take 1 Venice 3000+, Put it in a DFi nF4 Ultra
-change the CPU frequency to 250MHZ
-CPU multiplier is still 9X
-Ht Multiplier changed to 3X for stability

now, according to that, I should get a 2250MHz CPU, but when I check with CPU-z, this is the result

I've updated the bios, changed the timing for the ram, disable Quiet and Cool, still nothing....

can anybody help me with this?

Kingston, and I've already used the 6:5 ratio on the ram using DFi's overclocking guide so that if it maxxed out on 200MHz, i still can use it. It's the same RAM that I used to get 2.5GHZ on my fren's AMD 3200+

I need to screenshot my bios, because the last time I checked, the bios is reporting 2250Mhz, the true overclocked speed. Time to change the mobo I presume T.T cry.gif

@kucingfight - the same, it still says 1.8GHZ, the funny thing is I'm wondering where the hell that 1Mhz in the 201MHz is coming from....

@e-jump - been there, done that.

@vey99 - This is a clean install of windows. And only the basic is installed. Meaning just the drivers and a few software

It's there even at the default speed. That's why I think it's teh mobo's problem.. not to mention my Proc seems to be underheating (eg: 25~35C instead of 40ish)

i've updated the Bios 3 times, actually, and always nothing happen. At least the latest BIOS shows some change in the speed during the POST. the first (default) BIOS wouldn't let me OC at all without having to clear the CMOS

It's manually adjustable, and I don't think it has an auto option. thus i doubt it's a factor
