Hi all, I was wondering if I could have a little help with overclcocking my cpu. It's an Athlon II X3 rana 3.2g stock. I am trying to overclock it by raising the FSB from 200mhz to 250mhz, which would give my cpu 4ghz. Where I am lost at is what do I set my memory to and North Bridge to while I raise the FSB?
Right now I have the FSB at 215mhz which gives me 3.44gz on the proc. My memory is reading 1.596 v and it is supposed to be 1.5v. What should I do and what voltages do I need to lower to get more overclocking.
Here are all my specs ATM:
rana 450 3.2 ghz
biostar n68s3+
g.skill 4 gb ddr3 1333 (9-9-9-24)
antec 430d earthwatts
Reference clock: 215mhz
multiplier: x16 (this is as high as it goes)
core DID: divided by 1
NB FID: 1400mhz ( it goes to 2000)
NB VID: 1.425
NB DID: divided by 1
cpu temp: 35c/95f (idle)
cpu voltage: 1.44
chipset voltage 1.20
HT voltage: 1.248
memory voltage: 1.596
I would like to get as much as possible out of this proc and the rest of my system. My BIOS has AMD overdrive config but I will be OC'ing by raising the reference clock. The problem is the memory is reading more than stock volts and what should I set the Vram as and stuff like that.
