My first overclock 1055T

[vaiopup]

Increase fsb if you are clocking your ram.
If keeping ram at stock raise the multi if possible.

Prob multiplier then, I wanna kinda start slow, does it make much difference in stability, aka is increasing FSB more reliable than increasing multi?

 

[vaiopup]

However you do it is trial and error.
Voltage adjustments may be required.

Not had much experience of upward multi unlocked chips so I am used to ram/fsb clocking.

Yeah... well I supose the ram is good quality so no harm in OCing it

hmmm voltage changes!! need to read up or find info on that, can you help?

 

[vaiopup]

Better to read up than take folks opinions.
Different platforms have different requirements.

Edit.....No Phenoms here.

 

[Hellfire]

yeah cheers, cant find much sorry!

 

[Hellfire]

Okay... could be a problem.

apparently on the 1055t the Multi is locked, which means FSB overclocking, however due to this

and I have 4x2gig sticks which means I'm going to be very limited I guess, from what I can understand.

I have the same chip and Ram as you right now and I'm running perfectly stable at 3.36 GHZ with strictly a FSB increase . (No voltage adjustments)

Nice.. was just reading the Ram limitations. made me curious it wouldn't work

is there anyway to unlock multi on the 1055t, why the hell did they lock it?

That's the main difference between the 1055T and 1090T, the 1090 is the BE (Unlocked Multiplier). The "true" enthusiasts chip for OC'ing.

Me, I always do mild overclocks, so I did not need to spend the extra $100 for the unlocked multi......

yeah well O/Cing isn't a mass for me, minor 3.3-3.5 for me is fine, but FSB should work I hope.

 

[Cybrnook]

Works fine for me

Ahhh so if I get this, he "under clocks the ram" then uses the FSB to overclock it to get around 1600, I think i'll do that

 

[Cybrnook]

well for mine I changed the Ram/Cpu divider, but more or less a means to the same end. Your on the right track !

 

[Hellfire]

Thanks, How do you work out what voltage you'll need, I mean that vid he changed the voltage but obviously im not going to go to 4ghz, so how do you know what you need?

How did you change your RAM/CPU multiplier? right, im getting the basics.


CPU = FSB*Multiplier

still trying to get my head how the ram works but I get that increasing the FSB means overclocking the ram

 

[Cybrnook]

at 4:37 in your video is the cpu/ram divider. That's what I adjusted to get my chip frequency up, but keep my ram at 1600. At 240, my ram is at an even 1600 with the divider.

So, 240 * 14 = 3.36 CPU with My Cpu/ram divider putting my ram at 1600 (stock)

All my voltages are on auto.

(If you look at the screen shots I gave you, you will get detailed specs on my set up. My CPU is running at 1.375 Volts)

 

[Hellfire]

Ahhh the Dram frequency bit, Im with you, so you can raise your FSB to overclock your chip, then lower the collum (DRAM Frequency) to keep it around/under 1600

 

[Cybrnook]

CPU and RAM are on the same "BUS" if you will. If you increase this "Data path" for the CPU, it in turn increases the RAM (parallel). They work hand in hand.

The more you get into overclocking, people will explain an overclock to be a 1:1 Overclock.

Meaning they set no divider (like I did) to achieve their desired overclock.

1:1 is nice because you increase Cpu as well as RAM. However CPU speed is MUCH more noticeable than Ram speeds.

Exactly, or even Under the rated specs if you want to push the chip further. But then you will more than likely need to raise the CPU and NB voltage to compensate for the added strain ("SPEEEED").

you mean "over" the rated specs? not under, surely under means it is running slower.

I mean under the rated specs. What im trying to say is that, if you adjust the divider bringing the ram frequency down. Then as you in turn increase your FSB, this RAM frequency will start coming back up closer to its stock settings. Or if your ballsy and have a nice/known good OC'ing set of RAM, then you can keep going and push them past the rated specs.

 

[Hellfire]

Also, is there a CPU Overclock calculator out there, as it is pure maths Instead of sitting doing the maths bit by bit by myself a simple program would work

yeah, im with you.

4.0 should be attainable on your setup. im putting together a 1055t rig right now for export. which motherboard are u using?

as far as calculating your cpu speed its fsb x clock multiplier.

so if your fsb is 240 and the clock multi is 14 then 240 x 14 = 3360

the msi 890GXM-G65 is a piece of cake to oc w/ this cpu. just flip the 2 dip switches down for 3.36ghz

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
