hougtimo Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 Hi,I have read of several attempts of overclocking an athlon64 3200+ to speeds of up to 2.6Ghz (original clock speed is 2ghz). I can hardly get 100MHz extra out of mine before it gets unstable and won't log me in to windows. I have very good air cooling, the processor never ever exceeds 20'C, even under full load for a long time. Does anyone know why it isnt oc'ing very far?ThanksHougTimo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spazmire11 Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 there could be many reasons:A. your chip does not oc as well as others, no two chips oc the same.B. your not giving it enough voltage to oc any better.C. your ram cant take its oc and needs a ratio put on it.D. you are raising the htt above 1000mhz.E. your powersupply is bad and cant take the extra load of the oc.F. anything!

hougtimo Posted April 29, 2006 Author Share Posted April 29, 2006 I have had success!! I put a ratio to the ram, and I have now managed to get it about the 2.4GHz mark I will keep trying to see if it will go any higher! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripken204 Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 set a huge divider on the ram for now, so that you can rule out your ram as being the problem, just concentrate on the cpu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hougtimo Posted May 1, 2006 Author Share Posted May 1, 2006 After a couple of days of fiddling, I have had even more success It seems the problem was me having 'cool 'n' quiet' technology enabled - disabled that and I'm ad 2550Mhz, and it looks like its gonna go further I will post my configuration when I have got it to max Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hougtimo Posted May 1, 2006 Author Share Posted May 1, 2006 Right it wont go over 2550MHz and stil be stable - but im happy with a 550MHz increase Now I have the cpu core voltage set to 1.55v - is this too high? Will I damage something? The temps are 41'C idle and 52'C underload (which are still both about 10'C under my mum's 64 3200+ which is on stock cooling) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
