How do you OC this thing? LOL

[Fitseries3]

i havent had AMD to OC for over 2 years so help me out here.

what do i need to do?

im using some shit generic ram, asus m2n-sli dlx, sempron LE-1230 and 2xgtx295s

i've gotten this at stock...

I'm gonna be zero help here good luck!!!!

Umm, up the multiplyer and bump more juice into it ?

 

[Fitseries3]

hey...

if i can get motivated from this then im getting a PII 940BE to mess with.

i can do that? this isnt a BE so i figured it was set at 11 or whatever its at

 

[Meow9000]

Honestly have no idea, im looking through some other sites at the moment.

Worked on my sisters rig this weekend, Sempron 3000, 256mb ram, 64mb ATI... still having nightmares ):

 

[Fitseries3]

well i can do 5ghz on intel cpus but im no good OCing AMD yet.

just need to know the process and whats needed most.

I think it's just a case of bumping up the bus speed and increasing volts ? Sounds too simple to be a correct answer though. Also I think lowering the HT can increase stability. I'l PM someone who will know.

yuhu im geting the same thing, bump up the volts and up the bus speed to 225

There is a way to unlock the multiplyers, google it and theres a few articles on it

 

[Fitseries3]

i know you can unlock cores but not multis

where you see that?

Try changing Cpu host Clock control from 200 to 210 Amd's need good ram to OC without BE

 

[AphexDreamer]

Just increase the FSB and up the volts to stabilize it. Not that complicated. Or if you can Up the Multi instead even better. But a higher FSB will also Overclock RAM depending on the divider for a multi of 11.

 

[Meow9000]

Therefore, they began to take measures to stop the overclocker in his tracks. Here, the company began "cutting" the L1 bridges, which are responsible for setting the clock multiplier. The broken connection of these bridges essentially locked the multiplier at one fixed value and left only the FSB speed for adjustment

basicaly you have to mess with the cpu and reconnect it, hope that helps

 

[Fitseries3]

can you drop the memory multi like on intel?

Yeah that's how i do it instead of 5.33 i do 4.0 in ur case it would be 3.33
U should be able to get up to 235 stable with only a minor .025 V+

Dude have you looked at this AMD Overclocking guide. Should give you a nice tour.

This one might be better.

I think someone on our forum made one too.

QUAD SLI on a sempron. BIGGEST BOTTLENECK EVER!!!!

ok, as for oc think it as an intel. Up the fsb, drop the ht multi, up the voltage of the cpu, bla, bla, bla

 

[Deleted member 67555]

Uhm... If you use AOD adjust any VOLTAGES in the bios ahead of your OC this is the fastest way to mingle wit it, Volt changes in AOD=Unstable but clock adjustments and memory timing's are easily adjusted there...And if you have not already disable AMD COOL & QUITE

aww a budget x2^^

should do its 3 ghz when cooled well... and with 1.4 volts or so..

 

[Fitseries3]

i want 5ghz.

how do i do it?

i've got PLENTY of cooling

 

[Velvet Wafer]

buy you a ph2 940 and put it under phase, dice, or ln2... there you have 5 ghz..^^ ive never seen a k9 much over 4ghz, and only very cherry ones do so...

 

[ShadowFold]

Highest K8 has ever seen is 4.2ghz. You're gonna need a Phenom II for 4ghz+.

 

[BUCK NASTY]

You won't get 5 ghz without a pot and some LN2. You'd be lucky to get 3ghz out of a 65nm AMD chip with a locked multi. Gotta work that FSB. Drop the HT down a notch as well as the memory multi. Then start raising the FSB until unstable, then add some volts. Rinse and repeat. Remember to keep the HT below 1000 and the memory below it's rated speed.
