Having problems with OC

Jackofblades · Sep 28, 2010, 04:17 PM

Ive been playing with overclocking switched the fsb to 230 and the core multiplier to 19 but when i go to cpu-z it says my multiplier is still 17.5 (stock)

and at one point it read it as 19 like it should after i made a new account...weird, anyone got a idea why its not the OC not working? (changed all settings in bios no programs)

Is AMD Cool N' Quiet on?

Jackofblades · Sep 28, 2010, 04:56 PM

turned it off I thought that was the problem too lol

Have you tried another monitoring app? I have had issues before where CPU-Z does not display it correclty. Try loading up AMD Overdrive.

overdrive is reporting it as 17.5 same with occt

you sure you are saving the BIOS? Maybe you are exiting without saving?

just checked, It said 19. I just lowered it to 18 and still doesn't read it at 18.

This is weird. You sure it's booting up properly? LIke sometimes it might not be stable for whatever reason and it just restarts during boot and resets the settings. Maybe try smaller incremements?

I lowered my fsb to stock (200) and tried it at 18 multiplier again still showing it at 17.5 (stock)

Is C1E enabled? That will lower your multi. Also make sure you have things set up properly in Windows for power management.

alright I think I figured it out... I disabled turbov evo and im getting the right multiplier now
