Hi . Good Day everyone . Newbies here who trying to overclock his "Phenom x3 8650 with MSI K9A2 CF-F
mobo but no luck .
Hoping to get some valuable help here and thanx first for any one who concern .
Here is some info about my spec which i think might help :
AMD Phenom x3 8650 (Stock Cooling)
MSI K9A2 CF-F motherboard
Sapphire HD 4830 (overclocked with ATI overdrive software to GPU 690 / Memory 1020 - Original should be
GPU clock 575 / Momory clock 900 )
Western Internal 500GB Hardisk
Anything else that i should list here ??
============================================================================
Cell Menu setting in Bios (Ms 7388 Bios ver V1.8 20081224)
D.O.T Control ------------------- Disable
AMD Cool 'n' Quiet -------------- Disable
HT Ratio --------------------------- Auto (max up to 13 but currently in 9x so my HT = 1800)
Adjust CPU FSB Frequency ---- 200
Adjust (1st) CPU Ratio --------- Auto (Max 11.5 and current in 11.5 too so my CPU clock = 2300)
Adjust (2nd) CPU Ratio -------- Auto (Grey Out cant select ; So whats this 2nd CPU ratio for?)
Adjust CPU Frequency --------- 2300
============================================================
Advance DRAM Configuration [Press Enter] => Auto (Preset)
------------------------------------------------------------ DCT 0
------------------------------------------------------------ DCT 1
------------------------------------------------------------ Both ( So whats the diffrent within this 4 option )
============================================================
FSB/Memory Ratio -------------------------- 1:2
Adjusted DDR Memory Frequency ------ 800
============================================================
Adjust PCIE Frequency --------------------- 100
Auto Disable DIMM/PCI Frequency ------- Disable
============================================================
CPU Voltage --------------------- Auto
Memory Voltage ---------------- Auto
NB Voltage ----------------------- Auto
HyperTransport Voltage -------- Auto
============================================================
Spread Spectrum ---------------- Disable
Note : from AMD overdrive monitoring tools i know that
my Hypertransport speed -------- 1800Mhz .
Northbridge speed ---------------- 1800Mhz in 9x multiplier
Southbridge speed ---------------- 350Mhz
So above is the Cell Menu default setting & some other info , please let me know if any other info is
needed for a solid suggestion to overclock this system .
My 8650 CPU already reach its max 11.5x multiplier to get 2300 ( 11.5 x 200 ) so i guess the only way
to get a higher CPU clock speed is to increase the FSB frequency right ? But the odd is no matter how
low the others frequency i set for the cpu + HT + memory i jus cant get the system post after i save the
bios & restart even the FSB frequency jus increase by +1 .
Example for my system fail to post if i set something like this .
HT ratio ---------------- 9x change to 4x so i get 800
CPU FSB Frequency --- 200 change to 201
(1st) CPU Ratio ------- 11.5x change to 5x so i get 1005 CPU frequency
(2nd) CPU Ratio -------- Auto ( not available to change )
FSB/Memory Ratio ----- 1:2 change to 1:1 so i get 400 Memory frequency
The only way to make it post and log in windows is to power off the system & restart . but if try restart
after log in windows then it wont post again .
So any advise or suggestion ?? Or should i update my Bios first ?? Thanx again for the help & sorry
for my poor english .
