Any Gigabyte user can help this chap? Come on... be supportive.

p/s: I would ignore Gigabyte in the first place if I want to overclock

To find maximum CPU PSB (processor speed), just bump the DRAM Speed to the lowest (DDR 400 in DFI BIOS), and start increasing the CPU Clock little by little. For me, I would jump straight to 250MHz, just to save some time...lol!

If not stable, increase the CPU Voltage

Just make sure the Hypertransport bus speed does not go far from 1000MHz

HTT = (cpu clock) x (cpu-nb bus ratio)

And by the way, to calculate the divider, don't forget to refer to the table in the first page ya!

i just bought my AM2 new ring pc..
AM2 3600+ with AMD original hsf
Biostar TF550
Coloful 7600GS 500/1500 256mb ddr3 1.1ns
512mb ddr2 667 <---temperary use only...

i just start my pc , normal use , but use Biostar provide the software FanConditioner software to check found out temperature 32C....havent do any overclock ...
but when i use Core Temp Beta 0.9 version check
Core 1 = 48-49C
Core 2 = 41C
why like this der..got anyproblem?
izzit got any problem?

It's normal. Either motherboard sensor or the software is not accurate. It happens in most mobo.

then if i overclock , want to check temp , is follow which 1?
Coretemp or Biostar mobo software = FanConditioner software? follow which 1?

Just stick with the core temp.
Or u can try update to latest bios which corected temperature sensor issue.

Its normal to have temperature around 46c for each core when at full load.

33c is seem too good to me.
For my case, idle with stock heatsink would give me 39/40

so if i play oc and with Full loading ...
i scare my temp = 58c ...
coz now normal use temp already = 48c.....wtf...

normally core less heat than cpu..

why not try speedfan?
http://www.almico.com/speedfan.php

i can hardly oc using gigabyte m55sli s4 board..
in bios the max i can set is fsb 207 multiplier x9
bt the weird thing is can oc till 240 using its utility..

as long u din raise your vcore too much while overclocking, ur temperature will be around 50c or below 50c.

That's why performance heatsink comes in especially when overclocking.

I'm also using x2 3600+ and tf550 like u.
idle 39/40c, full load 46/47c, Othos priming can reach almost 50c. Btw, I'm only running at 2.2ghz 1.2vcore.

p/s : Please accept that stock heatsink isn't that great, u can't expect miracle from it. Coretemp should give u exact value, don't cheat yourself with the lower temperature from those monitoring software unless you feel better with it.

u using amd or what?

this is mine oc.. sometimes achieve 62C while stress load...
but during gaming the temp more less.. around 57C.. that's why stick at this clock..

@fenixtx
what htt mul u put? better set it 4 or 3

then wat ram u r using?
do u have flash ur bios to the latest version?
coz the latest version is fix the bugs of temp

with whatever bios, the temperature u get from coretemp will be the same....

temperature bugs only will give difference reading on those utility like speedfan, etc.

Spec:
CPU: X2 3600+ stock heatsink
Mobo: Biostar TForce4 U
RAM: Corsair VS 1GHz DDR2, CL5, Single + Antec copper RAMSink
GPU: Biostar 7300GT

I've done mild OCing on this set-up. I manage to stable overall system OC @ 2.2GHz;
(200x10, 4xHTT mul, 4,4,4,12 1T Ram timing).

I'm able to OC to 2.4GHz but it's not stable for overall system. I'm not very surprise though, because my PSU is ICute cap ayam 450W (RM80-90 retail price at the moment). I can't even OC my GC aggresively (20+ for core, 20+ for memory).

My PSU is scavange from my last PC (still operating), an AMD XP 1700+. I knew from reading LYN that overclocking needs beefy PSU. However, I just tried current PSU as i'm now gathering information on PSUs. Right now, I just run my system under normal mode with no OCing. (Better safe than sorry!).

As for the Motherboard, I stick to TForce4U because it has 2 ide, about the same Bios with Tforce550 and a little cheaper. I appreciate the advice to go for DFI NF Ultra II, but the price delta is quite high for me.

So far I can't comment much on the mobo and the RAM as PSU has limit the OCing potential. I will comment later when I change to better PSU. Any suggestion on PSU guys?

Screenshot can be seen HERE

last time i use chapalang psu also can oc high..

my pc is am2 3600+ ,biostar tf550 and corsair 512mb ddr2 667x 2
can my ram 667 oc to 800? but my ram is value ram only.
and my processor easy hit how many ? 2.5G ?

Only u urself can tell the answer. O/c is never guaranteed. If u r lucky, with some skills, u can achieve good speed. If u r unlucky, even with great skills..u might only hit OK speed...it depends.

About the RAM, maybe u should check what chip it has by reading (or take a close up pic) of the code written on it. The google etc....see what other people's result r like. From there, u o/c....

Argee

if can hit DDR2-800 with 100% , y the Corsair not set to be defualt DDR2-800 sales ,n can do higher price...

even u using the same model,but not mean all for it model ability is same...

got the good,also got the bad...if not got any review to know about the rev...

juz can say depend user lucky can get the best performance or not...

add me in da list

3600 X2 Windsor F2 | GIGABYTE GA-M55SLI-S4 | Corsair DDR2-667 | stock AMD cooler

sory dude ... no option in ur m/b that allow you to change fsb, memory timing etc.

you have to use the software given in the cd

any expert can give me some tips to how to do my first overclock ?
whether want to try multiple first or increase FSB first?
and wat is HT frequency?
