling). When you have reached the desired speed or the maximum stable frequency you can boot into windows, start stress testing with OCCT and / or Prime. Normally you will have to decrease the multiplier by 1-2 points to have them run stable overnight. Monitor your temperatures also all the time to make sure the system is not overheating

Okey, i tried oc genie it clocked up to 3.8 ghz then i got bsod, ram failure. when i was ingame (csgo).
oc genie have sevral profiles i can use i see, but i'm courious on what I can manage to do in bios. so i'll try that like @krusha03 said.
but i see now you can raise multiplier in command center also raise mhz.(only)
I do only want to oc my cpu, cause i'm gonna get another one soon(when this one dont work or get slower- or when I
got ome money to spare)


but i read on a forum two guys where saying my motherboard msi gaming 970, was a low end board, and not good for overclocking.
can someone deny/confirm that ?

Good stuff there bruh.

I want to oc my cpu to get better reaction time in windows and stuff, instant reaction is what i want, hate delay's - more is better! rigth?
Yes, i have found some stuff. but like you said "Its official TPU is better than Google "


so simply i'll try go for 3.7-3.8 by up my multiplier.

you say "Please dont do anything with your voltages " what's the reason for that ? and at witch point should I start tweaking the voltages.?

I can see why.

Okey, i'll try that.

That's complete and utter bullshit, it's one of the best 970 boards out there for overclocking as it has 6+2 phases and a beefy vrm heatsink

I want to oc my cpu to get better reaction time in windows and stuff, instant reaction is what i want, hate delay's - more is better! rigth?

For windows reaction time an SSD will make a noticable difference. Overclocking the CPU not so much.

Yes, read my post

you say "Please dont do anything with your voltages " what's the reason for that ? and at witch point should I start tweaking the voltages.?

When your cpu is not stable at the current clock settings. But voltage increases temperature and can damage the cpu if set too high

 

[CAPSLOCKSTUCK]

You dont know what you are doing and i dont want you to damage your kit through ignorance.

what @krusha03 said are wise words.

Okey.

Now i have turned off amd turbo/cool and quiet, and i'm ready for some testing.
Wich test mode should i run in OCCT, large or medium?

EDIT: Also raised my multiplier, so now it's say 3.8.
Did runs large test, and computer got blue screen couple seconds in to the test.

What is my next step, I have rasied the multiplier too 18.5

Large as it tests the most ram thus fastest to find an error.

Did you see the last thing I wrote ?

 

[krusha03]

Did you see the last thing I wrote ?

Logic dictates to increase core voltage for stability at the given settings or keep the voltage the same and reduce the multiplier to have a stable system
