Over clocked settings through uGuru

[Lagu]

Hi

I have as you all have read over clocked the processor a little. I got from 2247/204 MHz to 2277/207 MHz using the tool uGuru. I have write the difference in settings between the normal speed and over clocked speed. But there have not been any changes in RAC/CAS yet. I don´t know if I for example change the speed to 2.310 MHz if it will affect RAS/CAS?

Normal speed 2.247 MHz, 204 HTT

CPU voltage: 1.500 V
AGP: 1.55
DDR: 2.40
NB: 1.50
SB: 2.50
HT: 1.20

Multipler: x 11.0

Memory

Frequency: 160.5 MHz
CAS: 2.5 Clocks
RAS to CAS: 3
RAC frequency: 3
Cycle Time 7 Clocks
Bank cycle time: 10
DRAM idle time: 16
Command rate 2T

Spd Timings table

Frequency: 200 MHz
CAS: 2.5
RAS to CAS: 3
RAS precharge: 3
Tras: 8

Overclock 2.277 MHz, 207 HTT

CPU voltage: 1.550 V
AGP: 1.55
DDR: 2.65
NB: 1.55
SB: 2.55
HT: 1.25

Multipler: x 11.0

Memory

Frequency: 162.7 MHz
CAS: 2.5 Clocks
RAS to CAS: 3
RAC frequency: 3
Cycle Time 7 Clocks
Bank cycle time: 10
DRAM idle time: 10
Command rate 2T

Spd Timings table

Frequency: 200 MHz
CAS: 2.5
RAS to CAS: 3
RAS precharge: 3
Tras: 8

You guys, have you any point of view about above?

thats barely a 1% overclock. you won't notice a difference.

edit: i now see you are running Norton System Works. that program itself slows down your machine alot, its an awful application.

On my compy, I brought the cpu from 2200mhz stock to 2600mhz (well 2640 to be exact: 11x240) right now I am back at stock, because HL2 wasn't working, and I thought maybe the OC was the cause of it.

I haven't done much with my VCORE, but I think I can get higher if I push it up a couple.

I am not on stock air though, I have a Zalman HSF that lets me idle at 30C when OCed :D

Then, for my video card (I don't think ocing your video helps any in this realm of computing haha) it has a stock 500mhz core, and 1000mhz memory. I brought that up to 550mhz and 1100 mhz with no artifacts or anything.

overall, OCing is just plain exciting! (oops, pushed it a little too far, gotta reset the BIOS) hehe lots of fun !

The uGuru recommend steps of 1 GHz for HTT each time for example from 204 to 205 but I jumped to 207 (3 GHZ) directly.
I will let it crunch for some days and see if it will be stable.

i think you can be a lot braver and add a few more than that at a time.

as PcManiac says, if your computer crashes from overclocking,and you can't restart it,reset the CMOS and start over again.

keep notes so you know for next time.


btw,my Intel 1.6A Ghz cpu has been running @ 2.396Ghz for almost three years now. that cpu is a champ!

[Lagu]

Yes, I wich I could but I must fix the high temperature first. I guess an upgrade of BIOS will solve this if I´m right. Right now the:

CPU-temp is 83 C degree
Sys temp is 36 Cdegree (Seem good)
PVM temp is 42 C degree (also good I guess)

PVM=the temperature around the CPU power supplying circuit.

I have now reset the settings to default but am running at 2277/ MHz. before I had 2.247 MHz.

CPU Frequency: 2277 MHz
External Clock; 207 MHz
AGP Frequency: 66 MHz
PCI Frequency: 33 MHz
V-Core 1.500 V (Before 1.500 V)
AGPV: 1.55 V (working voltage of AGP video graphic accelerator slot.)
DDRV: 2.60 V (Displays the working voltage of DDR memory slot)
NBV: 1.55 V
SBV: 2.50 V (Displays the working voltage of NB (Northbridge) chipset)
HTV: 1.20 V (Displays the working voltage of Hyper Transport)

Right now the CPU-temp has sunk to 78 C degree, and Sys temp is 38 C degree and PVM is 43 C degree.

It seems as when I had a higher V-Core the CPU-temp get hotter. It is difficult to know when and how much Volt I must decrease. Is there any thumb rules?

Lagu I suggest you scroll down the link here and read all theyhave to say about OC'ing. This URL is awesome in understanding everything you need to know about OC'ing.

Oh and I am back up to 10% over stock on the 4200+

Hi Empty_5oul

After 2 days I seem to have figured out what happen when my Graphic Card got a mishap. If I don’t reminds I have change the voltage for the AGP-card from 1.55 to 1.60 Volt. Perhaps that is the cause. But The GPU was hot and I think it have spread a little more warm air than it should. I was forced to reboot and after that the GPU was normal again. After normal settings for the Voltage there have been no fail yet.

Thank you. Will watch this page lather. It is much to read and it takes long time for me.

Lagu :D

[Empty_5oul]

i just read it through and it is very good. lots of information. I will make it a favourite i can see i will be visiting it frequently when i try to add a little more mhz to my AMD!

was it jeff who posted this original link - its great thanks! :D

[Lagu]

Hi Empty_5oul

Yes, you reminds right. It was Spjeff69 as realeased this link years ago.

Nflight found this topic interesting and especially that link he posted was wery exiting for him.

Thank you Nflight as digged out this old cat :D

Hi

I´ve just make a printout of the first page on Li A4 because S A4 was too small so i should lose some letters on the right side. I got 9 pages and the results seems good.

[Empty_5oul]

lagu if you apply this to the uguru machine i think there is no need for all the rebooting. I am pretty sure you have all the options within the OC guru. I havent checked yet but i know you can change a lot of numbers and voltages through it. If you can this will give you an overall better result as you can have your machine at 100% CPU all the time - so the temperatures will always be fairly accurate.

I´ve only rebooted once when the Graphic Card got overheated. I´m now running HashClash and QMC without any probs. The computer is wery stable because I have over clocked by only 3 MHz from 204 to 207 so far.

I will go to my reseller tomorrow and hear what he says. The temp is far to high but am not sure uGuru shows the right temp.

Hi, thought i'd add what little I know. I'd double check your temps using the speedfan program http://www.almico.com/speedfan.php
This site/forum helped me start overclocking my board http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=888001&page=1&pp=20
If you cpu is really running at 80c+ you may have a problem...mine average at 50c underload(room temp 25-27c)

Edit: Oh and the motherboard manufacturer supplied overclocking programs arn't all that great imho. I used the one from mine(called core center) and it only lets you overclock 20mhz >.> . After reading that overclocking board I linked up there I downloaded Clockgen http://www.cpuid.com/clockgen.php it works alot better but I guess it dosen't work on all motherboards

Hi

Late in Yesterday I increased the speed to 2310/210 MHz. I have set V-core to 1525 first but then I notised it change between 1.52 - 1.53 so I changed V-core to 1550 V but I don´t know if it is nessesary.

The computer has crunch QMC and uFluid the whole night without any problems.

What is you guys option?

[spikey_richie]

Run Prime95 on it just to be sure.

What is the speed when you have over clocked your 3200+ 10 %?
Is it 2.400/220 MHz?
If I should over clock my computer by 10 % the speed must be 2.447 MHz and I think it is impossible to do do that. The computer should shout down.

Normal speed for my computer is 2247/204 MHz. Right now I´m running at 2.368/215 MHZ (7.66 %) over clock. This is calculated from a standard speed of 2.200 MHz.

Are your prosessor a ClawHammer?
Are you using TURBO settings?
What is your make of Graphic card?
