Changeing HTT multi in windows???

[crazylegs]

hey all have been having a little pre-BIOS OC trial with ClockGen - i have the correct version for my NF4 ASUS A8N-Sli Board and get up to 265*9 stable and coolish, however if i for to 270 windows reboots....

i was wondering if this was to do with my HTT freq far wxceeding the 1000MHz standard:

5*200 = 1000MHz
5*265 = 1325MHz
5*270 = 1350MHz

it seems possible that this may be the threshold for windows to be able to stay alive???

if so can i change the HTT multiplier in windows from *5 down to *3 ??? as i cant see an option within CLockGen to do this....

thanx all

What's the point? Only unstable conditions come from going over 1000 and there's no performance gain or lost going over or under 1000. But to answer the question, GCPUID will let you do it, under the extras menu it can change that and your voltage from windows.

change the HTT mult in the bios from 5 to 3 and go from there.

Yep, change it in bios. Changing multis and or voltages in windows is a tricky and dangerous practice that will cause crashes, make all these type changes in bios and limit your windows overclocking to increasing the HTT(FSB), you will save yourself some headaches

Bios OCing is your friend.

Eschew Windows-based programs if at all possible!

i'm not a fan of bios oc-ing myself.

i've corrupted my hard drive too many times setting my oc in bios and then trying to get into windows.

so now i use clockgen to test my overclock and i haven't had to reformat my hard drive in like.... 3 months which is a record for me
