-EDITED-
PC SPECS

CPU - FX-60 @ 2.60ghz with Cooler Master Hyper 212 (One Fan) + Arctic Cooling MX-2
RAM - Kingston Value Ram 1gb DDR400 x 3
Motherboard - ASUS A8R32-MVP Deluxe
GPU - Colorful ATI Radeon X1950GT 512mb 256bit
PSU - FSP Epsilon 600w
HDD - 2x Sata 1x PATA
Optical - 2 x DVD-RW 1x CD-ROM
Diskette - 1 x

need suggestions

Goal - to OC the CPU to at least 3.00ghz
as for RAM, dont think much cuz its kingston value ram (C3), nothing much can be done anyways, nak oc pun ape je dapat (but i letak heatsink just for the style)

alot of tweek function, same as my good old A8N32SLI-DLX.
old word here, try and error.

*nice FX-60 you got there.

keros-fire rig i see here
wait i try to read pictars
ok, just trying my best
jumper free:
PEG = PCI-E Graphic, setting i dunno
CPU Overvolt give you more fine control on Vcore
AI Clock Skew is RAM related

CPU config:
MTRR my mobo also has it, didn't notice any different change from continous to discrete
HT linkspeed, what option you got inside?

memory config:
memclock mode put it limit should come out another menu so you can limit your RAM speed ( DDR400(1:1)/333(5:6)/266(2:3)/200(1:2) ) while overclock thru CPU frequency (stock 200MHz)
MCT timing just like the usual CL-TRCD-TRP-TRAS-TRRD-TRC-TRFC thing
MCT extra timing you need to play around
burst length 4 for stability, 8 for performance

ECC config:
just leave it / disable as you don't use RAM with ECC

HT config:
HT linkspeed again? i think you can keep it high as ATi chipset can go very high HT speed from TA690 (AM2 thread)
CPU-NB linkwidth keep it 16bit (16↑ 16↓ thing)

i dunno dude
even when i dont tweak
sometimes when i boot, it'll say "overclocking failed, press f1 to enter setup or f2 to load default values..."

if i tweak one thing, its the same message
what the heck eh?

ever try flashing ur mobo wt diff version of bios? perhaps it might solve d prob... or else RMA....

The bios seems very same with me.But i cannot really know where your OC Configuration are..

Try to up your multi only and see how does that work.

it wont work
i up one thing
lets say the FSB, then the boot up will say overclock failed
ala, whats worse is
even if i dont tweak, sumtimes the bios even said overclock failed
haha
weird huh?

What socket u using?Ic...its Asus,seriously,dont hope Asus good in OC for AMD mobo
Try get Biostar or DFI instead

thats weird...got something wrong with ur bios??u tried flashing bios to latest one, or the older one??
Asus mobo still strong for their socket 939. its just their AM2 mobo not good.
dont simply give wrong statement if u not really sure about it...
and also, i do read at some forums, some of the overclockers prefer asus mobo after hard modded coz it got quite good stability after o-ced..

That is totally wrong, I have no problem overclocking on my M2N-E

@gtoforce

If you get error even when you're not overclocking, check your memory timing

DFI is one hell of overclocking horse
but super hard to tweak here and there cuz minor mistake board wont post and u wont know what mistake u did

biostar - suck
better go for ECS

anyways, i just wanna resuscitate this thread

here's my OC results
still doing it gradually

Methods


n/b: actually i oc it little by little, firstly from stock 2.6ghz to 2.7ghz and did prime (5hours) & Super PI 1m,8m,32m all stable but forgot to take pic until my bro reminded me...haha

Stock



so here's the next step

1) AMD Athlon FX-60 @ 2.870ghz
Fsb - 205
Multiplier - 14

CPU-Z



Super PI


Temps during Super PI (it was the same during & after test)
Using Asus PC Probe


will continue with further
as can be seen from the probe, no increase in vcore or any other voltages are done
thats the virtues of FX series and that i need not tweak the ram cuz
i) its unlocked multiplier, so ram divider no use
ii) my mobo does not allow me to tweak the ram speed...it already starts at 166mhz...haha

later i might need some advice on the HT link speeds (if there's anything wrong)

by the way, since prime95 skarang sudah baru, which is the best test
small fft, in place fft or blend?
i mean i wanna save time...haha
and that everywhere i ask, they said super PI is better than Prime cuz Super PI tests all system with maximum stress while Prime is more towards CPU and focus is for long hours use...

what do u think?

Try push more to at least 3.0.

AMDAthlon...939 system not as easy to OC as AM2....
this is FX 60 a superb proc at its time....

why not try update ur bios to the latest one or the one that say "FX support"

suda
haha
kao tao tak latest bios update is august 2007
ahahaha
yang paling baru ade tapi asus nyer web cam tongong sket
but since now im still fine testing it at 2.94 ghz, so takyah update
plus i got a better cooler
hehehe

2) AMD Athlon FX-60 @ 2.940ghz

CPU-Z


Temperature during Super PI


Super PI


so far stable
played rainbox six vegas 2 for 30mins at max, universe at war & world in conflict
no hang reboot bsod
will try 3.0ghz after this

3.0 so far tak stable under super PI but can still play game
tapi tanak ambik risk
haha

Maybe 3.0 u need to increase VCore abit maybe to 1.45V?

max vcore is 1.400 in the bios
but there's an option for vcore overvoltage to be enabled (option between +100mv or +200mv)
maybe i try
haha
wanna prime this first

thats pretty low max vcore AFAIK s939 generation procs needed volts. My old manchester 3800+ needed 1.45v to reach 2.7ghz. Toledo core should be similar I guess, but yours surely better. Why havent tried going for orthos stability yet? Sigh.....FX-60, used to be my dream proc once upon a time.

Haha if it cannot be your dream proc.Wait AMD Phenom FX then
