okay, im kinda a "noob" to overclocking, iv got my amd 4400 to 2.45ghz but i dont know how to clock it further without my htt speed going over 1000mhz, cause if it goes over it then my pc wont boot, iv used mobo drivers to clock to 2.45ghz and it wont let me take it further i dont know why,

i have a pretty good coolder aswell, my uncle works at an engerneering place so he built me a copper heat piped heat sink and i fitted a 25cm fan off a thermaltake side panel :) it can cool my cpu to 26c (16c room temp) and 29c (19c room temp) so its pretty good, so i would be able to OC good with it.

so any way if some one could explain how i can higher core without everything else speeding up, ether bios or a program .exe that i could use :)

thanks,,

allso a picture of my progress,

(btw the cpu fan on the mobo driver cool n quiet thing, thats not the actual fan speed, iv not got my 25cm fan linked to mobo, its plugged into psu) :)

There will be an option in the BIOS to set a HTT multiplier

It could be named something else so be on the lookout for something similar with the options 1x 2x 3x 4x 5x Auto.
 
Hi IceShock,

as others have said you need to have some basic understanding of overclocking and all the different variables involved. . .

The link below is a good read:

Study of Athlon 64 Overclocking Techniques

Here are some things you will probably need to change to succeed, if you don't understand what they mean keep reading the overclocking guides until you do :)

- change your HTT speed from [AUTO] or [x5] to [x3]
- change your Memory so it is running on a divider
- change your FSB from [200MHz] to something higher [255MHz]
 
ok, at the moment im using:

222fsb,
5x ht
11x fsb,
and 180mhz ram, (202mhz after the fsb highers it)
(1100 HT, 2450 Core)

i tryed to run:

236 11x (=2596)
and 4x ht, (= 944)
and 166mhz ram,

and windows wouldnt boot and my pc wouldnt switch off, so i had to reset bios using the mobo battery,

(if it helps, my core is a 939 Toledo not a Manchester AMD core)

how did i go wrong please? i dont know what i did wrong

ok you should set ram command rate to 1T. Set RAM to 133mhz, as you increase FSB it increase memory FSB. So 166mhz could be over 200mhz which'll cause instability.
hmm did my post with pics get deleted :confused:

you need to bump the vcore up a bit i would imagine...1.43 is not much at all, try 1.5v and see how far you get with that.

1T command rate,. well iv allready pushed my ram to work at 200mhz on cas2, should i put it back to cas3 to OC?

btw could the fact that im using a msi k8n neo4 939 mobo be restricting my overclocking, cause its a pretty basic mobo lol
 
i dont know what you mean lol, sorry im a noob, my ram is two 512 sticks, there like 2 year old, pc3200 kingston lol
 
Hi IceShock,

I have a 4400 X2, I can O/C this to 2.66, (11*242, 5*HHT, memory at 1:1 2.5,3,3,7 PC4000) but do do this I need to use a Vcore of (1.5v). Both cores fully tested for 24 hours using full load

If I left it at default I found I could get to 2.5 only, If you want higher speed you will need to increase your vcore.

you will also need to use a memory divider if you want to keep tight timings.
