Is this normal?

Yes, it's still overclocked to 3.61, I went on the BIOS, could only get 1376mhz, 1648mhz or something.

Ah, yes as your Bus Speed is 206 it will put things out a little, you could try 1648mhz but your system may fail, or you might need to stick with 1376mhz.

Overclockers shouldn't have advertised 1600mhz then? Will there be much different between 1100 and 1648, will I see any real benefit.

RJC · 6 Jan 2012 at 20:53

In the real world, I highly doubt you would notice any difference.

Masterdeadly · 6 Jan 2012 at 20:54

Might would there be a massive like £30 quid difference between say 1066 and 1600? When you say my computer might fail at 1648 would it break or just BSOD.

RJC · 6 Jan 2012 at 20:57

The system may fail to boot or you might get a BSOD, a BIOS reset or just pop back into the BIOS and adjust.

If it doesn't boot how can I adjust?

CMOS reset, I should have mentioned this instead of BIOS :eek:

But this will reset all you overclocks ect.

What motherboard are you using as you might be able to save the current settings to a profile and then reload if an issues occur.

It's dual Bios - Sounds complicated RJC don't want to lose my overclock on my CPU. GA-MA790XT-UD4P

RJC · 6 Jan 2012 at 21:13

Not to complicated, pop into the BIOS and press F11, this will allow you to save the current settings to the BIOS. This will be also handy for future just in case your system does reset it's self.

To reload the CMOS, pop back into the BIOS and press F12, you can save upto 8 profiles. (one might actually be the Ocuk over clock profile)

Done it, and CPU-Z says 825 Frequency which you double so it's all good

RJC · 6 Jan 2012 at 21:48

Excellent

Thank you so much man.

RJC - thanks

It did blue screen of death but I believe it only did this because it was really really hot in my room and it had been on all day.
