Hi guys and gals, this might be a bit long winded but would really be greatful for some answers. Please note i`m not a hardcore gamer, YET.
Spec:
Asus M4A78LT-M LE AMD (New)
AMD Phenom ll X4 Quad core 955 black edition (new)
Corsair XMS3 4Gb DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz (new)
Nvidia 9400 GT 1024Mbytes (used from my old machine)
Asus Xonar DS sound card (used from my old machine)
Windows 7 home premium 64bit.
Here are my questions:
1, The first time I turned on my machine I had to turn on the 4 cores which all work fine. My bios post screen now says though, ***** 4 Cores activated *****. Should it display that or am i missing a setting? Task Manager see`s 4 cores.
2, Ive used the asus spec for 5% overclock and everything else on auto.
Could anyone please advise on some better settings.
Here`s what cpu-z says:
CPU Core speed, 3456.3MHz
Multiplier x 16.0
Bus speed 216.0MHz
HT link 2160.2 MHz
Core voltage 1.280v
Dual, unganged
NB frequencey 2160.2 MHz
dram frequency 720.1 MHz
FSB
RAM 3:10
CL 9.0 clk
trcd 9 clk
trp 9 clk
cycle time 24 clk
trc 34 clk
CR 1T
GPU Clocks:
Core 550mhz
shaders 1400 mhz
memory 350 mhz.
Please can anyone comment on which settings would be better adjusted. Nothing to extreme thanks. I will be buying an ATI Crossfire graphics card in the future when my xbox finally dies and i will start pc games.
Thank you for your time.
Regards
Sean
