actually it is started from 3.2
unless you are saying a black 5000+ , not 6400+
well.....3.2 is nothing at all.....you will see many ppl hit much more than that very very soon...hehe

suppose can hit 2.8 easily at stock voltage...lower ur ram speed, then push higher...

New PC
X2 3600+@250x9.5(2375MHz)
2x1GB DDR667
BioStar TA-690G(BIOS 605)
I tested 128/256/512 for IGP

Small review for AMD690G with CS v1.6
Small map cs_tank, fy_pool_day, fy_iceworld. "When restart round it will freeze for 1/2", this is no good. You can't counter attack.
After 10sec, the game will be smooth agian. If you manage to survive for that long.
Big map, like de_dust,de_dust2 does suffer this problem. *(If there is alot of fire from both side, yes it will freeze for 1/2 sec, So don't try to be hero" stay away from group ppl.
Smoke bomb, and de_aztech(water part) will suffer same fate, FPS will drop below 30-45fps.

AMD690G
Could be driver problem or it can't take load.

Old PC
nVidia 6200 128MB
XP1700@2000MHz
2x512MB DDR266
does not suffer 1/2sec freeze. small or big map.

Have u tried Warcraft 3 FT on it? Is is able to run at max eye candy?

i wonder why is AM2 overclocking thread turning to be onboard graphics discussion...

i'm weird too..

hahaha....
u got a point there....

btw... im planning to change my board... any nice board to recommend? somewhere around 3-450 budget. My current board only restricts me to 1.55vcore.. and my temps are pretty cool @ 1.55 too. i thought that it might be the DTS for inaccurate temps, but after using an external sensor.. my temps are still great.. 1.55v iddle @ 32c while loads up 45-50c.

Go for DFI Infinity UltraII M2. got new batch shipped to malaysia recently....

the TA690G AM2 motherboard does not support CPU clock multiplier adjustments. [Link]

the AMD Athlon64 5000+'s CPU clock multiplier was first set to 8x, the Corsair Twin2X2048-6400C3 memory set to run in DDR2-533 MHz mode. These settings ensure neither the processor nor memory will limit the motherboard. [Link]

i read these articles at PCSTAT.com, can any 690G users and 7050 users clarify tis?

if a CPU multiplier cannot b change, izzit meaning that thats a limitation for overclocking???

ram speed already at 400MHz.. if i push up another 5Mhz unable to boot already.. maybe i shd increase ram voltage? which should i use, 2T or 1T? HTT at 4x..

btw, any 7050 users can clarify with me which bios is the best to use for oc?

how come too low meh?? maybe u can try to add more Vdimm (ram voltage) a bit higher...but make sure anything above 2.2v need better cooling solution...

that's old stock bios.. u can find them on later bios.. some old bios also place at different location..

@waifaq

last night, i make decision to buy Biostar TA7050 & i think it does not have any problem with multiplier adjustment, right?
i got that TA690G is more available for Home theater system.
cannot go high for Overclocking..

so......... how many AMD boards support multi-change nowadays?

TF7050 user here.... To be frank to u..lately i gonna change my mobo to TA690G
TA690G is not a good overclocker? hmmm.... no comment for now but i will show u something later on

@dblooi
show something bro.. i'm using TA690g.. i think it is .... wait for dblooi..

No problem...i need an insane mobo for competition and i think it is suitable one.
Tired with TF7050...it lacks of many things... Cannot use clockgen in windows..
max vdimm 2.44v only... not enough for extreme overclocking at all.
TA690G can change multiplier , i'm certainly sure about that though i haven't try it b4

What's the definition of 'good oc mobo'?
Can the super pi result below shows that TA690G is a good oc mobo?
CPU 3.25G
RAM 1082Mhz 4-4-4-5-2T


Attached thumbnail(s)

Cant wait for you to change to TA690G, perhaps you can help me with the new bios R69AM913 and give some tips to o'c ram kaw kaw.
