@ Sam.Shab

Even I own X4 630 not 620 :)

@ajai

So are you using FSB*MP -> 235*14 ? And is it stable ?

Apart from over-clocking .. I have one question for you . Are you able to get hdmi audio ? I believe even your mobo has got same IGP as mine (4200 HD)

I am using 236X14 and under clocked memory and HT link to meet the OC.So
my HT link kept to 1.8GHz now its running in 2.1Ghz.Also memory is in 1066 mode and its running in 1260Mhz.If we dont change memory according to that, it also will be OCed to unstable values.

My mobo supports HDMI,DVI etc but actually I dont know much about it.:smile:

Ok thanks for the info.. i will try with this value and post my result

Right off the assembly line
You can raise the fsb as high as it will allow you as long as you keep your memory at or below the rated speed.

You can unlink fsb from the memory speed on some boards. Others you just have to change the cpu/fsb (spd) ratio to keep the memory at or below it's rated speed.

Say for instance your in your bios and you raise your fsb to 400 and that makes your memory jump up to 1660, obviously you dont want to run your 1333 rated ram that fast and likely it will fail to boot anyways, so, you just change the cpu/fsb ratio (example 1:1, 2:1) so that the memory drops down to 1300 or something close to that.

Don't mess with your cpu voltages unless you really know what your doing. You should be able to get to at least 3.2 without raising the voltage. I don't have any experience oc'ing that particular processor so I can't really say for sure but I would bet 3.2 on stock voltage is a piece of cake.

In my mobo there is no settings for adjusting FSB Dram ratio.I can only set RAM modes.If i set 1333 mode It will be OCed much and result in fail.So I kept it in 1066 mode and its running in 1260Mhz.

@ajai, the first CPU-Z pic not coming well. can u try? also can u check 1 thing, to run the proccy at default speed & be stable what is minimum voltage needed. can it be done in 1V only? i seen X4 620-630 running stable in 1.1V or slightly less, so want to know minimum voltage.

I cant see any option in bios to undervolt the proccy.Only +.1 +.2etc are there

Dear all,

I see some strange things with my PC.. It may be simple question but i am confused with this.

I see -ve values for core temperatures in amd overdrive and value 0 in cpu id hwmonitor.

Which one is CPU temerature from above details ?? is it TMPIN1 ?

First you check the version you using 32bit or 64 bit.In win 7 and vista the application should be run as admin.If its not working try bios hardware monitor to find the CPU temperature.If it is 0 in bios it must be sensors problem.

Overclocking is dangerous when we dont know the temperature of the cores.

yup. maybe sensor problem. also no temp, no OC.

Well , I set same values 236X14 , HT link 1.8ghz ( but it is running in 2.1ghz). And memory mode i have 4 options like
400mhz, 533mhz, 667mhz and 800mhz .. I guess for 1066 mode i have to select 533Mhz .. isnt it ?

For me also getting same values except voltage .. :( it is auto and , voltage is showing 1.47 unlike urs 1.36

I set my bioas to default , set ACC to auto and now it is showing proper values .. but still idle temperature is 45 C,

ACC has nothing to do with Athlon II X4 630.If you turn on ACC for all cores,temperatures will show wrong values.Thats the problem not the sensor's fault.No need of ACC for over clocking.You just disable it and go on with your OC.

Good Luck :thumbs:

I guess that was the problem .. Previously i was using ACC to set all cores. At that time I was getting wrong temperatures as i detailed in previous posts.

When i set ACC to auto , during boot-up it will prompt me a msg "Press 4 to enable ACC" every-time. And all softwares shows valid temperature values.

What is the advantage of using ACC ?

@ajai are you able to set you Vcore value? coz mine is set to auto and im not able to change in bios. When i set same values for over-clocking as u mentioned, my Vcore values rach 1.47 , wehre as in your snap shot it is just below 1.4. Why is this different ? Is it coz of my MOBO ?

I think My mobo is more overclocking friendly.Because when the vcore is set to auto it sends 1.36V in idle and in max load with prime it doesnt go over 1.39.That seems good for me.I tried reducing the temperature by reducing the voltage.But for that we hav to set a constant value. I tried lower values.In 1.3V PC failed stress test before maximum temperature say 62C.If I put higher voltages proccy will be stable but temperature will also go up.Its safe to run this proccy below 62C in Stock HSF.For that AUTO voltage is best for me.1.36 in idle and 1.39 in max load @ 3.3Ghz.

ACC is Advanced Clock Calibration its used to unlock cores,cache disabled by manufacturer due to any reason.The reason is important because if they disabled it due to damage, we wont be able to unlock it or the unlocked wont be stable.If it was done to meet the demand in market, we are lucky.(But I dont get the point in disabling working cores to meet the demand in lower cored proccys.)

its not like that buddy. Biostar motherboards are always considered best when it comes to OC. have a look at the world top OCs. most of them go for cheap Biostar based 790GX, rather than Asus Corsshairs. or Gigabyte UD7s or DFI's lanpartys.

i have heard a rumor that some legendary OCer have went to Biostar from DFI (in 2000 or so) & after that Biostar have been taken as center of attraction in any form of OCing, be AMD or Intel. also their 8600GTs were very much OCble. & allows change of voltage to DRAMs & GPU.

well Asus known for their innovation & Bios. clean bios & excellent bios.

Even im using stock cooler, He has not put any thermal paste. Asus TD V-Evo mobos heat sinks are better than biostar G3 HD mobo .. But still why my cpu temperature is high compared to Ajais cpu , and also the voltage .. Im using same values but my vcore voltage is much higher than his vcore voltage ..

And why i am not able to change voltage in bios ? it is set to auto , when i press enter it shows nothing..

I am going for a Coolermaster Hyper TX3 for 1k.I need my proccy to run in 3.5-3.6Ghz for a long period of time.Running an OCed proccy in Stock HSF wont be safe for future.The chip may not last longer.

Please post the snap shots when u add new cooler .. Im still unlucky with my idle temperature .. At stock speed,cooler,voltage my idle temperature is > 42 C .. Is it mobo problem or CPU problem ?
