my Multiplier goes to 35x and I know it will never boot at that high of a number since I cannot get it to boot at 19x, and my fsb only goes as low as 200
I am not using the stock cooler, I have the CoolerMaster v8 heatsink/fan installed on it, it runs alot cooler then stock,
I have an idle temp of 23c and a full load temp with prime95 for 8 hours at 38c with everything set default in bios
with it overclocked using the cpu multiplier at 17.5x and the cpu volt at 1.42 I have it at 3.6GHz with the idle temp at 28c and the full load temp with prime95 at 46c, just thought that since my temps where stillgood I might be able to get a little more out of the cpu, thanks
I am just learning how to overclock my rig and would like anyones input on how to do it properly I have read many guides online and they all say to change different things in bios to different settings but most of them are so confusing I do not understand them, I have got it overclocked some using the cpu multiplier and cpu voltage and it seems stable but I would like to get more out of it if I could, any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thank you
My specs are Amd Phenom II 940 with Asus M4A79 Deluxe mb with a coolermaster v8 if you would like any other information on my rig please just let me know, thank you
I tried to go a little higher and it wont boot past the blue dump screen, I am not sure what settings to change since I am using an online guide and they only tell you to change the core clock muliplier and the voltage..
I finally figured out a little about overclocking it and I got it up to 3.5GHz and my temps after 5 hours of Prime95 are 38c min and 46c max so I guess so far so good on air cool
I am glad someone else spoke up about adding the cores together and that geek squad is wrong in telling people that. looks like I wasnt the one wrong in this post after all, thanks
I never said it did not make sense I simply pointed out the difference in telling someone what a quad core processor is vs 4 separate processors on a motherboard. But then again in your thinking it is just semantics. IMO a walmart security officer probably know as much or more then geek squad does. As I stated previously your not worth the time it takes to debat "semantics" with you when you obviously think your always right
