How to achieve the best from my mobo

Recommended Posts

i have a 2.4 Ghz core 2 quad processor, geforce 7600 gs 512 mb graphics card and 1024 mb of ddr2 667 twin2x1024-5400c4 ram could u guide me how to overclock all of these stuff to the max (in the bios though) i even got an asus silent knight cpu cooler which is pretty good for cooling oh yea and i have a 600 watts cooler master psu.

what did u mean by post your CPU Revision from CPU-z and your VID from Core Temp. firstly the core temp doesnt work ill tell u from my bios utility its cpu temp is 27 degrees Celsius and is runnin at 1.200volts i dont know but in nvidia monitoring tool it shows my cpu voltage as 1.3000 and in the asus pc probe 2 it shows 1.28volts

I need both the CPU revision and the VID. to give you good advice. CPU-z will give you either B3 or G0. Do you have your CPU box? Check the FPO/Batch number. What is it? Check the sSpec on the box. Is it SL9UM or SLACR? Are you running a 64bit OS?

G0 is a better revision. You are going to be held back somewhat by your DRAM. High overclocks of the CPU with a drastic divider down on the DRAM will likely show some instability and will slow a high overclock down.

This will start you with an ~3.0Ghz overclock. Test with Prime95.

 

Prime95 v25.2 Ready to Download :

 

OS: 9x/Me/NT/2k/XP ---> Download v25.2

 

Run for ~ 8 hours to be certain of CPU Stability. What are your load temps after at least an hour of Prime95?

why do u recommend prime 95 what about nvidia's monitoring tools??? and how will i beheld back by my DRAM?? and is this the maximum it can go to so far with these specs,,, and are the latency thingy the optimal values u mentioned i mean it doesnt get better than that right???

I don't know what you mean by latency "thingy". Prime95 is the best program to test your system stability. This is not about monitoring the systems voltages and thermal outputs, it is about stressing the system to be certain it is stable.

 

Yes, you will very likely overclock higher if your staiblity and thermals are good at this level. You can't just jump to the highest level as it is a ladder step up approach.

 

By being held back by the DRAM, I mean that your dram can only go so high and it is rather lower end DRAM. This is not the maximum but you will have to test the system throughput to see when you are choking off your CPU with the lower DRAM speed. Running the CPU very fast does not help if it is running on a low speed bus pathway. There will be a point of diminishing returns with your Quad core and this DRAM.

 

You might wish to go to http://www.overclock.net for more understanding.

what i meant was the latency timer if u increase it what happens and if u decrease it what'll happen, my cpu temp has risen from 37 to 49 im gettin a little worried. and it seems stable to me 4 now i mean bout 30mins have passed and tell me whats the difference b/w SL9UM and SLACR which one is better?

I dont know if this is correct but before the overclock and after the overclock i checked the asus pc probe 2 bios utility software and its says warning

1.2 VHT=3.09V

SB Core=0.14V

CPUVTT=0.26V

DDR2 Term=0.02V

NB CORE=0.00V

Memory=4.08V

 

tell me if this is correct or wrong

Those numbers can not be right. G0 is a newer revision and runs cooler. It also has less micro errors than the previous B3 version.

 

I told you what to do with Prime95. Please do it. Download Core Temp. It should work fine. If it does not, then there is something at issue with your system.

I am asking for full load temps. Not idle temps. Download Download Here Prime95 and let it run for ~1Hr. What are the load temps while this program is running?
