I think some of u might want to see this.


asked a friend who went by Mines and he snapped me this picture.

oledi see it by myself last month when follow my brother bought LCD there.. until now still dun have anyone buy it..

Fellow am2 brothers! hehe

any good ocing board to recommend? must b able to go until at least 2.2/2.3v vdimmlar...thinking of biostar tforce 570u lar..any other good ocing boards out there especially gigabyte boards? and any idea how much the biostar tforce 590 sli is? thanks so much guys..appreciate it!

Just wanna make sure something, is my OC method correct? Using AMD 3000+, Gigabyte S2G and 667 1GB RAM. Noob in this OC stuff

Here is what I do at BIOS:
1. HT set to x4 = 800MHz
2. Set DDR 667 to 400 -> ratio 1:1
3. Multiplier x9
4. Increase core speed by 10MHz maybe
5. Load windows
6. Check stability with OCCT, cpuz and also CBId (didn't support vista )

I manage to do until 256x9 = 2304MHz. Stable and didn't really have the guts to do further since I'm only using stock HSF.

A big NO to Gigabyte

What mobo are you using? Check your temperature using core temp if you wan to overclock
I think there is no 1:1 for AMD. Correct me if i am wrong...

AMD is using memory divider. Refer to the 1st page.

cpuz for checking stability?....

not stability lorr, check the current condition .. just put it in one line, jimat space .. same thing like CBId

For overclocking if possible avoid anything else except:
- DFI
- BIOSTAR
- ABIT
- ASUS

get dfi for higher vdimm support..biostar only 2.2v max, and 2.4v max for rev 5.x..

avoid anything else except those 4? what about Gigabyte? I don't have a clue why

Gigabyte have less overclock options.
Gigabyte is good but not for amd (Compare with AM2 and C2D)

High end MSI is also good, but not those midrange or low ends.

kalakatu: how do we know which version of the biostar? is there any indication on the box? actually i prefer the Tforce series bios than the DFI Infinity bios because TForce actually has more option for memory setting compare to Infinity. But Infinity provides up to 2.5V

Hello, AM2 user here...

Biostar Tforce 550 is it ok for OC? How does V would affect OC? What's the max OC for 3000+ and 3800+? How do we know we've reached their limit? How high HT Link can go?

how does V affect oc? don't tell me you still don't know the basics of overclocking.

its on the side of the box..it will say what version it is....i just got mine..biostar tforce 570u...version 5..supports up to 2.4 vdimm....rm310 at czone..i prefer the looks of the biostar to the dfi actually plus its around rm130 cheaper..

post #2064. That's my method of early learning in OC (read it somewhere for Gigabyte S2G). And of course, I want to know more and already done all the readings but some of them can't get into my head and some can't be implemented in my mobo. Just for my knowledge for future use maybe

HELP!

im using a 4 pin power supply for the mobo but the biostars mobo is 8 pin! is that ok? any danger? or is there a converter i can buy? thanks!!

since when this thread change to basic OC n QnA? i think if we look back the thread we can almost find the answer...

come on.. give some great review..
i'm eager to now how 65w or 35w or even 65nm X2 performe...
no one own it?

65w X2 core user here...
erm...quite satisfy wif this proc...
oced to 2.5Ghz oni...didn't reli tested it's ability...
sayang sayang it loL...
