Yet another newbie question

Should be in chipset settings, could be in jumperfree settings or cpu settings under htt.

Its not usually very clearly labeled, but look for a multi ranging from 1 to 5 and thats it.

Ive had a look under all the options in bios, and it doesnt seem to be anywhere, not even any ranging from 1 to 5 :eek:

CPU is currently at 2550(255x10) on stock volts, though im not finished there, but its a little update.

It might go from 200 to 1000

200
400
...
1000

It depends on which BIOS you have.

// EDIT // It may also be called the LDT (Lightening Data Transfer) Multi.

Why can't someone develop some stardards for these damn things. Htt settings and especially memory divider settings are completely different for every board. :mad:

I fount it thanks. It was under LDT Bus Frequency, like you said.. 4x is 800 right?

Thanks a lot, for all the help, its very much appreciated

and guess what... comp is still working and no smoke so far!

Only if the fsb is 200. When the fsb hits 250 it will need to go down to 3 to keep it below 1000mhz.

FSB is currently at 260x10, so should I stick it on x3(600)

Joe42 · 14 Jun 2006 at 17:17

Yup. 4x 250 = 1000mhz.
Make sure the memory is below 200mhz. Use cpuz to check.
Is it still passing prime95 with no extra voltage?

Ok ill set it to 3x then, the memory is currently at 216.7mhz, and thats when I stuck the divider on 166.. Its also passing Prime too, so far so good.

*Edit*

Joe42 · 14 Jun 2006 at 17:50

Looking good. Remember to keep an eye on temps and don't raise the voltage above 1.55

I will do.. CPU temp is currently at 36c, with prime95 running on torture test.. I'll try S&M after that aswell and memtest.. Is the memory speed ok?

Joe42 · 14 Jun 2006 at 17:58

As long as its less than 200 its ok. Looks like you'll get that to 2.8 or perhaps even 3.

lol I was reading that and computer restarted :eek:

I guess it wasnt as stable as I thought it was..

*Edit* I lowered the FSB to 250 and now CPU-Z says my Vcore is 2.94, but my Asus Pc-Probe says its at 1.47v. Ok after 5-10mins, Cpu-z has gone back to saying its at 1.47

Joe42 · 14 Jun 2006 at 19:14

hmm strange prime95 should pick up any instability. Try running it for a little longer each time.

Now I cant seem to find the Vcore settings.. under the jumperfree settings(where you OC the CPU) the only options that are there, which I dont know are:

Hammer Vid Control, which is set at 1.400v, but the highest it can be put is 1.450v.

CPU Vcore Offset, I did think this was what I wanted, but it only has two options, which are +100mv and +200mv.

*Edit* Nevermind, it seems the Hammer Vid Control was the actual Vcore setting :eek:

Deception · 15 Jun 2006 at 11:43

ok a lil update: CPU is currently at 265x10 and 36c on full load, stable.. Only had to raise the vcore by 0.125 as thats the minimun it would go up in. All looks good so far.

Deception · 16 Jun 2006 at 13:38

Ok it seems It wont let me raise my fsb past 265 or raise the multi more than x10, Vcore is currently at 1.5.. Should I lower the cpu multi to 9 and try to see if the fsb will go any higher, or just leave it at that. Im happy how it is currently, but im open to suggestions

Joe42 · 16 Jun 2006 at 13:53

What do you mean won't let you?
Is it unstable past that or is there no option to raise it any further?
Leave the cpu multi at 10.
