Hi noticed something funny last night, my overclock has reset itself. I was just shutting down my machine before going to bed. All of a sudden it stalls, still have functionality but wouldnt shut down.

In the end i no choice but press the reset button (hate doing that). As it rebooted i was prompted by the BIOS F1 to recover F2 to defaults. Pressed F2 so clock is back to 2.8GHz defaults.

Is there anyway i can still recover my overclock? As i dont remember the frequency the voltage anything. I hope this doesnt mean playing around with voltages and hours of testing again?

My motherboard and overclock are on my siggy

Thanks
 
Im pretty sure i know what the voltages are. CPU voltage was in the 1.3V something area im pretty sure of it. So its just a matter bumping that back up and getting frequency right. Memory is at DDR 400 as well, this can put up DDR 800 again right?

My CPU has a multipler of 8.5 so what do i need to multiply by this again to get my clock of 3.4Ghz?

Below is a screenshot of CPU-Z

Thanks

 
If it's at 8.5 at 2.8GHz, then i think a multiplier of 12 would make it what it was overclocked to.

Example: For me, my multiplier by defaut is 16, so to get 3.4GHz, it would be the following:

-3.2=16.
-3.3=16.5.
-3.4=17.

For him i think it would be (if 8.5 is 2.8GHz).

-2.8=8.5.
-2.9=9.
-3.0=9.5.
-3.1=10.
-3.2=10.5.
-3.3=11.
-3.4=11.5.

So 11.5, not 12.

if you are refering to the multiplyer this would make it around 4ghz at 12

i dont think you can just raise the multi up like that though

Yep, the multiplier is locked at 8.5x on the q9550, you can drop the multi but cant go above 8.5x on this cpu.
 
i thought fsb * multiplier = clockspeed

so 400*8.5 = 3.4ghz (3400)

@Wes your clock speed increases like that because your fsb is 200 in bios so 200*16 = 3.2 etc
