OC with Asus A8n-SLI

[Gelardi]

Hi,

i'm quite a newbie with Oc, but i read all the forums her abou t OC.
i have +3200, 2'512 MB Geil Ram and Geforce 6600GT. My ide was to oc with nTune, but many people advised me not to.

If i undertsand right: i have to chage the FSB and multiplier: like 800*3. In that case , do i have to change my RAM? The one thing i can't find anywhere, what is 1T and 2T measn in RAam adjustement?

And what is with Clockgen: is that easier to OC from Windows, as far as i can see, you can adjust the same things in Clockgen and BIOS?

Thanks?

If you couldn't find anything on 1T vs 2T then I'd really advise you to look further.

There is an overclocking guide stickied even at the top of this forum that mentions it.

You have the FSB (more referred to as HTT in the A64 world) and multiplier, right.
Regarding all this stuff read Zebo's sticky in this topic.

With the Asus you trigger your RAM divider with the "DDRxxx" option in the DRAM-section of the BIOS. DDR400 is 1:1 (to HTT). I e.g. (see sig) use "DDR333" to divide my HTT.
Also always remember to adjust the HTT multiplier to end up with a maximum of 1000 (HTTxHTMulti). Should be set to auto anyway in BIOS

Clockgen is a good way to find out your max without rebooting all the time...once you found it, set the BIOS... I also use Rightmark RMClock to adjust voltage and multiplier dynamically according to system load...saves a lot of heat and noise
