i`ve bought this mobo 3 months already and still can`t overclock! i`m a noob here.  so what bothering me till today is the bios setting. whenever i change the cpu ratio, and htlink, it seems that it don`t change at all (not execute the changes when reboot). then i flash bios to the latest version (F8), i thought all the problems solved. but just now i`ve tried to change the settings. cpu ratio and cpu speed seems going fine but now the problem is htlink. i changed htlink settings from auto to 3x and then reboot.. check with cpuz in winxp and nothings happen. it still shows the default. should it be 1000MHz or something when in default settings rite? correct me if i`m wrong. then what is the problem exactly? thanks.. SOLUTION : flash your bios to the lastest (F10) version. get it from hereThis post has been edited by serez: May 28 2007, 05:32 PM |

I having the same mobo with u and having the same problem as you. I already feedback to Giga Techical Support. Hope they will fix the htlink multi soon. Now running at 2240 (224x10) and htlink multi i use ntune to set. This is the only way i can do  And i found out that using ntune to oc will make ur pci fre goes up as well  |

Press Ctrl + F1 in the bios menu to unlock additional features like memory timings etc. I've tried M55S-S3 which i believed should be more or less the same with SLI-S4.... |

QUOTE(atleeyoung @ Jan 8 2007, 05:54 PM) what's wrong with the increasing PCI_fre? If it increases too much much all your pci devices will stop working, eg-LAN, audio, firewire, ect. Back in early socket A days this was a major pain in the @SS  as the southbridge was also connected by the PCI bus-basically EVERYTHING stops working (even video, as the AGP clock was tied to the PCI clock) except for processor and memory. Now A64 is on Hypertransport bus so only the PCI devices will go nuts; at least your hdd should still work as the chipset will still function. Unlike processor, memory and graphics overclock there are NO options to stabilise a PCI overclock, and some devices like LAN and firewire are damn sensitive to the PCI clock-sometimes even 1MHz increase also go nuts already. |

but if i press F1 to continue,
the freq will return to the original setting
letsay i set it to 230 x 10 multiplier it will return to 200 x 10.
is it something to do with my psu or cpu fan ?
im using the normal AMD stock fan.
and 480w cap ayam brand psu
or izzit just ive reached the mobo's limit ?

That is weird, F1 should not make your frequency default First, if u wan to oc, u better get a good psu. And, gigabyte is not a supreme overclock board for amd -pWs- |

hi i have a couple questions well since this is the mobo i own i was hoping you can tell me whats the best settings for my ram
my ram is CORSAIR XMS2 2GB (4 x 512MB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel , Cas Latency 5 , Timing 5-5-5-15 , Voltage 1.9V
in bios it only shows volts 0.1 & 0.2

QUOTE(lohwenli @ Jan 27 2007, 02:47 PM) If it increases too much much all your pci devices will stop working, eg-LAN, audio, firewire, ect. Back in early socket A days this was a major pain in the @SS as the southbridge was also connected by the PCI bus-basically EVERYTHING stops working (even video, as the AGP clock was tied to the PCI clock) except for processor and memory. Now A64 is on Hypertransport bus so only the PCI devices will go nuts; at least your hdd should still work as the chipset will still function. Unlike processor, memory and graphics overclock there are NO options to stabilise a PCI overclock, and some devices like LAN and firewire are damn sensitive to the PCI clock-sometimes even 1MHz increase also go nuts already. Could someone please clarify what lohwenli says. Does this mean that a out of spec PCI frequency will only affect PCI devices? Does that mean if I don't use any additional PCI devices, I'm safe to overclock? Meaning that there is no possibility for a corrupted hard drive for example? Thanks in advance. |

Mild oc should not be a problem. You have to flash to latest bios in order for u to adjust the HTLink multiplier. Press Ctrl + F1 to unhide all the hidden setting. For ram timing, you only can set CAS latency if not mistaken. -pWs- |
