Amd64 3700+ - clockgen shows cpus speed at 1000

[ronnn]

Sorry have only oc'd p4, so am trying to understand this. cpuz shows cpu clock at 1000 and multiplier at 5. In bios multiplier is set at auto with cool&quiet enabled.

So is this ok, or do I have a problem?

Ok, after some deep thinking, I disabled cool&quiet and correct clock was shown.

So if I was to put the multiplier at 12, would that be a safe way for a modest overclock? Assuming it passed prime95.

Rasing the FSB is the usual method of overclocking the CPU.

Yes put the multiplier at 12

You will still need to increase the FSB to fine tune the CPU core speed. Bumping the multiplier by 1 will increase the CPU core speed by 200MHz.

What are you talking about? A 3700+ should be multiplier-locked upwards so raising the multi should either a)not be possible, or b) not do anything. Raise the HTT, lower the LDT multiplier (or Hypertransport speed, etc) and set a memory divider, that's all you'll need to do.

It should be locked at 11x. It is possible to bump up the CPU multiplier with high-end AMD processors.

Yes, sorry the bios shows higher multipliers, but they do nothing. I see no way to lock the agp frequency?


edit: oops found it with google. The pcie lock, also locks the agp.
