| | | heres what I found in my BIOS (organized by current setting followed by a > and then other possible settinggs) MISC. CONTROL (change CPU's Clock & Voltage) CPU RATIO: DEFAULT(enabled) > x11, x11.5, x12, x5, x5.5, x6, x6.6 Auto Detect DIMM/ PCI Clk: enabled > disabled **Current host clock is 100/33MHz Host/PCI clock at next boot is: 100/33MHz > MIN:100, MAX: 132, Key in DEC:_____ **Current DRAM clock is 100MHz** DRAM clock at next boot is: 100MHz > 133MHz, 133MHz, 166MHz, 200MHz VDIMM Select: 2.5V(default) > 2.6V, 2.7V, 2.8V AGP VddQ Select: 1.5V(default) > 1.6V Vcc2.5V Select: 2.5V(default) > 2.6V
The one thing thats got me confused is the CPU ratio. Since the default setting is simply called "DEFAULT" and has no value.

| I'm no expert on this, I use my Asus's auto OC feature which just does it! Sweet. What mobo, CPU, memory are you trying to OC? What type of CPU cooling? Are you willing to sacrifice your components to the ever hungry fire gods that rule this uncharted netherworld? Ha! Bring on the heat.

| | | Posted by Napoleon_Solo well if I do OC i'll definitely be looking for a liquid cooling solution. M y mobo is Jetway KT400, Memory is DDR 400, CPU is AMD Athlon (1.1GHz) currently its purely air cooled but i'll definitely be hooking up some water cooling of i bring the temps up above the shut off temp.( I think its set to 58c). The hottest i've ever had is 50c it was on a full load and it was a hot day. But I have AC now so that should help.
| That's not very high, look up your CPU's max operating temp. Cooler is always better. I like to CPU below 140 F, and HDs below 110 F. F is easier to use in the real world than the metric version. Not sure how hot your ambient room temp was, but at 70 F room temp my 15% OC Athalon 64 X-2 4800 is running at 125 F at full usage for 10+ minutes with an aftermarket air-cooled heatpipe. Water-cooled solutions can fail and require more maintenance, don't use if not necessary. Make sure the case is well ventilated, keep an eye on memory, vid card, and chipset temps. Do a search to see how others with your CPU/chipset have OCed, and how high they were able to OC. Take small steps with voltage increases, use AMD Cool & Quiet if available for that CPU/mobo.

| | | Posted by Napoleon_Solo So do I even have to bother with the CPU ratio? or do I just op the voltage on the other parameters?
| I'm no expert on this, but someone here might have played with this. Google search. Try this site too. http://www.planeta...dex.php?act=Search As you start to increase the speed at some point your will need to increase the voltage, always use sparingly. No more than is needed for stable operation. In my case the 15% increase was enough to make me happy, and the mobo did most of the calculations. This is not a big increase, and it does not run at full speed if there's no demand due Cool & Quiet, it also cuts the CPU voltage back when reducing speed. So I'm not pushing this CPU, or any components past their specs, and this OC most likely will not shorten the system life to the point where it would be seen during it's services life. You can fry stuff easy if your not careful, so consider how much your willing to lose.

| | | Posted by Napoleon_Solo that site was really helpful. Turns out I cant actually raise the voltage of my CPU and according to some of the diagnostic tools recommended, my CPU is already using the highest mulitpier. I can still OC my RAM tho I raised it from 100MHz to 133MHz and its noticeably faster, I'm gonna try 166 next week. I cant figure out how to use the RAM stability tester so i'm just gonna run it for a week and see what happens :s if anything breaks, I need to upgrade anyways so whatever.
| That's a good site. I really like AMD too. You probably can, and might have to raise your RAM V if you OC it. Don't raise any Vs unless the system is unstable; it will generate unneccessary heat, and can shorten/instantly destroy components. If your not getting any/much performance gains ...test to see if the OC is really helping. Monitor all heat generating components on mobo, don't forget to check the RAM sticks temp. You can Mem test the sticks to see if their OC is stable. You may need to add more case, mobo, or CPU cooling. Remember; small steps at a time. Have fun!
