Any kind soul fancy helping me out? I've read the OC guide in these forums and OC'd plenty of AMD rigs in the past but the p5k-e bios has me lost! So if anyone could give me a starter for 10 on what to change in this boards bios I'd appreciate it.
Followed your suggestions and got straight in at 3.2Ghz, time to start stress testing, cores at idle look ok though - 36,37,32,35 according to core temp
Quick update, temps under Prime at 3.2 hit 61C evenly across all 4 cores, but chucked up an error on core 3, so I'll give the vcore a nudge, I take it thats still the next step to take?
This build was only completed this morning so its going to need some time to settle I'm also letting the bios handle the CPU fan and its far from running at full tilt so the system is staying pretty quiet.
I was being dim, forgot to set Prime to short TFT's going fine now at 1.312v according to CPU-Z sitting at 62C, will go to the pub and leave it running.
Another quick question, Core temp reads my CPU speed as 3600Mhz (450 x 9) as does windows properties whilst CPU-Z reads it correcty at 3200Mhz (400 x 8) any reason?
I've made a few changes, increased the FSB to 425Mhz, increased the CPU voltage to 1.336 (in CPU-Z) and changed the Ram voltage from auto to 1.95, Priming for 40 mins at 3.4Ghz with temps at 62-62-60-60, is it worth going for an 8 hour prime at this stage or should I try for a higher OC?
Retail week 39 from OCUK a couple of weeks before Chrsitmas.
Prime just failed, followed by a BSOD when windows finished loading, I've increased CPU voltage to 1.36, will re-try prime at this volts for an hour and take it from there I think. I take it these are low volts for these speeds, I've seen talk of using upto 1.5?
edit, another BSOD voltage now up to 1.376 on the core and 2.0v on the memory. Running prime again, 2 hours stable so far
thanks m8, was one of the first changes I made. Managed 3 hours of prime before the need for COD4 took over, will set it running again tonight though and try for 3.6
Could do with some help guys, went to 3.6 got into windows and then got a BSOD, clocked it back to 3.4 and 3.2 but after post all I'm getting is a black screen where windows would normally load
Changed all settings back to default and still nothing is my windows install borked?
edit - I'm guessing it is as my XP disc loads up fine, going to try a repair first then a complete install if I get no joy....argh!
My heads in the bin today! Fired the PC back up after clearing the cmos...nothing on the display, thought oh cack I've killed my gfx card, yup you guessed it forgot to plug the power back into it lmao.
Going to clock back to 3.4 and leave it today I think!
Cheers for the help CyZMyAssBaby, will be back tomorrow for >3.4
Tried for 3.6 again and managed to get into windows with CPU volts at 1.4125 in bios but failed primed, increased this to 1.4250 and again failed prime, increased to 1.45 and got a BSOD as soon as windows loaded. So I'm back at 3.4Ghz >8hours prime stable, I think I might have found the limit of this chip?
OK, will give that a try, daft thing is when these are set to auto finding the actual voltage the board is using seems almost impossible, or am i missing something?
