First Overclock

[mikepaco]

I'm really new at this. I haven't tried lowering the multiplier. I also tried increasing the voltage but that doesent go well with Cool n Quiet. It seems the voltage wont go above 1.2 even if I increase it in the BIOS. Is there any way I can get any higher overclock without sacrificing temps?

Speaking of temps, I have no idea if the Speed fan is accurate, and with vista x64 and the new updates, it's the only utility that works. I'm using a Asus M2N SLI Deluxe.

This is the best stable overclock I can get.

you need to disable all thermal management systems for one thing. what temp is speedfan showing? what is ambient?

Looks like you are definately doing something wrong. Your CPU speed is only 1120MHz which is an extreme underclock!

It all depends on what is available to you in bios as far as overclocking goes. I have just currently set up a new system with a Gigabyte GA-MA69G-S3H and 3600+ Brisbane.

I enabled CnQ because according to SpeedFan my CPU idles at around 40c with it enabled. Without it it goes 5-10C higher. I don't know if this is a sensor issue or a heatsink issue, however I rechecked many times and my heatsink is seated very well.

I would compare speed fan with what is being reported in the System Health section of the bios and see how they compare. I would also recommend you set everything related to CPU and Memory settings in bios to auto and get a true heat measurment with the CPU running at rated speed which I beleive is 2.5gig for a 4800+

Check out the recent AT article on the new Brisbane chips. Perhaps use the voltage settings that they went with. They got over 3ghz on all of the chips they tested.
