My mobo manual says that the fsb jumper has 3 pins, when 1 and 2 are shorted then the fsb is default and when 2 and 3 are shorted then the fsb is in 'test' mode. Does this mean i need to short no fsb pins to allow manual change of my cpu fsb?

Originally Posted by spookedjunglist Test mode is most likely your overclocking mode.. give it a shot and see if it allows you to adjust your FSB... if it does look for something in your bios that states PCI/AGP lock or something that reads 33/66/100 lock and make sure they are locked then your all set to start overclocking ![]() |

My mobo can go to 300MHZ fsb but i cant even get 245MHZ so really i cant put my watercooling to the test (wishing to get 3.8GHZ) so what do i do? |

If you benchmark the system at a lower clockspeed 1:1 ratio, and a higher clockspeed 5:4 ratio, you will notice that benchmarks will be around the same or lower for the second setup, running a devider also takes away memory bandwith. So unless you're trying to set a clockspeed recond, you're better off running your RAM/CPU in a 1:1 configuration for optimal performance. |
