hi overclocking sifu's I just got my AM2 rig and 1st attempt to overclock. Is my bios settings o.k?
My rig : AM2 4000+ , Biostar TA690, 1GB Patriot PC6400 -
Stock HSF
Cpu temp idle @39C
Prime95 = so far tested 6 hours o.k.

CPU-Z
core speed =2603
multiplier =10.5
HT Link = 992Mhz
Cpu Vol = 1.312

Memory =Patriot PC6400
Freq = 434Mhz
timing 5-5-5-16-19-2T

This is my 2nd attempt to overclock my AM2 rig which i got 2 weeks ago. Since I'm new to OC , this is my current setup. Using stock hsf idle between 39~41 C and prime95 ran 12 hours no error.

forgot to mention bout my rig (mobo = Biostar TA690, =RAM Patriot PC6400 but tried @940Mhz o.k) , PSU=cooler master 430W. Might try pushing it higher but want to stress the cpu more to check stability . One thing was after 2500Mhz had to reduce Ram speed from DDR800 to DDR533 or else could not boot. Tried increasing DDR volt but unable to post. Last time had weird problem when cpu multi was at 10.5x .

Tested my 4000+ stable until 2900 Mhz with stock Hsf.. 3000Mhz is unstable despite upping the vcore... dunno is it due to not burn-in enuf ???? Will experiment with some dram settings....

Thks for the tips...since i'm using Patriot I'll ry this value. Tomorrow I will try to push it to 3G by changing the trfc... so far 2.9G is the most stable it can go .(already tried vdimm & vcore increase can boot but in XP crash. )
