cranked up fsb?will it damage my sys?

hmmmm......
isnt the multiplier of amd 64 processors fixed(except the fx series)?
and i cant change the v core voltage .....there is no option.....
can jus increase ram voltage and crank up fsb dats all.....

multplier can bereduced not increased for amd 64. I think don't use mulipliers as 8.5,9.5, don't use them, atleast not until an expert approves.

Without v core change you may not be able to go very high, look for that option, otherwise change the mobo for higher ocs, get dfi.

today ran prime 95....
it ran 4 almost 2 hrs (stress test)..
and no errs occurred......
so .....
can i inc my fsb now safely?and how much?

 

[samrulez]

It at at oc or at stock???FSB??

If you really want to be safe:
Run Super PI 32M test
Run Super Pi 1M test only for quick checks, but do the 32M test after you have decided to keep a speed, try the 32M test for sure.

Run 3d mark 06, 05 and 01
3d mark is very very intensive, my prime 95 torture test using 1024(though you keep everything default, was a mistake by me) small FFTs for 8hrs showed no error, it failed 3d mark 06 and 05 in minutes.

Run Prime 95 for 8-12hrs atleast. Preferably 24hrs or more.

If you have oced your ram then run memtest around 10hrs or so.

After that you are fine.

Noop .. all Athlon64 models are multiplier unlocked ... but the normal Athlon64 multiplier can only be lowered below the max. value according to the processor .. while the FX series can go both ways ...
