Default Opteron 180 Overlcock gone wrong?
Hey guys I am trying to breathe some new life into my old 939 Asus A8N SLI deluxe rig with an overclock to my Opteron 180. Below is my first attempt to overclock. However I am still no where close to 3ghz.. whats wrong?


CPU Freq: 220
PCI Express Clock: 120mhz
DDR Voltage: Auto
CPU Mult: 10x
CPU Volt: 1.400v
PCI Sync Mod: Auto

HT Freq: 3x


I ran a test on memory using Memtest and all passed. Timings on memory 2.5-3-3-7

Any advice greatly appreciated

Raise your CPU Multi to 12

Make sure C1E, Cool & Quite/Power now are turned off/disabled in the BIOS.

Up your HT Multi to 4x

Set your RAM voltage to 2.7

the opty180 actually has less OC headroom..and depending on stepping, it might or might not reach 3ghz...

Looks good man, raise the HT clock up by 5mhz and see how far that takes you.

I can remember what it was before when the settings were auto but I remeber that I increased it.

I read somewhere on here that my mobo (ASUS A8N SLI ) requires a vcore mod to go over 1.4 volts.. however it gives me the options to go well above that. Do you think it would be safe to increase it from 1.4-1.5?
