not a big deal check my sig mine runs over 1000mhz it is just often a stability issue if it gets pushed to much

restart is unecessary now...bios altering is also unecessary... there is programs such as ntune or nvidia control panel where u can just increase the voltage and frequencies...

If you know of a program where you can adjust the HT link and the RAM dividers from your desktop I would like to know please! That would be godly.

Hey use this program, you can ajust HTT link, Voltage, and pretty much everything as far as I know even RAM Timings.

I just asked the guy because I thought maybe he new of something I have not heard of yet.

Tell me what you think.

And? That means you only get the overclock when you get into Windows and the program loads up. Which means yet more resources are being used up to maintain your overclock.

I will never use those programs. There are many many others like me who wont. If it wont POST at your overclock it's not stable.

I know of some people who used programs in Windows to get a higher overclock than they could through the BIOS because it wouldn't POST, that's not stable.

Using Windows to overclock isn't very stable IMO. If it won't run 24/7 at your overclock it's not only pointless, but unstable.

I have to partially agree with Darknova.
This thread is meant for 24/7 stable OC where you can completely turn off your PC and restart it with the same OC.
But with the windows OCing utilities, I'd have to say the one I've used ABIT uGURU is stable.
ABIT uGURU sets the clocks back to BIOS settings once you shutdown the PC prbably as a safe guard so the system will post.

I only OC from BIOS personally, just so the OC is always there.

ur saying going directly to the source is more stable... it doesn't really matter because it is the same thing... if both locks up or resets then it is unstable... the ntools can let u change frequencies and when it is unstable it will reboot itself... i ran my amd 6000 from 3ghz to 3.45ghz just fine cuz i saved the settings when i changed it on my ovrclock.exe by asus and without restarting and yes i can leave it on 24/7...

overclocking from the BIOS is better because it allows to fine tune a lot more of your settings than any windows program ever will (other than ram timings)

also i would love to see you find me ANY windows program that wil change the ram volts on my mobo.

Asus iBooster allows you to change ram volts, along with a couple of other volt settings.

i understand that aibooster can do that but if you read though my post it says on my mobo.

not happening i think that all of you have gotten spoiled by windows based clock tools if you look the big overclockers use clockgen after they have already tweaked the holy hell outta the bios and gotten the highest bootable clock they then go and use the windows crap to gain minuit amounts like 100-200mhz on top for AMDs and 200-400mhz on intels


there is no point in arguing further whether you believe it or not BIOS clocking will always be better than windows

Well I totally prefer Bios over any windows based oc program, but you had asked if there was such program that had dram voltage so there you go.

I can only get mine to 2.2Ghz, after that system can't even reach POST.
And last time (today) when I set the CPU FSB to [220] the ASUS Utility poped up warning something about voltage..

Get rid of ASUS utility first off. It's useless. USe 3rd party software to monitor stuff.

I had an Abit AN8 32X which would do an FSB of 330Mhz so I had lots of clocking room.

Had to put 1.5v through the 3000 but it reached its limit at 2.6Ghz.

Yeah could be the voltage need bumping up.
Do you overclock manually through the BIOS or though utility?
My utility has presents which are potentially damaging to my CPU, which is why I never use them.

Also some CPUs overclock real well with marginal and some don't depending on stepping.
With all my cooling at the moment I can only reach about 2.6Ghz while keeping a safe voltage while some others with the same CPU don't need to up the voltage much.
So it's also luck of the draw when you get the CPU.

slight problem - I don't see anything listed as "HTT" in my BIOS settings when I go into this.. is it that I need to flash new BIOS? I have an AMD 64 3200+ (1.99 GHz) processor.
