[Gelardi]

I have A8n-SLI, +3200,

Hi, when i turn ntune on i get the following message.

"PCI clock is set to track the HT bus."

i have to disable this funcionality.


Does somebody know how i turn those things off mentioned in the warning message?

Thnaks.

Hi,

You have to get into the bios, select the advanced tab, select Jumperfree Configuration, and on the very bottom of that page, set PCI clock to 33.3333, instead of auto.

Good luck

I did that: overclock profil: manual and pci clock syncronisation :33,3 Mhz, but i still have the warning??

Yeah its kind of stupid that Asus put that PCI clock setting in bios because it has never worked in any of the bios on my board. It does not lock the PCI bus! Test it with Clockgen if you don't beleive.

Since the beginning 1 thing and 1 thing only locks the PCI bus! That is increasing the HTT to 201 or higher in bios. If you do this the ntune message will disappear, and the PCI bus will be locked, then you can raise HTT in windows. If you don't do this and you try and overclock in windows you will crash once you get past 220mhz HTT.

If you want to raise HTT in windows, download and use Clockgen NF4. nTune and AI booster are both trash, don't use them for anything other than monitoring unless you enjoy crashing your system. Make all other changes directly in bios multis, voltages, ram settings etc...

Overclocking is really easy and fun on this board, once you learn the tricks

And you will definately want to use a memory divider, you can get a much better overclock using memory dividers. Most people want to try and run ram 1:1 to get a high ram speed, but on A64's it just doesn't make sense. Always maximize you CPU speed, never sacrifice CPU speed for higher ram speed. 20mhz of CPU speed provides more performance than 60mhz of ram speed!
