you're using ddr 1000's, so its just oc'ed ddr 800's by default, when in bios MIT menu, you should be able to see the current mem speed with fsb 230, now if its set at this by default @ 4.00x mem divider, youre basically running your ddr 1000's @ rated speed+the fsb 230 increase, so thus its going beyond its speeds of 1000, probbaly hitting around.. 1066 or w/e it is atm, but not all mem can oc good, so you might wanna try the next lower divider putting it to run at ddr667+ the oc increase from 230fsb. get it? im losing track myselef here too..LOL

and dont worry about the multipler, but i guess its a good start in the never ending journey of OC'ing, like im only using 14x multi, basicaly the default multiplier..lol. im sorta thinkin bout returning this 720 and get a 710 instead now..har har..

I think I get it, I need to downclock it with the mem divider to compensate for the OC by the FSB?

elito

YES! VERY GOOD AT UNDERSTANDING ME WOOHOO! I MADE SOME SENSE FOR ONCE AND NOT JUST KNOWING WHAT IM TALKIN BOUT TO MYSELF..HARHARHAR. so yea go try now and tell me how it goes. im gonna go for 3.8 stabilizing tonight, see what i can find..i post and boot and stuff at 4ghz tho

Ok I set 4x mem and I put the cpu multi to 14x and I got post and boot at 230fsb. Do you have any suggestions on how high i should try and go and what I should put the NB and SB volts at?
*edit* No I exit the bios without saving I get no boot at 230

elito

you'd also have to adjust the NB and SB frequency aswell..they should NOT go above 2000mhz atm, because we're going for stability. but leave those 2 at stock volts for now. since we're gonna keep those under ~>2000. and as we're speaking, im going for a NB of 2400mhz, it was on 2.12ghz with my stable 3.7oc, but i wanted to see if i can push the NB higher, and by doing so, i've gotten higher scores on everest mem/cache benchmark..so if this stays stable for 2+ hours. im a happy person for tonight.

Ok ill try that see if it works
*edit* Hey your so smart lol Raised the NB freq to 2000 and I can post and boot in 230fbs. Dont know how stable it is yet but its a start, where do you think I should look next?

elito

lol@ "youre so smart" part. its just from the endless readings that you can find on the internet in AMD oc'ing. esp. when i enter in the 939 era, which the way how AMD oc's is still the same..which benefits me because i didnt have to learn everything all over again for phenom's so yea bro, start reading some guides and just post questions wen you have em. but dont take it as, to learn how to oc over night and expect things to run stable. if its stable now and if thats where u want, then start stressing it. if it passes 3+ hours on w/e stressing app you use, then you can claim it stable, if it passes 6+ hours then youre almost rock solid stable.

mochtroid since you have a 720BE and not 710 my suggestion is to use higher multi first then once you hit a wall then raise your voltage then once you reach 3.6 then use OCCT to check your stable voltage... no need to change your nb/vid voltage... raising your NB freq will only give you about 5~10 fsb oc headroom so its not worth touching that it will just build up heat :P... also did you update to the latest bios?

Ya Ive been reading the guides,pretty usefull. I am trying with the cpu multi again, I can only get up to about 250FSB and at 14X its not so great, unstable too. Im stressing a 215fsb x 16.5 setup now, how its stable....
@Nemesis Im pretty sure that when I tried using the multi only earlier today it woulnt post past 16.5 and vcore 1.5, dont know whats up with that since you guys are hitting 19x...
