Overclocking E6 AMD X2 3800+

[Angilion]

I learned it in here a few months ago. I don't know why pasting into Paint is a particular problem for memory, though.

I pasted fine in paint and i will bump it to 166 now then.

whats next bump the CPU FSB up bit more 260?

If you're going to push the FSB up a bit, leave the divider on 133 for the moment.

Find the max clock speed of the CPU and then try and get the memory running as fast as possible. Remember that, on all A64 series processors, raw clock speed will give you a bigger "real world" performance increase than anything else

i'm about to oc my 3800x2 on a asus a8r-mvp mobo, but aint got a clue how to change the dividers, hell i dont even know where they are.

 

[GeForce]

All that should be in the manual mate

Just thought to say when i put it to 333 (166) it crashed and wouldnt go past post but will try pushing CPU FSB further

Ah right, OK

In that case, as you say, leave it on the 133 divider whilst you try and get the CPU clock as high as possible

2.7ghz no extra vcore but will be doing prime 95 and is there anyway of running 2 prime 95's?

 

[Angilion]

If you can use a 300 HTT, you could try 300x9 and a 2/3rds memory divider. That way, you'd get the 2.7GHz CPU you have now and 200MHz memory instead of 180MHz.

I think i've managed t get prime 95 stable (and 720p MKV). at 2.7ghz but had to push the CPU to 1.5V to get it stable.

Next stop 2.8ghz.
