OC Question

Zamoldac · October 9th, 2007, 01:44 PM

i have a dillema, i changed my cpu to 3800+ i had a 4200+ but i sold the 4200+ and now i'm back to my old 3800+ before i oc'd it to 4200+ ( from 2Ghz to 2,2Ghz) but then i had 667Mhz ram modules ( and the limit of the motherboard is 800) now with 800Mhz i can oc the cpu or the sistem will become instable, now my QUESTION is : Should i put me mem on 667Mhz and the cpu around 2,2Ghz or 2,3 Ghz or leavea it like this 800Mhz and 2Ghz ? does the memory frecvency count so much ?

smart thing would be when u change a cpu fsb to lower down ddr fsb (to 533 or 667) so you can get higher oc on cpu and set a ddr latency to optimal (for stability)

i hat to lower the ram at 400Mhz to be albe to oc it a little bit better,
=> CPU-Z Validator Database <= , if you have any sygestions feel free to type e'm down. thx Rage

the maximum stable core i got was 2380Mhz but i runed some tests and there is no overall performance boost at least not to great so i decided to run it a 2Ghz stock and the mem at 800Mhz stock

You need to lower the HT multiplyer. Also why on earth is cpu-z not displaying your voltage?

They never put voltages you know why because ppl used the voltages of overclockers and put it on theirs own and that's make alot of bu****it so they sue cpu-z for that is for that now they dont put it and secondo it's the voltage the main key ! .... Well is strange an 3800+ oc to 4200+ you can reach more far with an proper cooling

think to buy another cooler (not stock one)

well i thik i'l have to buy some proper cooling but curently my 2600xt just died on me, so first i got to see what i'l do with that

you know...for what youd blow on a decent cooler and all you might as well buy yourself a new 4200+ their only like 50-60$ and all your problems would be solved and the rig would be running properly

I'll do my best to help you. But you must be prepared to help yourself. Thread necromancy is an unholy sin. Yblindartist you should know better.

CPU Clock is much more important then DDR clock.

true rege but how unix have writen that lower down a HT (he will lose performance
maybe because HT is link from cpu speed to ddr hmmm )
ddr 667 (kingmax) is 1.8v so he could go to 750-800 with 1.9v
with x9 or 9.5 cpu multiplier
