Christian Ney Posted November 6, 2011 Posted November 6, 2011 (edited) 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 ? Edited November 7, 2011 by Christian Ney Quote
Christian Ney Posted November 6, 2011 Author Posted November 6, 2011 Dunno how memory divider works, At 200 fsb, seems to be 667 and 800 Mhz in BIOS, and CPU-Z show CPU/7 (315 MHz) and CPU/6 (368 MHz) Quote
Crew Turrican Posted November 6, 2011 Crew Posted November 6, 2011 800mhz is 1:1 when you are at 200 fsb. Quote
Christian Ney Posted November 6, 2011 Author Posted November 6, 2011 (edited) 800mhz is 1:1 when you are at 200 fsb. 1:1, this means memory working at 200 MHz ? Edited November 7, 2011 by Christian Ney Quote
Christian Ney Posted November 7, 2011 Author Posted November 7, 2011 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 Quote
Crew Turrican Posted November 7, 2011 Crew Posted November 7, 2011 lol, of course those cpus have coldbugs which limit your max. htt. the colder the less htt you can achive. it's a common issue on a64 cpus. Quote
