Hey guys,
A nutcracker here?..
I am new here and have been reading a lot on overclocking the past 3 weeks.
When trying after reading, I had bad results using the AI booster in de Bios. I had to reset the oc a few times, even ahd to reset by CMOS jumper and AI booster made me do system restore in safe mode to get rid of it.
My Bios should have a MP according to the motherboard manual, but it is not there, only for the LDT there is a MP.
My system:
E4500@2.2GHZ stock
RAM: Kingston dual channel DDR2 800MHZ @ 533 (3:4), 1.8v
Motherboard: Asus P5nd2-se
BIOS: latest version 801
Complete BIOS screenshot info (exactly my BIOS) at
http://enthusiast.hardocp.com/...wyLCxoZW50aHVzaWFzdA==
Case: Coolmaster CM 690 with 2 extra fans at top (Exhaust)
I want to start experimenting with manual clocking in the bios.
But I don?t know how my Bios settings should be. Right now it is:
C1 = off
Intel step technology is off
Centrum spread is off
MP is 11 (CPU-Z) and I cannot change it
FSB = 200 (QDR=800)
As I said, when set to manual jumper free configuration, I have limited options.
I can change teh FSB and RAM frequencies seperately when both of them are set to manual mode by using CPU/MEM manual mode:
http://enthusiast.hardocp.com/...FFSEJfMl8xMV9sLmdpZg==
I have then for both FSB and RAM a ?target speed? and a ?current speed? . The FSB tight now gives me 800MHZ on current and target.( It is also on a target of 800 and a current speed of 533 when the entire BIOS is set to automatic.)
But.....
One thing that struck me was that the motherboard can handle DDR2-533 and DDR2-667 RAM according to the specs, I have DDR2-800 RAM in it and it is working fine. However it is working lower than the 667 maximum of the motherboard ??? The current speed is even 533 even though the target was set to 800 Mhz
This machine should be fast right? And be able to go a lot faster.
So In the BIOS I can change FSB and MEM completely manual or have one of them automatically set.
For the OC should I have them both on manual and start like this:
FSB 201 RAM 201
FSB 210 RAM 210
FSB 266 RAM 266
And then adjust the timings? they are on auto now.
I guess that if I would set the FSB and RAM manually to e.g. 266
, the I am on 1:1. This is still way below the max of the 400mhz per DIM. So latencies can be set to 4-4-4-12?
I seem to be the only one with this problem since I have been unable to get this done after 3 weeks of intensive reading and trying. I am pretty good with hacking psp?s, working with software and medical devices, diagnostic software etc?
But I Just never over clocked + my Bios is different it seems.
It is frustrating me!!! I need to get this done!
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
