Question: I just recently got some new RAM installed that's rated to 2133 MHz @ 1.65V. The problem I'm encountering with this is when I try to bump the RAM frequency up in BIOS, my comp restarts and I get a distress signal.

I figured out how to manually input the desired voltage, but what I was wondering if there's a way you can go past what the BIOS has already registered for the frequencies (1066,1333,1600). I tried messing with some things, but nothing seems to have worked up to this point. :-(

Hey Guys just got my new setup today. This motherboard is awesome!!!!! I got the FX-8150... I got it overclocked up to 4400 MHz just by upping the multiplier. I do have a question. Is it ok to overclock a new CPU? Should I break it in first? Also what are some good setting I should try. I am running water cooled.

Thanks,
Bob

Your fine, you dont need to break it in, give her hell! thumb.gif

On my 6100 I'm running a mix of fsb and multi. i'd say once you hit the point of instability up the voltage abit. you should be able to get about 4.6Ghz+ out of that thing stable daily usage.

if your on a good water set up you can get an idea from my settings and tweak from there since you are also on a sabertooth.

Guys, what are the features you disabled before overclocking ? Got a FX 8150 too, and that damn thing is going from 1,4 Ghz to 4,2Ghz without me doing anything...

It's a combination of Cool'n'Quiet and the turbo, you can disable C'n'Q in the Advanced/CPU configuration in the BIOS, or if you have an AMD graphics card, in the control centre in performance or power there is a setting called CPU Power, in there is a slider you can use to adjust the speed of the CPU.

Thanks, going to try tonight. smile.gif
In case I would not overclock right away, is it a problem to enable these features? Do they risk damaging something if i use them for weeks, months ?

Thanks. I have another question. In CPU-z The speed of the CPU go from my current of like 4500 MHz down to 1400 MHz. Is that a power saving thing or a performance thing? Is that normal or is there a setting I can change?

Thanks,
Bob
