The noob guide to overclocking A64 CPU's

Thanks Fraggles, I might add voltage now that Padwan is under way

That'd be rippin'! Let me know if u need any BIOS screenies and I'd be happy to ablige.

Thanks FragTek, Jim has offered some pics as well. As my A64 setup isn't running yet, help in that dept would be appreciated you da man!!!!

ok now im at 2.447ghz :worship: at a core voltage of 1.550v and ive changed my ram divider to DDR333 (austin tolod me bout the ram part ) but when i run prime 95 it says theres an error im not sure wheather i should raise my vcore voltage any higher or is there something else to get it to 2.5ghz?

Yeah Raise your vcore a little bit. Only go one step and see what happens. Prime should pass

awsome so when ive passed prime will i be able to oc a bit more or have i done enough now

I think you might be able to OC more.

What cooling are you using? If its stock it will depend on that.

Do not get the core above 1.7v...try to keep it below 1.65v if possible.

What are your temps like? Keep them below 55*C loaded

Report back when your done.

Have you dropped your LDT or HTT multiplier) to 3x??

im at 230 mhz and at LDT of 4x rams at ddr330 and im at vcore heat of 1.575v wat should i do and prime 95 doesnt not pass yet????? :worship:

 

[Dav0s]

what are your temps??? under load

 

[{TAS}Lone Shadow Wolf]

well speedfan says my CPU is 39 degrees and my HD0 is 36 degrees and system is at 29 degrees and PWN at 37degrees so wat should i do?

 

[Dav0s]

run prim95 and see what your temps are whilst doing so. this will be your load temp because the cpu is working harder

 

[{TAS}Lone Shadow Wolf]

wen prime 95 is running cpu temp is 48

 

[Dav0s]

ok u are safe for anoter voltage boost. give it one and see how high u can get

 

[FragTek]

Yeah just crank it up to 2v and see what happens

Please for the love of god don't do that... I'd hate to be responsible for some noob doing that and blaming it on me, hehe.

 

[balilu]

lol @ 2v. it's better if you wrote a Disclemair saying "Don't try this at home" lol

 

[{TAS}Lone Shadow Wolf]

k now im at 2.53mhz my LTD is at 3x and my core voltage is 1.550 v but it still wont pass!!!!! prime 95!!!!

ok we may need to relax your ram timings. see if you can find them in BIOS.

they will be called CAS latency and some others i cant remember. change CAS latency to 2.5 or 3 and mvoe everything else up one notch.

Go for 2.5-3-4-7 and see how we go
