Hi, I am about to OC my AMD higher as it is already clocked at 3.8ghz using the ASUS TurboV Evo software. This time I am doing it manually through the bios so I would lke some help from you guys what voltages and memory settings I should go for to reach the 4ghz mark. and should I increase the frequency or the multiplier which is at x16 atm? thanks

So I am currently running some burn in tests at 3.7Ghz...what do you think of the info shown in the screen shot linked below...

So I am basically running Prime95 blend test, Hot CPU tester (COU burn in and Memory burn in) and monitoring with CPU-Z, HWM Black Box, CPU ID and the task manager. As you can see the CPU is obviously at 100% and the ram almost fully used. Btw what do you think of 46 celcius for a 100% running AMD 955 at 3.7ghz? Its been on 46 celcius for quite some time now. BTW my Corsair XMS is running at 1572MHZ and 7-8-7-19 timings (stock are 7-8-7-20). Would it make any difference if I set it at 7-7-7-19 instead?

Looks like a good score, just try to increase NB and HT multipliers now so that you run it at around 2600mhz and you're set : )

thanks mate

... so I should set the NB frequency to 2600mhz? (is this the same as NB/CPU frequency?) :confused:

Your bus speed is at 235 so best would be to set your HT and NB multiplier ( 2 separate things ) to x11, this will put your HT and NB freq at 2585.

You might need to give it a slight voltage bump on the NB but see first, it should be OK, I had mine up to 2800mz+ stable so 2585 should be alright for stock volts.
