gaming results

I've overclocked and have yet to run 4-8hr stability tests, but i have ran occt's stability test and passed. I started playing far cry with my overclocked results and have noticed the frame difference greatly, but unfortuantly the screen gets kind of jittery (more tearing than normal), I know the screen is suppose to do that to allow better frames, but even frames well over 100fps+ is still greatly noticalble. When i have my computer stock, the tearing was usually not as excessive at 100fps+. Right now i'm running my 2.7ghz overclock at stock voltage of 1.36v, do you think maybe i should bump it up a little more like a quarter of a volt or more?

What i'm trying to say is that games seem to run a bit sketchy.

And another thing, i don't know which setting under the bios to change voltages for the cpu. I did see these two though:

-cpu VID startup value &

-cpu VID control

I don't know what "VID" stands for.

I've noticed the same thing with my X2.

If your games are getting that tearing jittery stuff happening, your OC is likely a bit higher than it should be.
Just back it off a bit & see what happens.

For voltage, the startup value is likely a set vcore, like 1.45V, e.g.
VID control is likely a percentage increase over, like 1.45V + 5% more.

backed my overclock down to 2.5ghz (250x10), 9/10 divider and games are still sketchy. But i still haven't bumped the voltage.

I bumped my voltage up from 1.38 from what it said in the bios to 1.4v, and when i get to the main screen on the desktop under my cpu-z it showed that i was still running at 1.36v. I changed both the cpu vid control and start up value to 1.4v.
