Overclocking An AMD 3000+ Advice Please

mello_newf · Jul 11, 2007

Alright so I got this temporary processor because my X2 5200+ died. I will be getting a 6000+ soon but would like to OC this CPU in the meantime
to help with all the lag in vista.

I have OC'ed my old Athlon with a lot of help and can do that now with no problem but I never OC'ed a sempron I took a look and couldn't even a
multiplier setting in my bios. :rolleyes:

I'm looking to get it up around 2.6 or higher I should be able to with my mobo and my max orb CPU cooler right?
Anywhoo any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks :toast:

yeah with a locked multiplier you have to adjust the fsb. try to keep htt around 1000 (from what i've read anyways) and if it won't boot, or is unstable, bump up the voltage.

Humm I still can't get it to work i had it just over 2GHz at one point but coulden't get it any higher. Ill list the settings I have available to me, if someone could tell me what settings to put in where I would really appreciate it.

CPU Frequency = ? (What should this be to get 3.0GHz)
DDR2 Voltage = Auto
CPU Vcore = (I can get it up to 1.66)
PCIEx16_1 Clock = Auto
PCIEx16_2 Clock = Auto

CPU to NB HT Voltage = Auto
NB to SB HT Voltage = Auto
NB Core/PCI-E Voltage = Auto
SB Core/PCI-E Voltage = Auto

NB to SB HT Frequency = Auto
CPU <--> NB HT Speed = 3xCPU
NB <--> SB HT Speed = 5xNB --- Is this right or does it need to be 3x?
SB <--> NB HT Speed = 5xSB --- Is this right or does it need to be 3x?
CPU <--> NB HT Width [16,16]
NB <--> SB HT Width [16,16]

Memory Clock Frequency = 800

Try dropping each and every HTT multi to x3.

Drop ur memory frequency.

mello_newf · Jul 11, 2007

Ok so I guess the CPU Frequency needs to be set to 375 if the multiplier defaults at 8X and I want to get to 3GHz right? Also should I change the ram voltage from auto to something else? And what about theses...

CPU to NB HT Voltage = Auto
NB to SB HT Voltage = Auto
NB Core/PCI-E Voltage = Auto
SB Core/PCI-E Voltage = Auto

Should they all be left at auto?

Ill try lowering the ram down a notch with all the multipliers set to 3X and see if that helps.

largon · Jul 11, 2007

HTT voltages should be fine at auto as long as HTT frequency is <1GHz.

mello_newf · Jul 11, 2007

Still cant get it to work whenever I set the CPU frequency over 250 it just hangs after applying the settings in bios and I have to restart. Any other ideas? Should I us a fixed ram voltage? if so what should I use?

Thanks.

boost ram volts 2.2v or so--also try loosening timings of the ram and make sure you PCI-e bus is locked

Thanks ill give it another go.
