My first overclock 1055T

[Hellfire]

your BIOS will tell you the final frequency for RAM and CPU. He explains it in the video Just copy what he did as you have the same board and see if yours holds

yeah but I do not have the PC yet, so I wanted to play about with it this evening, I suppose I can set up a excel spread sheet,

whats the sum for working out the RAM speed

***** x FSB = RAM SPEED (whats the ******)


I don't want to bust her as soon as I get it so I think 3.5-3.8 will do fine to begin with,

cheers for all the noobie help

Its not THAT easy (Atleast not to me) as you have to take into account what divider your using.

OK, think of it like this Multiplier * FSB = CPU clock Speed THEN (divide) \ the Memory Divider = Ram Speed

Usually there are 4 Dividers to choose from.

yeah, trying to get my head round all this.

I know its confusing at first, but as time goes on you will get more comfortable with it and more "able".

All it takes is a set of balls and a touch of patience.

Aye, its a pain in the arse, if I could work on something I'd understand it more, however as my new PC isn't here I can't lol

 

[Hellfire]

right, im sorted now.. im not so confused.

EDIT: Give it HELL (Off into the fire you go)

 

[Hellfire]

The biggest thing that confused me was the vid for the DRAM FREQ, it showed speeds

800/1066/1333/1600 instead of 1:1 2:1 etc etc... thats making it less confusing.

I think if I use a divider and run at 1066/1333 with 250 bus speed, that gives me 3.5ghz CPU, ram im still trying to work out, i understand it but need to work it out lol

RAM speed (dividers) will not have any effect on your CPU speed. It all comes down to CPU multiplier x CPU FSB. And 14x250 = 3500, so far your on the right track.

 

[Hellfire]

yeah I thought that, I'll use RAM Dividers so I do not overclock the Ram but so I can up the FSB

Think It is looking good, however I need to find/if possible would like more info about voltage. if I plan to raise the FSB by 50, 200mhz - 250mhz do I need to change the voltage. if so how much really, are we talking like 0.01v etc?

Just monitor temps, degrading of the chip starts at around 1.5v, your cooler should be fine at or less than 1.5v. I was running 1.420v on a stock AMD fan and pushing my 1055t at 3.9ghz and it was benchable. But you will also need to play with your NB volts, unless you want to drop the multi and mess with that later. Which isn't a bad idea, it's wise to find out how everything clocks one thing at a time, that way if there is an issue you know exactly what ti is.

Good advice!

TBH I wouldn't worry about voltage yet as this is your first OC. Start with all auto for voltages, get to where your comfortable. Then go a little further, if there is instability, it may be voltage related, THEN back to the forums here for some NEW questions/answers .

But like he said, take it one step at a time as to not get ahead of yourself

 

[Hellfire]

yeah thats fine, if I can get a stable 3.5-7 on auto voltage then I am VERY happy

 

[1Kurgan1]

I'm not sure what auto will go to for voltage, but I'm pretty sure you will need at least 1.425v to be completely stable at those clocks, hopefully auto will reach that high.

 

[surfingerman]

what i did for voltage is found what the max safe voltage was, and just set it from the start.. after i was done getting my best overclock i just backed down the voltage until i had problems, taking my volts down form 1.35 to 1.175 lowered my temps by about 10C, (this was for 920 mind you)

Hi everyone,

As I had this thread I didn't want to make a new one (same issue) so I got my PC and it all seems brilliant, had it for a while and got used to it. Now I've OC'd it and would like some opinions on a few things I've done

Firstly as its a 1055t I had to up the FSB, so from the stock 200 with a 14multi I've gone to 240 with a 14 multi, now here are my issues.

I got my ram to run at 1333mhz and OC'd the FSB so it is still running at 1600, Asus AI tweaker says it is so I assume this is right.

I disabled turbo core, Cool n Quiet and C1E as I was told this was best when OC'ing so thats done, I OC'd from 2800mhz to 3371mhz but left the voltage as standard (did not adjust any at all) do you think this should be ok? I'm using it now and it seems ok to myself. but opinions would be appreciated, The other thing is,

In CPU-Z I've noticed my multiplier at times sits at 4.0 so the CPU is running underspeed, I've heard about this before but never noticed it before, If I put a load on it it'll jump up to 14 but I never saw it when I ran stock, I suspect it isn't a problem but Coretemp is reporting I'm running at 14 multi.

Anyway advice/opinions on this first OC, the voltage for me is the biggie as I didn't want to mess with that on the first place,

Temps at low usage is 22c (add 10 due to Thuban temp sensor problem) so 33 low, max I had during intel burn in 41c (add 10 again) so I believe these aren't bad temps either, I do not wanna push so fast to begin with.
