hai guys...

i have probs here... i can't find where i can adjust my FSB:DRAM value... current value is 5:6... maybe i can tweak this value to 1:1... here the CPUID..

[attachmentid=636275]

can anybody guide me how to change it... thanks...

with that proc in order to run 1:1 you have to set ur dram speed meaning ur ram speed double to ur fsb in ur bios. I can see now ur running ur fsb at 378mhz so try settin ur ur dram speed to 756 in bios. But why do you wanna run 1:1 in the first place? 1:1 does not always mean better performance. For me 5:6 is better then 1:1

oh.. i see.. so now, mt timing is 5.5.5.15... it is a good timing?? i think i can go for 4.4.4.11.... which one better??

bro try running 5:6 increase ur fsb till 4++ ur timing let loose for now. Me running 430 fsb and 1032mhz 5-5-5-15. Imo if ur running amd timing is a really big deal but not so for c2d. Higher ram speed equals higher performance in my case. After u get the highest fsb and ram speed u can then start tightening ur timings hope this helps

okey bro... thanks a lot... this is my 1st overclock... that's why so noob.. hehe... this is just for fun.. i know i can push more than this... but this mobo not quite stable in high FSB... but i try... what mobo you using now bro cal83??

me using tpower i45 could go higher but my psu not good enough. Me also not that pro but slightly capable lol . Dowload everest, superpi and prime for starters to check stability. Make sure you pump enough vdimm to ur rams for stability. At least to its rated value 2.1-2.2 cause mobo dont usually automatically run at its rated vdimm and speed

if u wan 1:1 ratio, u hav 2 set multiplier to 2.
but u usually do dat it u OC fsb beyond the speed ur RAM can handle.
i c ur ram multiplier is set to 2.4 which bring ur ram speed to 378*2.4=453.6*2
i'll say its kinda waste since ur ram can do @ least 1066. u can set ur ram multiplier to 3.0

EP45-DS3 shud v able 2 OC ~ 500.
if it is not stable, i suspect other stuff lke ram voltage & vcore.

& 1 last thing, next time, use "print screen" button on ur keyboard............................

thanks bro.. but, i have a lot of prob when oc thingy... i dunno where it wrong..

1. i can set my FSB until 378. can't pas even 400...
2. i dunno in this bios where i can find for northbridge voltage... ( see pic )
3. scare to increase too much voltage... hehehe... what can actually happen if too much voltage??

can you guide me bro... soo nooob... thanks a lot...

bro why is your dram voltage still auto? By increasing the fsb it automatically increases the ram speed thus requiring more voltage. Set the dram to 2.1 till stable then only increase or decrease as required

i dun think u need 2 touch the nb voltage yet. 378 is still actually low fsb.
can if get pass 378 if set vcore higher?
wen oc, i suggest dat leave the RAM multiplier to 2 first.
after u happy on ur processor speed & fsb, den only OC & tighter the RAM timing.

there is a recommendation from intel wat the vcore range shud b, like q6600 is 0.8 - 1.5
not sure bout e8400, i;m sure u can gogle it or find it @ intel website.

higher vcore means higher temperature, if 2 hot, ur system will restart. dun worry, won't burn on the spot.
100% load temperature after OC is preferable b ~65.

Habis celita .

# xx.xA – FSB 266 MHz;
# xx.xB – FSB 333 MHz;
# xx.xC – FSB 200 MHz;
# xx.xD – FSB 400 MHz

1:1 choose 2.00B

thanks guys for the guide... i can oc my e8400 to 3.6Ghz at timing 4.4.4.11 with FSB:DRAM = 1:1... maybe this proc can go any further clock... i tried oc to 4.0Ghz but when i tun Intel burn test, it not pass & so stable...

if you guys have tried until 4.0Ghz, or best timing RAM rate, can you all share with me how to do... i appreciate it...

thanks again..

4.0 u'll need 2 up vcore.

RAM timing also depends on ur RAM speed.
slower u can tighter it, if fast, u hav 2 loosen it.

of coz tighter is better, but more speed pays more den tighter timing.

after increase some voltage, i can oc to 3.8Ghz... i think this is the limit bcoz maybe this mobo can't reach 4.0Ghz... and the temp also on load can reach 72c with Intel burn test... and with ram timing 4.4.4.12.... i really satisfy with this value..

well, thanks guys... solute...
