yea bring up the NB by .1 and if that doesnt work nudge it a little more, just make sure to watch your temps.

what other voltages can you change?

i would try bumping HT link Voltage and NB and i think you can bring your processor higher and youll be able to bring down the Vcore cuz 1.6 is kinda high.

whats your fsb?

heres a cpu-z screenie maybe it can help you, i would go higher but my temps are too high 50-54 load so ima wait till i get water cooling to push farther



no problem helping you out i like to help other with overclocking its fun

i can hit 3.0 just by bringing up my multi but once i hit 3.2 i have to bring it up to 1.47
my fsb is 200

and acc is at +2 per core for 3.2

going to rebot and raise ht and nb up

alright sweet let me know how it goes for ya just remember the temps!
Click to expand...

my temps never go over 40 even at 1.65v:)
i am on water

ok just brought them up

how much nb and ht voltage is safe?

It seems to be more stable at 3.3 with the NB & HT bumps going to try it at 3.4 after a 3d mark06 run

Problem solved... what do you know... BAD SECTORS.

I tought it was weird because Ubuntu worked fine but Windows wouldn't. But nothing wierd when HDD's going to crap itself...

God damn it seems that u cant get a decent HDD anymore these days. Add a Seagate's announcement about dropping the warranty from 5 years to 3... SDD drives should come fast, hopefully their prices will drop. This WD was bought in october at the same time as my rig.

I have almost the same shit on both rigs... both have 320GB, older is IDE, though. Of course the few games are not installed to this old bad boy. Today I tested my old sempron with wPrime 32M, what you know, went for first place in 3000+ Semprons. And this is my 24/7 setup :toast:

No why?

does that help?

iam also using vista 64bit and you are using 32

just tried amd fusion on Expert Mode and my temps never went over 30 @ 3.2ghz at 1.4v and it gave me an extra 700 points on 3d mark06

I made my own profile for Fusion... For benching and gaming I put x on everything on the list but not AMD OverDrive (CPU) and ATI Catalyst Auto-Tune (GPU).

Though there is a possibility to OC your GPU to maximum benchable and then enable the auto-tune and try gaming. I am not sure if it will decrease GPU OC if the clocks are not gaming stable... But you should try it.

When benching, to be 100% sure there is no crap running on background, I quit any program I know that is not mandatory and only then put Fusion to action.

Edit: And AMD Boost (aka CPU Tweak) doesn't increase load temps. Only idle. But on extremely high clocks it can and will decrease stability. Some say it can even increase stability. Well that depends on the chip.

You have it +2? Try +4 to Core 03

my mobo

is there a bios option for my mobo for ACC or is it just in Overdrive?
Click to expand...

i would think that there is an option in the BIOS. try looking under M.I.B or maybe CPU configuration? i am not sure how the gigabyte boards are setup.I don't have a gigabyte board with a 790GX chipset only a Biostar board with it. my gigabyte is a Nforce 4 :roll:
