Hey guys, recently I've tried Overclocking my AMD Athlon II x4 620 CPU to get the most out of it, and I've encountered some problems.
First of all, my other components are:
Asus M4N78-Pro Motherboard
OCZ DDR2 1066mhz Gold Memory
CoolerMaster 500w Power Supply
Onboard Video 8300GS (Getting gtx 460 soon)
32-Bit Windows 7 Ultimate
Corsair A50 (soon)
After disabling Cool n' Quiet, C1E, Nvidia Core Calibration and other stuff like that, I had initially started with an overclock to 3.1MHz by boosting the fsb to 240, leaving multiplier at x13, and with a HT Link setting of 2400MHz. Seeing as this was stable, I started ramping it up some more.
Now, my Asus Bios has the following options under its Manual adjustment settings:
Multiplier: Default x13
CPU FSB - Default 200
PCIE Freq - Default 100
DRAM Freq - Default Auto
CPU/NB Freq - Default Auto
HT Link - Default Auto
CPU Volt - Default Auto
CPU/NB Volt - Default Auto
CPU VDDA Volt - Default Auto
DRAM Volt - Default Auto
HT Volt - Default Auto
NB Volt - Default Auto
I have tried raising the FSB to 260, Dram frequency of 933mhz, HT Link of 1600 (2100mhz in CPUz), CPU Voltage to 1.375V, and finally HT Voltage to 1.2V - But it is not stable in Prime 95
I'm sure some of you must have some OC experience with Athlon II x4's, and I would greatly appreciate some help or trusted settings to bring my fsb up around 270 or to achieve a quite possible overclock to 3.7GHz.
