Official OVERCLOCKKER'S

[Cool Joe]

The Book of Overclocking is a book which is all about OCing (duh). This is a comprehensive guide on OCing and is available for a small fee here.

 

[comp@ddict]

The first page of this thread has a free one(although it's not frm a reputed author, a.k.a ME)

I am reposting my guide with PICS to make it easier as more ppl are looking interested in this:
It might work...do the following:
1.download setfsb from their site
2.You will need to find the phase locked loop or PLL version for your motherboard..to do that open up your case,remove any big graphics cards/expansion cards so that you have a good view of the motherboard.
3.There will be a crystal with 14.3Mhz written on it...next to this crystal there should be an IC with some symbol and a string of charecters written on it..this is your PLL...copy down this number. Eg: my PLL is CV183APAG...
Here are some pics:

4.NOW boot up into windows, open up setfsb and in the select PLL drop down box, select the PLL number that you just saw on your motherboard
5Now things are fairly straight forward..click get fsb to get your current clocks...Move the slider to increase the FSB then click SetFSB and your done..Keep in mind though that this software cannot help you to overvolt the procy...Enjoy

CAn u post the link to the picture guide please, can't seem to find it THROUGH the pages

Hi guys recently bought new rig... i checked today cpu-z and observed this:
Core speed: 1604 Mhz
Multiplier: 6
Bus speed: 266Mhz
Rated FSb : 1069 MHZ

My procy is e7200 nd mobo p45 neo f.
Is my procy working @ 1.6 GHZ? IT shld run at 2.53 Ghz originally
My multiplier shld also be 9 na?
Is it always this by default and do we hv to change it thr bios to get 2.53 ghz speed?
I hv never operated bios before[]so can anyone guide me wht exactly i need to do?

 

[ring_wraith]

Here's my best:

Intel C2D E6550 @ 3.0 Ghz on Stock cooling.
Ram OC'd as well to achieve 1:1 ratio.

In your BIOS, go to the Jumperfree configuration tab, change the multiplier and bus frequency to the one you want.... It's simple na?

Dude u can't change the multiplier of a non-extreme INTEL CPU AFAIK.

It's Their SpeedSTep technolgy, to save power. It's bak up when games or demanding apps r running.

Go to bios and disable INTEL SPEED STEP. that does the trick



@ring_wraith

Nice, wat's ur mobo and RAM?

 

[amitash]

In your BIOS, go to the Jumperfree configuration tab, change the multiplier and bus frequency to the one you want.... It's simple na?

Dont do that its probably not the problem...there is something called speedstep that lowers your clock multiplpier to 6x when not running any processor intensive tasks to save power...To see if this is happening, load your procesor with prime95 or something similar and simultaneously check cpu-z, the multiplier should have changed to 9x...If u want to disable this then do it in the bios.

EDIT: LOL we both posted at the same time...heres the link btw *www.cpu-cool.de/FSB.HTM

yeh i disabled the eist ..now brght back multi to 9.5 so its showing now 2.53 ghz? How much shld i incr fsb[now 266] to be on safer side .i am on stock cooling.mobo p45 neof.

Hello friends, Intel has officially announced the TJ Max value for the 45nm processors.According to intel ,

45nm Desktop Dual-Core Processors TJ•
Intel® Core™2 Duo processor E8000 and E7000 series 100°C

45 nm Desktop Quad-Core Processors
Intel® Core™2 Quad processor Q9000 and Q8000 series 100°C
Intel® Core™2 Extreme processor QX9650 95°C
Intel® Core™2 Extreme processor QX9770 85°C

So far the real temp has given the wrong temperature(five degree less), and core temp, hmonitor, everest has given the right one!!!

Max clock speed of 3.4Ghz, seriously speaking, u won't need more than that and 4Ghz on stock cooliong is also possible.

WHat ram are u using cause that effects OC too!

Hmm nice search really nice....well now I know what's safe limit...

I am using value ram transcend one[800 ddr2]..so will i be able to oc upto 3 ghz tht enough for me
How to check whether my ram limit is on safer side what is safe value?

 

[Cool Joe]

Ok I stand corrected.

 

[hellgate]

just wanna ask u ppl 1 thing:
my procy is running @ 3GHz,gfx card @ 790|4000 (core|mem),
ran the Crysis Warhead bench tool @ the following settings :
res -> 1440x900,no FSAA,Enthusiast settings,DX 10,map is Ambush and got avg fps of 27.
is this gud enuf or is my system underperforming?just give me the answer to this q and if its under performing i'll shift back to Intel by this weekend.

overall system is running ok.even if i dont shift platforms,i'll change my current mobo cuz its a pita when it comes to oc'ing.

^^Well, I think the GPU is overstressed, what Frames do u get at default GFX settings?

U'll know that when ur system hangs, it's a bit(and i mean only a bit) unsafe.

ANd yeah, 3GHz shud be a breeze even on value ram AFAIK

Ok I stand corrected.

hi,
one og my friends bought a rig
E8400
MSI P 45 Neo
Hd 4850...
n transcend 2gb 800mhz ram...
he wants to overclock t and asked for help.... any help with it???

thanks in adv

Hello friend as far as this mobo is concerned it is pretty easy to over clock, follow these steps,
1. Goto cell menu in bios.
2. Increase your fsb in the bios until it reaches the desired clock.(Go only upto 3.6 ghz if you hav stock cooler).
3.Set the ram speed to auto and also note your ram speed should no go beyond 830mhz. Its not safe for that ram(Me too using the same).
4.Save the bios and restart, if ur settings are ok then the system will boot normally.
5.Run orthos software in windows for atleast 2 hrs to check the consistency.
6.Thats all you are done!!!

What cooler are you using and what is your main usage of the system?

For overclocking, you shud read this or vvvv by Bala

As far as OCing is concerned, he has a new rig, and it's powerful, tell that *&% tobe happy wid his rig and forget OCing for another two years, when it will actually come of any use.

 

[amitash]

^ I would definately OC if i were him

 

[hellgate]

oc'ing is noit only done 4 perf gains, but actually its fun to oc new & diff hardware.

 

[Cool Joe]

Yeah but it's a new rig. And what if things go wrong? I wouldn't want my spanking new rig to go up in smoke.
