Hi, Here's my spec

AMD Athlon64 3200+ (Stock Cooling)
Gigabyte GA-K8FN-9
Kingston KVR 512Mb x 2 (With Heatspreader and Ram Cooler from AllnGap)
Winfast 7300GS (Stock HSF with Ram Sink)
AcBel Intelligent Power Gold 500W PSU

When i oc wit this mobo, if i left the ht ratio on stock (i think is x4), it only can oc until 210*10=2100Mhz only. Any higher than tat, bios will stuck at the screenshot below, and restart. and its a non-stop loop


when i change the ht ratio to 1x, it can pass the screen above and continue with hdd detection and loading windows...

I see some review about oc-ing an athlon64, they said the ht ratio set to 1 x will let u hav higher clock speed, and doesnt draws back a lot...
but here's a result of a pcmark04. all the graphic tests is worse than stock speed.


See the highlighted one...

Any pros and sifu's hav any idea?

The old thread:
http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/456300

but i can set 5x in bios...

any special setting? can screenshot or bios?

Added on
i tried to use a pair of ocz performance ram. 1:1, still the same.
only 210 can run at 4x.
more than this value, must use 1x.
i tried 250 at 1 x. bootable into windows...

flashed. and its the same...

Just now tried over clock partially in bios.
lets say i oc 210*10=2100Mhz with 4x ht and 1.550v.

den i use gigabyte oc software to change the clock to
240*10=2400Mhz and the same 4x ht and voltage can be adjusted in windows.

still priming, but till now no error at
240*10=2400Mhz 4x ht and 1.6v...

1.6v is a bit high right? temp now is 51C...

Now i got 2 mobo.

GA-K8NF-9 (Rev 1.x)
-AND-
Abit KN8

I wanna oc my AMD Athlon64 X2 3800+ s939. Which one is more suitable for me to oc and which one is more oc-able?

Coz now max out my 3800+ @ 2.7Ghz using 1.5Vcore.

actually 1.6 is not so ok... coz i 2.70GHz @ 1.5Vcore, speedfan showing 60C++
its more when check with core temp...

so i downclock a bit running at 2.67GHz @ 1.42Vcore.. Temp is acceptable on my nitrogon nt06. orthosing at around 50C++ with low fas speed...

Just wanna know if i change mobo to KN8 <-- Not Ultra
dunno can run at lower vcore or not ler???

BTW, is my psu consider good for oc? see my sig...
