4200 overclock advice

[J273]

Ive just bought this chip ....Upgraded from a opteron 144 which i had @ 2.4ghz

id like to clock this chip a little to say 2.6 if possible

Im running a dfi lanparty

If i change the

FSB FREQ = 240

LDT /FSB = X3

CPU / FSB = X11

And up the vcore to 1.4

what would i need the ram divider set too?

3/4

Thanks

Ooops ive just realised ive posted this in the wrong forum

could a mod please move it to the overclocking section?


Thanks

Should be good for 2.75Ghz 99% of the time (250x11) on stock volts, drop the memory down a tad to find out and make sure the HT set to 3x or 4x. Ive put plenty of s939 x2 4200's in PC's of late and all managed 2.75 or better. Edit; caution though as they get hot even at stock volts when o/c, unless theres some decent aftermarket cooling on-top.

Great thanks guys...ill give it a try in a bit

Sorry a bit new to this...does anyone know what HT is labelled under on a dfi board

Thanks

Also what divider would i need with 250 x11?

Thanks

Hi mate,

Sorry I know squat about DFi's but I'm running an X2 4200 in my SN25P shuttle

250 FSB x 11 multi
3 x HTT
166 Divider < s'what ya want

gives me 2.75 and I'm limited as I'm at the fsb is at it's max grr lol and yes these do clock well but get toasty. mines idling @ 33 on one core 35 on t'other

but that's with stock shuttle cooling. this cpu could defo do more in another board / cooler combo. I'd guess at 3.0 with a good air cooler

Thanks matey...Ill have to try these settings

Im running a freezer 64pro which is rated upto a 5000+...so hopefully ill be ok

Let me know how you go on fella, here are some screenies from everest displaying my current settings. I''ve found 2640 to be a nice balance of stability and yet retaining decent temps

best of luck

Top man....Thanks for that

Ill post back with the results in a bit

 

[J273]

Ive just put them setting in....Im showin 2751Mhz

With a bus speed of 250

how come mines showing a different speed to yours matey

Im gonna do a bit of stress tesing in a minute with sp2004

Only problem im seeing is on the DFI boad the sensor PWM Ic which i believe to be Motherboard temperature is showing 55 - 60 deg idle

ill see how far it goes whilst stress testing

 

[J273]

Just ran the sp2004 stress test but it halt's after 1 min 15 secs on both cores

think i may have to lower my fsb a little....Ive set the vcore to 1.3 which i beieve is stock for this chip....do you think that could be the reason for it doing this not enough power causing it to stop

I left it at 1.3 thinking this would keep the temps down....I may bump it up a little to say 1.425 and stress test again.


the only thing is the PWMIC temp on the dfi mobo its really high,cpu temp seems ok so does the chipset its just this temp.

Does anyone with a dfi board have any ideas as to what could be causing this ?



Im slowly getting the hang of this guys

Thanks ........MoD_Callidus,SkeeterPSA,Sean_UK for the help advice

Much appreciated.
