overclocking 4800 x2

mattymaxx · 6 Sep 2006 at 00:14

ok i am a noob so go easy lads.
Im overclocking my cpu using easytune that came with my gigabyte mainboard. and using this program called SP2004 to put load on it. but when i look at the graphs on windows task manger they only get to 50% power each? so my overclock cant be tested to the max????

Im running the new zalman cooler with the green led fan (top of the zalman page on ocuk) and im wondering what temps are perfect, yet stable for it?

Is easytune ok, or **** i use somthing else?

Im a real newbie to this so please help, i wanna learn lol. ive read the guide but some of it i cant make sense of!

Cheers
Matthew

Are you using the Small FFTs test on Orthos SP2004?

Does the CPU Usage to the left of the graphs only show 50% too?

Are you running 2 sets of Orthos? Or even better, the beta version that's designed for dual-core processors?

Has to be the Beta version, delete the one you have and yest the beta version that will stress both cores, very easy.

EDIT "yest" ??
