x_6985381 Posted April 10, 2007 CID Share Posted April 10, 2007 Running cpu-z I've had an error with my cpu as the speedstep is impossible to turn off. Is it possible to overclock this processor, I've tried using Clockgen from the creators of cpu-z overclocked maybe .600Mhz faster and if I went higher system would crash. What programs or BIOS features do I need to learn how to overclock. This is getting me rather heated as the motherboard rates a 1333FSB and with this processor I'm only pushing 1066.6MHZ With a bus speed of 266.7MHZ. Is it even possible to overclock this processor, thats the main reason I chose to buy a new computer, to Overclock. I wanna see what this processor and motherboard along with the ram can do. Rams at 400MHZ when it's rated at 800MHZ Whats up? Someone please help me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x_6985381 Posted April 10, 2007 Author CID Share Posted April 10, 2007 Cpu-Z may not work with vista, only conclusion I can come up with. But NVmonitor rates everything at correct speeds, But still what should I use to overclock. I can not overclock this with anything I've thought to use, and I really don't like google searching programs to overclock. Anyone suggest a program?

Buntz Posted April 10, 2007 CID Share Posted April 10, 2007 I use the BIOS to overclock my computer.As far as I know that is what most people recommend. To overclock my video card I use RivaTuner .not sure if it works with Vista. You can also use ntune or coolbit to overclock your video card. Remember to only raise it up a little bit at a time and watch the CPU temps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x_6985381 Posted April 10, 2007 Author CID Share Posted April 10, 2007 Bios wont let me do anything it's weird only thing it wants to let me change is the ram timing and voltages cpu speed stepping and multiplier nothing about the frequencies at all can be changed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buntz Posted April 10, 2007 CID Share Posted April 10, 2007 Some Bios hide certain options. On my Gigabyte board I have to hit the Ctrl& F1 buttons to see all of the options.These are both AMD boards maybe Intel boards overclock differently. What did you use to overclock the CPU.

Buntz Posted April 10, 2007 CID Share Posted April 10, 2007 What are your temp when you push it. Guess it time to play with the video card now. Remember raise it a little bit at a time,then run 3Dmark06 and look for artifacting. Make sure you do not check the start with windows box till you are sure that the video overclock is good,that way if it lock up the computer are you have to do is reboot.
