Opteron 165 Overclocking Help

[Sean Maxwell]

I'm looking at the individual core speeds in CPU-Z and they both show 1.425GHz each.. I'm at 285 in my BIOS, is this a true 2.85GHz overclock? Reason I ask is because I've seen screenshots of X2's overclocking with multipliers at 10x and cpu0 at 2.0GHz -- when my cpu0 is at 1.425GHz (as is my cpu1)

help?

Uh, no, you're way underclocked.

You're using a 285MHz FSB, but your multiplier is at 5.

Opteron 165s have their multiplier capped at 9, so you can't do 10.

ok thanks

I think CnQ is on or either you set your multiplier to 5....

for some reason it was at 5x by default, and I didnt know it was running at 1.425GHz.. thought they might be running at 1.425GHz each.. but I hit 2.7GHz ^_^
