Ok, I've been trying and trying to OC successfully beyond 3.8 on all 4 cores. I use Prime to test my results. I gave up on any software OCing and just strictly BIOS.
So if any of you reading is on an ASUS M4A87TD EVO motherboard and AMD 965 BE, please send me your settings if you have successfully gone over 4 ghz stable. These are what I have.
After tweaking and tweaking, I winded up with 3.9 stable. But the strange part is, I realized that only 3 cores were " ON ". So on the next restart, I changed in Bios to 4 cores while keeping the same settings. I run Prime again, and it failed.
My question is... why is that and what does it mean? Does it also mean that getting 3.9 on three cores is the same performance and 3.9 on 4 cores?
NB-2600
volts- 1.45
HT- 2000
RAM- 1533
CPU multi- 17
cpu freq - 232
Everything else at auto.
Thanks for your time.
