Hi folks. New at this oc thing. Not a gamer. Just trying to learn a little. I've soaked up as much info since Nov. as I can. The rest comes with hands on experience and advice.
I have x2 4200 w/stock HSF, this board, 2gb crucial, raptor, ATI 9250 vid card.
Put it together Sat... none of the problems others had. Sure smokes my pII 450 I've been using for 8yrs. Temps been staying 31-33c.
So today I decide to start playing w/the settings. here is what I got so far...
cpu speed: 2545mhz(stable and tested for last 6 hrs. cpu temp 45c)
cpu mhz: 230
cpu multi: x11
cpu volts: 1.4(limit w/p1.5 bios)
mem:
clock: ddr400
8 beats
cl 3
trcd 3
tras 8
trp 3
1T
NB/SB link: both 600/16 bit
dram volts: high
In the end I will be satisfied w/running at 2600mhz for every day use if I can keep temps at 30's to low 40c's. But for the purpose of learning, I want to see if I can get higher oc w/o temps getting out of hand. Not doing any mods. However, I got a Ninja and fan coming tommorrow to help w/temps.
So, how do I proceed after I add the new HSF and backplate?
I've done every adjustment I can at this point except I 've kept the cpu multi. at x11. I don't get it yet how lowering it helps your cpu clock higher.
Any advice/help appreciated
