AMD wont overclock....

[aCiD_kiLLa]

I have unclocked my AMD with the pencil and i still cant use the mulitplyer higher than 7.5!!!!
The highest i can run my 1gig at is 1095mhz and then it crashes when i play CS??
I have done everything i need to havent i?
I think it could be my PSU plz could someone back me up on this!


I am using
7.5
133/33
everthing works fine! at 1gig

I changed to
146/34
7.5
this brought my CPU clock to 1095 worked in windows fine but crashed when playing games.



:eek:

I'm gonna guess here that since it crashes when you've upped the FSB that your memory is letting you down.

Also, you might wanna try upping your voltages a tad, esp core and memory.

And now that I look again at your sig you really need a better PSU if you're planning to o/c this baby.......

when i tryed turning the voltage up it wont boot as well?

[Violator]

Are you able to up the FSB in smaller increments?, like try 138.

[aCiD_kiLLa]

how will that help coz i cant change the multiplyer from 7.5 and i have tryed 146/34

OK if you're saying the multiplier physically won't change from 7.5 then your chip is still locked m8. Check the L1 bridges are connected properly.

I was just telling someone else about this last night. I had to do mine several times, the last time I purchased a set of "helping-hands" from the Shack, it's pretty much a couple of magnifying glasses on a stand that will hold ther chip for ya, redo your bridges and you'll be ok.. maybe a different pencil?

Sounds like the pencil trick is failing you;). Can you get a hold of something better to connect the L1 bridges?
