AM2 Overclocking help (Asus AI OC = Joke)

Unixlord · November 22nd, 2006, 02:48 PM

Asus describes their AI Overclock feature as "Loads overclocking profiles with potimal parameters for stability when overclocking". The result was hardly what I was expected. All it did was raise the system clock like a jack#%^ causing the pci-e clock to increase and faint black artifacts to show up.

I intend to achieve my own oc manually.

Edit: Locked the pci-e at 100Mhz.

How can I stop the RAM going from 667MHz to 700MHz (although it's stable at 700 I have no use for a clock oc on the RAM)? I would change the multiplyer but it's stuck at 10.

Anyone?

On this one not sure man ...

Folks lets help a brother out we have some smart peeps here

i could not overclok my cpu more than 120 mhz. after 120 not working stable,

As far as stability is concerned check your temps, bump your core voltage and continue. I'm still waiting for someone to answer my initial question. Maybe you're all Intel fanboys in disguise? Do you see the core 2 duo logo whenever you close your eyes?

I've definitely been using Intel boards for the past few years. However, I'm expecting to receive an Asus AMD board in the next week or two. Maybe then I'll have something to try out if it comes with this Overclocking AI you speak of.

Try increasing RAM divider. Ex. My motherboard uses 2:1 and i use DDR 400, so its 200MHz per memory, i can use 5:3 means 333 166 per memory.

Its just math, 2:1 means 2 / 1 x (my FSB) = x;
2 / 1 x 200 = 400 MHz;

5:3 means 5 / 3 x (my fsb) = x,
5 / 3 x 200 = 333 MHz...

Asus AI Oc really sucks... mess up with my memory timings.
(FSB = Front Side Bus or CPU Frequency).

Nice post !!

Hey thanks man! I knew there had to be something that changed the frequency to ram frequency ratio. The Asus manual is rather badly written and the bios has settings for one device spread out into different sections. Do you know if it's referred to by the bios as "RAM divider" or do they call it something else?

"Memclock Mode" Default == Auto
I set Limit, then it shows me 1 more field to change, so i set 5:3.
I think they named it Memclock Mode.

Edit: Pay atention, read your manual next time.
