The spec:

Athlon LE 1620

1Gb DDR2 800 OCZ performance ram Gold edition (single slot) (5 -5 - 5 timings)

Biostar TA690G motherboard

460W Gigabyte PSU


The main focus of my OC is to try and fully utilize the ram. If i need another slot of ram to make it dual channel for more OC then i more than willing to go and buy.


PS: Is there any software to monitor the CPU temp for AMD processors similar the intel's Thermal Analysis Tool ?


I know how to get to the BIOS (Im no noob) !!!!!

What i need now is some sifu's to give some step by step instructions on how to

play with what settings so that can;

1) make sure OC better
2) to maximize the ram (want to try 1:1 ratio)
3) ensure that that the connection to the components (the HT bus speed) is at its best

The aim here is to make sure the rig is running at its best

PS: If encounter running in safe mode how to avoid ? Currently running at 3Ghz without stress testing.

Pardon my rudeness.

Hope that all the sifu's here will help me out to achive good OC.

Thanks all.

Stock heatsink.

Currently @ 3Ghz without stress testing ( a little busy ) .

Hey everyone, I'm back.

It seems that 3Ghz is unstable.

Both super PI and orthos failed.

Super PI could get to 16M but orthos would fail straight away?

Any ideas on which voltage to pump in more?

Would like to get 3Ghz stable.

Thanks.

By how much do i add to vcore?

What about vdimm?

Do i need to add more vdimm?

Can anyone tell me what speeds the ram is currently running?
