Help With AMD 925 OC

[ryank]

Hi Guys,
As many posting here this is my first time overclocking thought id get use to it on my 925 before i buy a BE, i have gotten up to 3.43mhz my temps are 36c idle and 47c load (after running prime95 for a couple of hours)

My voltage is 1.4 for somereason CPUZ is bugged

my question is i dont want to increase the voltage anymore (as im near the max which i believe is 1.425) but was wondering if anyone had any ideas as to what else i could do to increase the OC? my HT is x10 could adjusting that help? are my memory timings ok? my rig is

ASUS M4A79XTD EVO
Phenom II 925
CM V8 CPU Cooler
RAM is Team Group Tri Xtreem-1866 (3x2GB)
GTX470
CM690II Case
850W PSU

Any help is greatly apreciated.

Cheers

Ryan

download cpuz version 1.56.3 from filehippo it shows the correct Vcore for your board

max safe voltage is around 1.55volts, i've shoved that through the same board on a Athlon II X4 to achieve 3.8Ghz stable.

bring your HT link back down to 2000mhz, the mobo likes to heat up any higher than this

pretty sure your chip should be good for at least 4Ghz, you should have an unlocked multiplyer? think most Phenom II people run with 200clk X 20 Multi, have a play about to find the settings

thanks for that ill give it a go, the multiplier is locked on this cpu its not a black edition

thanks again for your recomendations

what about RAM timings should i revert these to stock?

Ram timings should be at stock for now, drop you ht link and cpu-nb to 8x as this will crap out before you achieve your max clock. Your fine upto 1.55v providing temps dont get silly
