try to find the menu in ur bios

guys, can help somthg in this?



i jus wan to kno, can i oc my ram?
the divider is 4:5 (actually i'm not understand what does it mean...)

now i dunno my ram is 2.5-3-3-8 or 2.5-4-4-8. i got 3 sticks of ram, 256+512+256, all are corsair.


since the FSB is 167, the divider is 4:5, then 167*(4/5)=133.6, 133.6*2(since it is DDR), equals to 267.2, is that mean i gona change my DRAM frequency to DDR266?

correct me if i'm wrong!(i know i must be wrong)...

The 4:5 means for 166FSB you set on the setting,quad 166 will the 668FSB on the CPU-Z. Where your memory you will get 208MHz from this equation (166*5/4).Get what i mean?

wah!!ur temp on stock on HSF also so nice..impressive!!

mine on TT BT @ 3.4ghz also 36C nia lowest

Still the RAM QUestion here...
Please c here

1)From the pic above, my RAM frequency 208.8, times 2 is 417 which is closer to 400 coz my RAM is DDR400. So can it be say i OC on a correct way for my RAM?

2)If i keep on OC my proc and make the fsb to 200, then the RAM frequency ll becom 250, times 2 ll becom 500. Since my RAM just DDR400, so if I make to 500, my mobo can support it? Performences ll better or weaker?

3)Can I change the divider 4:5 to other?

Thanks!

Once you o/c even 1FSB,then is consider doing o/c already on cpu + RAM.If you wish to increase your FSB to 200 then you should try to o/c it to 200FSB then only know whether your system can support or not.No one can tell you the exact anwer here.This depends much on your system setup + hardware used.

I understand this 1.
But still on the question, can i change the divider?

Yes you can change the divider as provided from your mobo's bios.

my cpu is p4 2.67ghz....how much ghz is the best did i need to oc?

P4 2.67GHz is 533 FSB quad pump.O/cing wise is dependent on your hardware.Maybe you can share out your spec here.We can help you...

p4 2.67
1gb ddr2 ram
intel d945plrn mobo
ati x300 256mb
80gb pata hdd
dvd combo

Intel 945 mobo, i not sure whether it can be overclock or not.Do you see and options to change the FSB in bios mode?If yes then you may overclock.

But normaly intel board doesn't provide oc settings in the BIOS. If really cannot oc in bios, try clockgen....hehe just my 2 cents

@RokXIII
refer to your mobo menual, the setting for devider should be available. If you able to set it to 1:1, your proc can perform better than mine. C0 steping i think same as mine. hehe. i check tonight

Thank ur info bro, i gona check it out later, wish it reli can change divider as i jus find inside the bios, nothing can do with the divider, or mayb i dont kno which 1 is use to change it.

Normally hte Intel doesn't support o/c but the new type mobo like the 975X does support o/cing.

Which is it better?

4:5 with 168fsb:208ram loose timing (i doubt my ram can run at this speed)
1:1 with 168fsb:168ram tight timing (currently running)

i will try play around tonight.

is it? i didn't know that. I just know all type of mobo from Intel are not support oc.



@RokXIII
mine stepping same as yours, my max oc is up to 3.2+GHz but not stable.

If you go to check the core 2 duo then you can see ppl using Intel 975X mobo to o/c. Well if can run on 1:1 at loose timing.Since Intel platform prefer loose timing than tight timing.

you mean loose timing perform better for Intel? like 2.5-x-x-x?

Yes,like the timing of 2.5-4-4-8 or 3.0-4-4-8, The high performance RAM can do at 2-x-x-x

i try and see the different. Thanks for the info.
