Ok.. i still learning from reading here in this forum...
I started to play with my CPU...
I have an Asus P5GD1 motherboard that comes with This AI booster application to overclock the CPU from windows..
There is something i dont understand..
I did set up the Vcore in the bios to 1.40 v ... but the Ai booster app. reads 1.37 when the pc is folding.. and the VCore goes up to 1.43 if i close the [email protected] app and the machine cools down to iddle temps....
So.. shouldn't be 1.40v the limit? why is it going over?
The maximum i am getting my prescott 775 3ghz is 3.23ghz, with the external frequency set at 215mhz ... a little over and my pc locks. Using the stock Hs from intel... and now i am getting 62 degrees when folding.
So .. should i try to go higher with the Vcore?
Does the Vcore setting is the one that produces the higher heat in the CPU?
How can i trust the manually set vcore setting in the bios if later i will see higher readings in windows on the asus application?
And last question...
After reading that sticky thread about basic overclocking principles...
It says that you should be going 1:1 with the CPU/memory frequency...
so.. now my FSB in my CPU says 860mhz.. my memory i guess it could be overclocked higher.. i am not there yet because i dont have a clue about how to start OCing it... but my dual channel memory it is supposed to be running at 800 mhz...
then.. what about the motherboard???? aren't you forgetting this?.. the motherboard it is supposed to be running at 800mhz FSB to match the CPU and memory... but the mobo can not be OC right?.. then.. isn't the MOBO a bottleneck?.... someone please clear all these for me...
Thanks!!
