    Overclocking Athlon II x3 425, help with temps etc.

    I am going to over clocked my Athlon II X3 425. Is running very well right at present, but required to make sure with the experts here if there is something I be supposed to be tweaking for superior presentation (voltage, memory, etc), or if you guys believe I be able to get a bit additional out of the CPU. Here is my Athlon II X3 435, make a note of that it is a 435 which comes 200mhz quicker stock than the 425, but it be supposed to still give you a superior idea.

    If you are working on OCCT. You have to stock for your CPU is 2.7 GHz; you are presently working it at 2.96 GHz. You have to see that the Core temp hit the highest point at 46 degrees. Not certain how much wiggle room that gives you to bump the FSB (multiplier maxes out at x13.5), but you have an attractive superior understanding on how to bump the CPU up, and where you be supposed to be temp wise. When it comes to the HT Link and memory regularity stuff although, that is where you have no clue where you be supposed to be aiming your sights for, and whether or not excavation is too low/high.

    For a solitary video card you would have to turn the HT Link down to 1400 in anticipation of you have OC'ed the CPU and have it steady. In view of the fact that you are using the orientation clock for OC'ing you be supposed to set the memory in your sig to DDR3-1066 (533 MHz). If you get to 250x13.5 that determine to put the memory back close to its DDR3-1333 rating. You have to set the RAM timings and voltage for DDR3-1333 as well. Previously you go in excess of 3.4 GHz or so you might have to scale it back again although G.Skill, particularly 2x1 Gb sticks, be supposed to OC past that with a diminutive voltage to put the boot in.

    If you tried working it at 250x13.5, but 2 mins into OCCT, it stopped and BSOD together times you tried it. You doubt it was due to overheating, for the reason that it had not had sufficient time to reach a high adequate temperature. Too low of voltage perhaps (it was at regarding 1.4v). Dropped it down to 245x13.5 and it ran OCCT extremely well, peaking at regarding 52 degrees. The 60 MHz less on the CPU is not that big of a deal to you. The ram is at present at 1305, as an alternative of 1333 although. Not certain if that is going to be that big of a presentation decrease, but the next step up would be 1633 without messing with the FSB freq. Does everything else look extremely well although. Not certain if the NB is at the appropriate freq (1963). And the entire your voltages are set to auto on your Motherboard with the exception of your CPU, which is set to 1.6v presently.

    A group of boards tend to have a diminutive bit of vDrop. That is the (BIOS) - (windows authentic) voltage, which in your case is 0.035v - a diminutive high but not. Serious stay was your BIOS setting still 1.6v. If so that IS serious, meaning you are almost certainly pushing the voltage limits of your board. The cpuNB speed looks superior and as long as you maintain that multiplier the speed determines to regulate upward as you increase HTRef (the reference clock). Your RAM speed looks superior too - are the timings right. The SPD tab determines to demonstrate the dissimilar timings and voltage for your RAM at a variety of speeds.

    In view of the fact that your load core temp is still lower than 55°C you be able to push the vCore a diminutive additional and almost certainly get a diminutive additional out of the CPU. Immediately take the smallest vCore step up that you be able to in BIOS, verify the temp, and then go back to increasing the HTRef like you have been doing. If you are going to discontinue here you be able to bump your HT link up to 7-8X and you be supposed to work OCCT for at least 8 hours to create certain everything determine to stay working excellent.

    For this you have to maintain it under 65C, if possible 60C and you determine to be extremely well. Ideally you desire it to idle below 35C and approximately 50C under a load, but if you doubt that determine to occur with a stock cooler. These chips work attractive cool so you be supposed to not have difficulty. You would individually try to unlock first presently to observe what happens. Unlocking put out of action the sensors for temps although. (At stock it does not matter you sensors are put out of action at 3.7ghz. it works cool anyway).
