PC2-5300 (333MHz)

hmm,
when base clock = 218mhz
core clock = 2398mhz
ht link speed = 1090mhz
dram clock = 342.6mhz

maybe you can play with voltage setting,
but with caution la.
can play with ram timing?

Caution, I know

I prefer answers like these rather than useless replies like "your board doesn't support overclocking".

If I don't have much choice in overclocking, I will look at upgrading just the CPU to Phenom II x2. I don't need multiple cores, but I want the single-threaded application I'm running to have the highest speed possible.

The next step is upgrading the board, but let's see what I can do for now.

haha, calm down bro.
the board have limited option in overclocking,
means not overclocking friendly.

Phenom II X2 black edition with unlocked cpu multiplier probably a suitable cpu for you now.
just use cpu multiplier to overclock and play with cpu voltage.

but check the mainboard cpu support list before you upgrade.

woohooo! Now I get a few more options...

Let me have a look first - what am I looking at?

normal for giga boards to "hide" some options

it's d matter of efforts mate. i wont go to d extend of labellin reply to my inquiry as useless. at least he made an effort to reply.

w/o ram divider options there's really nothing much to play unless u have a chip w/ unlocked multipliers. with a locked chip u only left with 1 option which is to increase htt if u were to oc.

look for M.I.T option if u managed to unlock d option by pressing ctrl + f1.

Set Memory Clock - Manual
Memory Clock - DDR 667
CKE Power Down Mode - Disable
DDRII Timing Items - Auto/Manual

--> This 5x is not the multipler I need to decrease? Shows 1x 2x 3x 4x 5x

no, change the memory clock should have options like 667, 400 etc

Need advise. Sud I get a fx4100 now? Or wait for better bulldozer version? Or juz get 960t?

haha, got option already.
try to play with memory clock and k8 - sb ht speed.

I managed to increase core speed to 226Mhz, with the following:

- 533, it failed on post
- 400, posted but Windows7 blue-screened
- 400, increased core voltage to 1.4, booted fine, but benchmarked on SuperPI slower.

Thanks for your help, any other ideas you have just let me now.

lower this > Memory Clock - DDR 667

have a look here so u'll have some idea bout how cpu multipliers can affect ddr2 frequencies on am2.



performance & worthiness wise i'd say 960t, but if u doesn't mind d slightly inferior clock to clock (vs deneb), fx could be a fun chip to play with.

Before dafreak told me about the ctrl-f1, I can't even see the Memory Clock option.

Now that I can see it and lower it and at the same time managed to increase the base frequencywith CPU-Z and Easytune5 showing the increases, Unfortunately my benchmarks are running slower. This includes Super-PI, and the software that I'm running which is really the reason for this exercise.

I'll keep experimenting and see what I can find, now that I have a few more options to play with

is asrock mobo a good choice ? i was looking for either Asrock 990Fx Extreme 4 or Asus m5a990x evo.

in term of OC which 1 is better? and i dont need many pci-e slot.

I'd say to me i'd go for ASUS M5A99X Evo because it has a 6+2 phase configuration, IIANM Asrock 990FX only uses 4+1 phase... More phase is better for oc... just my 2 cents ah...

d master has spoken...

i'd highly recommend 99x evo too... great ram oc mileage, decently priced & nice build quality.

btw, happy birthday to bro cyberloner...
