Hi
I recently upgraded my rig and want some help in overclocking..here are the specs
AMD Phenom x4 965 (Black Edition)
MSI 790GX-G65
Cooler Master Hyper 212+
G.Skill 2x2GB (1600Mhz RAM) timings 9-9-9-24 @1.5-1.6V
MSI HD 4870 (512)
Cooler Master Extreme Power 600
lots of case fans
CM 690
1TB + 500 GB HDD
Question1 :- I tried overclocking using AMD overdrive without increasing the Voltage and i was successfully able to run my CPU on 3.88 GHZ (core at 210MHZ and Multiplier at 18.5)...When i try making the value of core at 214 or multiplier at 19, system reboots during the stress test but the temp doesnt go beyond 47 C.....If i want to reach a little higher limit, then which Voltage parameter to change and by what value..At 3.86 GHz CPU idles at arnd 35 C
Question 2 :- When i try increasing FSB using the OC button provided in the MOBO, even if i try increasing it at first level that is 10% then also it says OC switch failed..I believe i have got a pretty decent configuation thats why i am wondering why it isnt working...am i doing something wrong?? please advice.
Question 3 :- I have heard that this board by default has RAM speed to run at 1333 MHZ and i will have to manually enter the timing and voltage values in Bios to run it properly and at 1600 MHz but i am kinda newbie in this...so can you please advice how to enter value of ram and where to enter it..
( I am running Windows XP 32 Bit)
Any sort of help would be greatly appreciated...
