Look at my CPU-Z Plze...Need suggestions. - Overclock.net

tojae · 3 Weeks Ago

Below are images of my cpu-z. Take a look at them and tell me what I need to adjust if there are any problems. I'm kind of a novice and not sure if I've made optimal adjustments. I'm totally lost on FSB/RAM ratio...

Been using this setup for the last 2 days w/o any issues..

CPU-Athlon AMD x2 5000+ "overclocked to Quad+L3 chache"
Motherboard-Giga 785GM
RAM-CORSAIR 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066

i would raise my cpu multiplier and bring the voltage up lil by lil until u get bsod then back it off a bit, if ur bios allows u to do that. see how far u can get outta the proc

thx for replying..the thing is, this cpu's multiplier is locked at 11.

Everything is good except for the locked multi.

good job on the unlock. got yourself a cheap phenom quad. is it stable? run prime blend for atleast 3 hours then.....

1.) You need to update your bios i think... (use gigabytes @bios utility it will take 1 minute

2.) Get your ram up to the stock settings
3.) See how far you can push the fsb from within windows using a utility like gigabytes easytune whilst running prime 95 small fft's in the back ground. If you bsod you need a bit more voltage. rinse and repeat till you reach your limit. Set your ram multi to get it as close as you can to their stock settings and run prime blend for about 3 hours. If its not quick enough for you have a read through a few of the amd overclocking guides which there are loads of (you should do this anyway)
4.) run some benchmarks and admire your handy work

Great job their! If you would please fill out the user CP at the top of the page and on the left use add sysytem, that way we ( ocn ) will have a better understanding of what you system specs are and be able to help you.

If your not using a aftermarket cooler get one and push that chip to 3.2/3.3...
For right now keep your ram underclocked as it is and keep bumping up the fsb with as little voltage increase as possible. Once your happy with your OC then we can work on getting the ram up to speed ( overclocked that is )

Thank you all for your suggestions!

I've been tweaking it more today and below are the results..(I'm trying to stay away from volt oc's)

-Increased the FSB to 270
-Lowered HT Frequency to "6"
I lowered the HT frequency to "6" in order to get the HT Link value close to stock HT Link, which was 16000 (200x8).
Am I doing the right thing here? or Should I leave the HT frequency in auto and let it go beyond 2000+??
-Reapplied the thermal paste and I'm getting lower temps even though I've oc'd it more.

Another question I have is regarding "NB Frequency." I've looked into this and I'm still lost.... Looking at my RAM/etc...What is the ideal value that I should tweak to?

I do have ddr-2 1066 but mb doesnt recognize it as such and I have to manually change the volt to 2.1 and change the multiplier in order to get it. But, I've underclocked it in order to maintain stability??..not sure if i did the right thing here.....

Do look at the pics and advice me. Thanks in advance

max temp is high on this because I was running prime95..and the current temp is not idle temp i guess..could be little bit lower if i let it idle for 10mins....

sorry off topic but, why do you have ur 8500gt as ur main card, and a gts250 for physx..... unless u men the other way around..

where do set the ram multiplier? it's on bios right? ram frequency
