thank you guys, congratulations to all competitors especially to trut_bar that managed to have awesome efficiency.
Many thanks to msi an hwbot for this kind of competition, I had a lot of fun trying to hit 110 Mhz, I did 109.95 MHz though
Turned out to be a cold issue with Athlon 64 3500+ Orleans, I managed 291 MHz with ''auto'' voltages in BIOS. Single Stage off, warm up, CPU at 60°C I guess.
291 MHz so far.
Many thanks massman for the help
I am using now this motherboard to overclock AM2 CPU.
Setup:
DDR2 memory
Athlon 64 3500+ Orleans (Single Stage (-54C))
Asus M4A79 Deluxe (BIOS 3702 (Latest))
And whatever I do I cannot go over 250 MHz
I tried all bios settings combo, tried different memory modules. No way, 250 MHz is the max I have hit so far.
Seems to be the worst fsb on this board
Something I missed with 790FX/AM2+/Athlon 3500+ overclocking ?
