Vcore? And other overclocking questions?

[keogh]

Ahh I am getting it now!

Just two things that confused me there, you said:

The higher your HTT, the bigger the ram divider

Wouldn't that mean the "lower" the ram divider? Cos if I pushed my FSB up higher, I would have to lower the divider from 400 to 333... right? Or is that what you meant?

Finally, I had to ask this, cos you used the word knacker, and I don;t want to blow any parts up if possible You said:

HTT bus will knacker at above 1000 (stock 200x5) so use whichever multi you need to keep it below 1000

People use the word HTT aswell as FSB... and you say keep it below 1000... 1000 what? Obviously not mhz, cos its way above that already? So I assume you mean something else... where can I cehck what it is at? i.e. Is there anywhere in the BIOS that will tell me if its over 1000?

Sorry, as you can tell I really doon't know too much.

Thanks again! Your helping me out alt here!

Yes I mean lower the ram divider

Your HTT bus is your HTT (FSB, stock of 200) multiplied by the HTT multi (stock of 5) to make 1000mhz (2000mhz effective)

Over 1000 it will become unstable and cause instabliity. Set the divider to 3 and it will be fine, the bus is nowhere near saturated so you wont see any performance loss

sorry defcon, I understoood what you meant bout the HTF thingy after I posted that I've set it to x3 now.

If you don't mind, I will post all the stats im fiddling with in my BIOS on here soon... if you can give me pointers on what im doing that would be great?

I'm gonna keep fiddling with it now, ta!

Also out of curiosity, the HT Link is at 660mhz now (220x3) should I try and get that as high as possible... but below 1000 of course?

I updated the BIOS yesterday, and that got a lot of things working that werent working before, but my maximum vcore I can go to now is 1.450v... deffo went beyond 1.500v yesterday... does that sound right?
