That mentions AMD Overdrive. That program wont work because I don't have a ATI video card.

 

[obsidian86]

amd overdrive is for the cpu ,ati overdrive or ccc for gpu

 

[kylepaddock]

I installed it and it says, "there is no 7 series chipset installed"

Any idea why it says that? Could it be a driver problem? If so what driver would i need to install/reinstall.

 

[obsidian86]

thats strange so you gonna have to do it from bios

 

[kylepaddock]

AA i dodnt nwat to hear that answer, could it me a driver? do i have to install one for my Phenom? i have them all installed in for my mobo

The crosshair II uses a 780a chipset produced by nvidia not AMD/ATI.

 

[obsidian86]

you could try riva tuner

Does that mean AMD Overdrive wont work?

Isnt that just for video cards, I have Riva tuner and I don't see a place for a CPU.

 

[obsidian86]

dammit im confused(drunk) this new yrs eve

 

[kylepaddock]

LOL, any idea of a software like AMD Overdrive for me?

 

[obsidian86]

asus OC station ?

 

[kylepaddock]

Could you post a download link. I don't have that software on my driver disc.

 

[obsidian86]

its a device not a program i've lost my mind in a bottle of jameson

 

[kylepaddock]

Hu, what do you mean by device? Do you mean the old BIOS?

 

[obsidian86]

you gonna have to bios it

 

[obsidian86]

the oc station is a device you plug into the asus ROG boards

 

[kylepaddock]

ohhh, So i guess im im back to the old BIOS?

 

[obsidian86]

this is what your bios looks like

 

[obsidian86]

only difference is that your cpu frequency will be 200

and your pcie clock will be set to 200 or 400

also possible that your ram voltage will be different

 

[kylepaddock]

Ya, what is a good ratio for FSB:VCORE 20:.6?

 

[obsidian86]

i would rather leave it on auto for starters

 

[kylepaddock]

My multiplier is at the highest which is 11X. a friend has another board and he can get 16X how can i unlock mine?

You don't, because your chip isn't unlocked.

You need to do a lot more reading. You have no idea what your doing and unless you want to kill something in your computer, you need to education yourself first. Do a web search for an OC guide for Phenom I and start there.
