it clocks! it clocks!!! but what should my temps be...

locutus12 · 26 Feb 2006 at 18:24

ive had a venice 3000 for about 4 months now, never been able to get it above 2.2ghz due to what i thought was crappy crucial ram, so i gave up and left it on 2.18. but now ive got an X1800XT thats being mullerd by my slow CPU

so off i go to try again... all yesterday, max i could get was 2.2

then someone on here mentioned i could try dropping the HT from 1000 to 800 ...

currently @ 2.39GHz

i feel like a kid with a new toy

temps...

cpu internal temp 36.5oC @ idle
cpu external temp 34oC idle

anyone got any idea if thats ok??? ive still yet to figure out whats a good temp and a bad temp for the 939 platform

Dr Who · 26 Feb 2006 at 18:27

mines only just below that at stock speeds, so I would say thats fine at idle...

Bu what about under load?

m3csl2004 · 26 Feb 2006 at 18:28

put your ram on a divider and drop the htt multi to 3x

multi is locked but ram was already on a divider

temps under load are 44oC might be able to get that lower, have some AS2 i could replace the standard goup with. also my case is open at present. temps drop when i shut it.

m3csl2004 · 26 Feb 2006 at 19:04

the htt multi is locked?

locutus12 · 26 Feb 2006 at 19:18

oh, sorry hehe, thought you were talking about th CPU multi, to be honest im not sure ive got an option to alter my HTT multi

What motherboard have you got,I'm sure almost every new motherboard can do it, it might be called something like LDT bus though.

Asrock 939 dual sata2, with a bios written in pigeon english

chopchop · 26 Feb 2006 at 19:52

800htt will get u to about 250fsb, 600htt will get you from 250-300+

mc_bob · 26 Feb 2006 at 20:02

Im confused, I overclock with the FSB, whats the HTT?
Im on 240FSB on the cpu and thats about the max, anymore and it will crash, if I drop the HTT, can I get more?

yes!! htt @ 4x or 800, will get u 250-260fsb and 3x or 600 will get u anywhere from 250-350fsb

thanks chopchop

gotta change my bios though, the standard one has a fsb lock of 275. currently at 265.

mc_bob · 26 Feb 2006 at 20:17

So my best bet would be to go on a 3x HTT? Maybe 1.45V?
I guess I should put my Ram on a 166 divider aswell.

mc_bob · 26 Feb 2006 at 20:52

Is there a performance decrease when you change the multiplyer down to 4x or 3x. Im on 3x now and Ive got my 3200+ at 2.6Ghz (2.0) stock.

What was your results before?
And what is your cpu and how far have you overclocked?
And the rest of your specs

Cheers

Shame on you! I have some generic hynix pcworld ram in my machine, which is the thing that's slowing me down atm and I got my 3000 venice to 270FSB = 2429MHz.

So come on try harder

locutus12 · 26 Feb 2006 at 23:06

lol, im at 265... she canna take much more captain....
