exactly bro... fx8 will sure push air cooling to its limit even those of high end one...

stable vcore for 4.4ghz is how many v?

for decent 8150 it should be below 1.4v.

FX core can be unlocked or not?

unfortunately no sir... but mite work on a cheap 960t.

1.375 prime stable tested....

lol... not shifu lah bro, i just check in xs oni... just few clicks & reads away.

may i know it was done on which board bro?

so better take the phenom?
can't see much FX improvement..

yup bro, unless ur a die hard amd fans. not much improvement still ok, but thuban/deneb pwns fx clock to clock in most tests.

but still, fx are fun chips to play with... only concern is power draw & one need a mobo with strong pwm.

is asus m5a99x evo a powerful board? any1 unlocked 960t using this board? coz wanna convert to amd soon..hehehe

i'd rate it @ above midrange, performed admirably while not burnin holes in ya wallet. d board is capable of core unlockin but whether d chip can be unlocked is diff story already coz it's chip dependent.

that one is asus crossfire 5 .. not mine... his board...

bulldozer will shine... soon after a good patch out and software to support it...

chip and software need patching....if PD not gooding then I guess AMD is doomed in procs

Noob here.

GA-M55S-S3, AMD 64 X2 4200+, Kingston DDR2 2G.

There plenty of advice on what to do with multipliers and dividers on CPU, HT etc, but on my mobo, there's only the "CPU clock ratio" (x11) - and no other options.

All the other adjustable BIOS options are to do with voltages, ranging from +0.025V to +0.37V.

I've increased the "CPU frequency" to 218Mhz, but any higher it will not post.

What can I look at next?

lower your memory and lower the hypertransport as well... search google read more oc guide

There are no options to lower the memory multiplier or ratio.

So what exactly do you mean by "lower your memory". As I said, there are no other multipliers to change on this mobo BIOS.

These are all the options I have:

cpu frequency mhz: 200 - 500
pcie clock mhz: 100 - 200
cpu clock ratio: 5 - 11
ddr2 voltage control: +0.025V - +0.275 white +0.300V - +0.475V red
chipset/pcie voltage: +0.025V - +0.375V
ht link voltage: +0.025V - +0.375V
cpu ht-link voltage: +0.025V - +0.375V
cpu voltage control: 1.5500V - 0.8000V

No options means your board doesn't support overclocking.....

That's not true.

I have increased the frequency. I also have options related to voltage increases, but you don't know what those things mean.

try pressing ctrl+f1 in the main bios menu, should reveal some hidden things

probably something reach limit already.
what is the ram speed, ddr2 800?
