first and foremost, merry christmas to all!
on to my agenda: my setup is a 1) abit ab9 pro motherboard; 2) intel core 2 duo 6300; 3) 1 GIG kingston dual channel pc 4200 (533 MHZ) RAM; 4) Win XP SP2
I'm completely new to overclocking. reading through bunch of material, the consenus is that you have to increase Extclk setting in the abit uguru software to achieve overclocking. so far do i have that right?
again based on bunch of material on the net about stable oc'd settings, i oc'd my pc to 1) increase Extclk from 282 (which is the normal setting) to 400; 2) Vcore to 1.4; 3) ddr2 volt to 2.2
ran cpu-z to check cpu speed, and yip it was 2.8GHZ which is compared to 1.86 when not oc'd. you'd think that's good?! but when i run FRAPS while playing F.E.A.R to see if i'm getting increased FPS, to my disbelief FPS went down! When i change abit uguru back to Normal, fps goes up! in fact, tinkering with the Extclk, when I changed it to 185, even though CPU-Z shows cpu speed of 1.2ghz, the frame rates both in F.E.A.R and Rainbow Six Vegas went up.
Can anyone please shed some light on this? How can that? I know it's a long post, so I want to thank in advance to all you read
