Tried overclocking, failed, cried

whoa geez 1.7V!

I used to push it just past 1.8

My load temp on my 3200+ Winchester is 28 degrees celsius. WINCHESTER! Not Venice.


And with that Venice, you should have no problem OCing. And why the hell did you decrease the multiplier to 4x? Least you should do is 7-8x. 9x is recommended. 10x is good.

A friend of mine has his 3000+ Venice at 250*9, but now he has it at 267*9 (2.4GHz) [[4000+ Specs]]

My point? You should OC easily with that CPU. But Motherboard counts the most on OCing. With that MSI OC Technology, you should have no problems. Try doing 250*9 first.

uhh I believe he's talking about the HTT Multi dude, not the CPU...you HAVE to lower the HTT multi to 4x from 5x once you go above 200HTT...and you gotta lower it to 3x once you go above 250

 

[PZEROFGH]

really? you have to lower the mult to 3x once you get over 250. no wonder it wasnt working?

 

[C0RR0SIVE]

heh my computer ran fine with a 4x above 250 but i decided to lower it to 3x to be safe lol, and im curious as to why the AMD website dont list the 3400s on socket 939....

It's a 2000HTT bus.

200x5 = 1000 x 2 (cause of AMD64s, the 2x is automatic)= 2000

250x4 = 1000 x 2 = 2000

275x4 = 1100 x 2 = 2200 = too much...it needs to be as close to 200 without going over as you can.

275x3 = 825 x 2 = 1650 = fine you won't notice performance loss in a lower HTT

Then beyond that I guess you'd only need to go to 2x assuming you got beyond 333HTT

some computers automatically lower it

 

[C0RR0SIVE]

Never did appear to change in the BIOS it only appeared to change after i flashed it again and changed it my self :-\ oh well >_<

 

[PZEROFGH]

well right im at 2.5 with the multiply at 4, then i went to 2.6 before i knew this. and 3dmark would lock up. is that the problem? so i should lower the multi to 2x and then raise the htt to 260

 

[C0RR0SIVE]

Yea that sounds about right ya ask me :-\

 

[Nubius]

yeah but even if it didn't change in the BIOS when you went to look at it, maybe it actually did if you were to view it with software, however I can't think of software offhand that'll show HTT multi.......hmm "Central Brain Identifier" might actually...hmm nope, just checked and didn't see it offhand.

A friend of mine has his 3000+ Venice at 250*9, but now he has it at 267*9 (2.4GHz) [[4000+ Specs]]

Download Central Brain Identifier and it'll give you a 'P-Rating' which I believe is supposed to be somewhat like the processor and 2.4GHz won't register as 4000+, yes I understand the clock speed is the same and all.

I've got mine running at 2.5GHz right now and it's noted as 3951+ in the P-Rating.

No...read what I typed and do the math....3x up until you get above 333, THEN you'd need 2x
