new screenie for cpu-z

Looking good Dazboots.

I wish they introduced a venice with a 13x multiplier though - that would suit my BH-5 a treat.

The extra cache is a hindrance in many ways but the higher multiplier offered an FX is exactly what I need unless someone brings out some DDR580/600 BH5 or similar.

Love to see some improved 3dmark benchies with that OC my man.
 
Mav why not just use a divider? A64 are always divided so it should make much difference.

Nice overclock Daz :)
 
I dont understand Nick mate :confused:

I never use the .5 multiplier and always run my CPU in sync with my ram, that's to say my FX55 is set-up to run 12x268 and my BH5 does the same 268, if I add in a ram divider (say set ram at 166) there is a big performance drop in all major benchies for more me (superpi, 3dmark's, aquamark etc....).

Knowing that I love the performance that my BH5 give me, and knowing that my rig loves the ram FSB to be the same as my CPU HTT, knowing my CPU hates the .5 option in the multipliers (12.5 for example), realising that SD or venice will clock higher and that ultimately my system will perform best with 268HTT (tightest timings, highest bandwidth), I believe that I need the 13x multiplier for me to be able to maximise performance with the best overclock achievable, which for me would be 13x 268 = 3.484Ghz

But if I have got all this wrong, let me know, I am open minded about all of this, what I want to avoid is buying a CPU that will only offer me a marginal performance increase over my FX55 but clock the same (12x268) or where I get penalised for having a maximum 12x muliplier can overclock the CPU like a champ but have my memory divided which dilute the performance boost on my new investement.

I think he means something like this:

Drop the multi to 10

HTT to 320

RAM on 5/6

The lack of high multipliers can be compensated for by using a higher HTT speed, putting the RAM on a divider.

You'll have a similar overclock then, 3.2Ghz with RAM at 267MHZ. You should see little performance hit running async as long as the memory is running at a similar speed.

You can get alot more flexibility if you use dividers.
 
You will get a performance hit when running a divider but the higher htt should more than make up for it. I was just referring to the A64 being always divided so dividing the memory is less of a performance hit than it was with axp
 
Interesting,

Okay, just changed from 1.75v (1.4x126%) 268x12 HTTx3 straight to 320x10 HTTx3 with RAM running 166 instead of 200. All other settings remain the same.

System wont even boot to windows :(

The question has to be asked, knowing that I can happily run 268x12 at the settings I have, do I need more or less volts in the CPU to run at the the same speed with higher HTT?
 
Just a little higher to top my best overclock daz. Good clocking :)

Is Clockgen good for overclocking with? They have one for the MSI K8N neo, i have the Neo 2 plat. should i use that version?

That will work peachy. Clockgens excellent for squeezing that little bit more from your rig imo
