Intel OC'ing - Updated

[hurleyskate284]

I have an Intel D865PERL board, I heard that they won't let you OC. Is this true? Is there anything I can do to change this besides getting a new board?

In a word, no. If the options aren't there in Bios there's not much you can do about it. :frown:

Samsung 120gb ATA-100 - Maxtor 40gb ATA - 100
Sony DRU-510A - EAT ME MSI!

Intel has a software overclocking utility, it allows very small overclocks.

Intel does have an overclocking utility for windows.

Is it something akin to clockgen?

Sony DRU-510A - THAT'S MORE LIKE IT, MSI!

I believe so. It's been out for around a YEAR now, I'm surprized you haven't heard of it. I actually had a link to it back in the days when the compatable boards (Intel's 865 and 875) boards were a scarcity! Yes, Intel had it on their server back then, it's probably still there if you look hard enough.

Edit: Got it, I just need a little help with some terms, since this will be my first time messing with anything in BIOS or anything...

<b>What is SDRAM Frequency?</b>
Right now it's.. 266MHz, it can go up to 400MHz.

<b>What is CPC Override?</b>
Its on Auto right now, I can disable or enable it.

<b>SDRAM CAS Latency..</b>
I know what this is, it's at 2.5 right now, should I lower it to 2.0?


I am certain now that I am
Vindicated, I am selfish, I am wrong
I am right, I swear I'm right,
Swear I knew it all along<P ID="edit"><FONT SIZE=-1><EM>Edited by hurleyskate284 on 07/14/04 03:30 AM.</EM></FONT></P>

Next time you buy a board get a Asus, Gigabyte, MSI or similar.

Intel are lousy overclockers but very reliable. It's obvious, they want you to keep upgrading your CPU regularly.
