sifu guide me plox.

proc - phenom 9550 2.2ghz
mobo - asus M3A78

since my mobo dont have NB and HT multiplier so only can increase bus speed from 200 stock to 230mhz(anything after 240 render pc unbootable) but this also change HT link and NB frequency to 2070.1mhz

it got option to set HT link to 1.8ghz so i set it to that.
i also need to set memory speed to 333 3:5 ratio and and with 230 bus speed, ram frequency become 383.4 or 766.8mhz

then i change memory timing to 4-4-4-8-22-2T

my question = which is better, using stock ram setting with 800mhz speed or this 4-4-4-8-22-2T with 766.8mhz speed?


also plox comment on my setting if got wrong somewhere and correct me where its wrong. my 1st time overclocking so i dont mind any critic, term also dont know right or wrong

option to set HTlink not multiplier the option given is 200mhz,400,600,800,1ghz and so on till 1.8ghz max

by default NB and HTlink frequency is 1804.1mhz

dram frequency 400.9mhz 1:2, 5-5-5-18-24-2t timing
with those setting, do i need to increase voltage anywhere?




on other note, i start to think this board suck and not for overclocking.
can suggest cheap2 good board?

my stable oc. this one without upping any voltage and not change ram timing yet.
i use 4 ram stick, 2 ddr2-400 and 2 ddr2-333 got effect to oc or not?

stock speed 2.2ghz

ooo, i dun know prime95 before, i use occt(dunknow name is right or not) but i will try prime tonight


i wan oc more, but my mobo suck, later got money i will change

YUI FTW!!

this one, M3A78.

m4a785td-v evo look nice, but dont support phenom 1, need ddr3 ram.
