Mypcisugly, those temperatures (36C) are great especially during Prime95 testing. If you've performed adequate testing via Memtest86 and Prime95 then I don't see any reason to change the memory sub-timings however they may prevent you from overclocking your processor any further. I'd go with jacqlittle's advice and loosen up the tRAS. Shoot for 250Mhz (HT Clock speed) to see where that takes you. If you run into any walls then try giving your chipset (NB) voltage a bump. So far you're doing great

Good luck

mypcisugly

it just hit me .My 720be "that i hate" lol
i had to take out a stick of ram to get past 3.5 that's my wall lol
well im going to leave it at 3.6 till i get the chance to pick up 2g sticks or ram
ty guys for your help

Mypcisugly, I should have mentioned that previously. Overclocking with more than (2) sticks of memory can be a little bit more difficult when overclocking the cpu. Reason being there is more stress being put on the IMC then there would be with just two sticks of memory. I've noticed this since S939 (K8). However there are exceptions

Good luck

It's strange... My mobo is nearly the same than the yours, and my VCore default is only 1.375V, and i don't have to up VCore for OC my processor to the same frequency 3600MHz. Maybe a bios upgrade helps you and change your default voltages...

Bye!

I'm running an Athlon II x2 240 on an XFX 8200 NVIDIA motherboard, I got it stable around 3.2-3.3GHz by bumping up the FSB to about 236MHz w/ stock voltage.

Haven't learned how to play with the Bios multiplier features, what is NB FID and NB VID?

mypcisugly

some cpu's come with higher volts some don't ..my 720be is only 1.28 volts@ stock and its good to 3.4g .. some amd board don't like all ram slots filled up when trying to oc..

ohh well here my cpuz http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=810612

Regamaster, "NB FID" is the multiplier that probably controls your NB Frequency. "NB FID" is the voltage setting. Typically this is labeled as, "CPU-NB".

Good luck

ok this is my first post but i have been reading alot.....im a newb when it comes to this but here is what i have and what i have attempted not knowing if it was ok.
amd athlon II x2 240 regor
gigabyte ma785gm-us2h
scythe cpu cooler
4gb of gskill ram

now i went in the bios and just set my fsb as 245 with a 14x multiplier and it got me around 3.4 stable. but my nb frequency also went up...so what are the best settings for a stable overclock?

mypcisugly

tonkpils welcome to ocn please fill system spec in your control panel ..
then down load cpuz link>>>>>>>>http://www.cpuid.com/cpuz.php to put in same screen shot
open 3 times so it looks like this and and then up load a screen shot for us so we can help you
and also down load HWMonitor link>>>>>http://www.cpuid.com/hwmonitor.php
also put HWMonitor in the screen shot to
and could tell what kind of cpu cooler you have to it would realy help
also you need prime95 to stress the sytem to make it stable liink>>>>>http://files.extremeoverclocking.com/file.php?f=103 you can pick 64 bit or 32 bit depends on your system hope this get to a great start
