How to FSB in CrystalCPUID?

[desertmonk]

Basically... HOW THE BLEEP DOES THIS THING WORK LOL :O

I can change Vcore and multi by going to "function > K7/K8 multiplier." I am guessing you can't actually fiddle with FSB on this program?


I have an OEM BIOS and an OEM MOBO, so am very very limited with options, Vcore being a rather key one of them so I am practically delighted that I appear to be able to change vcore using CrystalCPUID (i can't in nTune, for example)

In nTune i can change FSB, HT multi, some (all but tRCO unfortunately) ram timings
In CrystalCPUID i can only change Vcore and CPU multi (down, for some reason Dell didn't offer me a black edition... can't think why...)



I guess there are two questions there:

1) Is the voltage actually being changed? CrystalCPUID reports it as changing, so to does CPU-Z (I don't really believe the voltage is changing, because the BIOS is totally locked, and never been able to change it through any other software)

2) Can you change FSB/HT multi on CrystalCPUID

Use this.

The reason i don't use that is because i have no idea/haven't looked for the ICS number thingy (you know what i mean) on my MOBO.

It also looks very limited (i.e. you can only change the FSB, no vcore, multi, etc)

I also see no support for any nForce chipsets...



Thanks for the reply though! And I've just re-read my title... "how to FSB" lol, worded that a bit wrong don't ya think :/

Yes, if you can confirm CPUz is showing a change, then yes it has changed.

2) Can you change FSB/HT multi on CrystalCPUID

Unfortunately, you cannot. You need to use another tool, like aforementioned nTune or SetFSB.

ok, well thanks for all the replies. I guess it's back to extremem config editing for COD games, and back to waiting till it all spontaniously blows up and i have a good excuse to step to the better teams... blue & red

You could use Clockgen for overclocking, just google it if you are interested.
