Newbie Need Help !!!

[norman]

I try to overclock the CPU but i don't know why the
system Bus was so high !!!!

Is it normal :confused:

I can't change the setting or i don't know how to change :(

I am using Epox 8KTA3 Pro motherboard

Currently we know very little about your system
When asking a question you will obtain a better answer if you provide a the following information to help people answer you.

1) CPU make, type, speed (not clocked)
2) tempratures on load and idle (degree c)
3) mobo
4) anything specific to the question you ask such as sound card, or ram make and speed

The system bus is not exceptionally high as it is only running @ 138 mhz which is only 5 mhz higher than standard, however I would consider that someone who does not understand the principles of overclocking or know how to change the FSB should at this point be reading and learning rather than attempting to overclock.

My comments are not meant to be negative, I just wish to see no harm come to your system and as such would suggest reading the beginners guides on the front of overclockers.com and asking any questions you are unsure off before attempting to overclock

my spec are :

AMD Thunderbird 1.4 (not OC ),
640 ram (2*256 kingston pc133 , 1*128 kingston pc100)
Globalwin cak 38
Creative Geforce Pro 32 ddr
Creative live value.

CPU temp at 46C ( at idle i think )
:rolleyes:

There is an advantage of running a high FSB speed which is that the whole system is made to run faster and not just the CPU, however as you increase the FSB of the mobo the PCI goes out of sync. If you have good cards and other hardware you can run an exceptionally high FSB, it is not uncommon for people to run a FSB of 150 mhz or higher (I myself do this).
I would howver believe that your 128 mb stick of PC100 memory would generally hold you back in this department and as such I would remove it from my system.
I would personally be a little concerened about those tempratures as @ 46 c on idle it will easily exceed 50 c when working hard, so before attempting anything else this situation I believe would need resolving.

You will have more flexibility when overclocking if your CPU is unlocked, however your first course of action should be to examine those tempratures imho.

my CPU temp is alway around there (46 - 49)
i haven't try the full load!!!

wat the different between system bus and system clock

my system bus speed is 277 MHz

my system clock is 138 MHz

wat is FSB , is the system clock i mention.

:confused: :confused:

:confused: :confused:

Ur system clock is ur system bus speed ( front side buss {FSB})

But like the other mister mentiont, i would to look at the cpu temp!
couse in my point of view its verry high!

I think when ur gonna run a heave program its gonna increase about 10/15 degree's so look at that first

GooD luck!

How to check the temp on Load!

and wat r the ways to decrease the temp ??

:( :( :(


I still don;t understand wat u mean??

system speed is my system clock
but the 2 value is different !!!!!

:confused: :confused:

OK, you say that your temps are about 46 degrees, If it is at that temp when your system is not runnig any heavy program, that will be the idle temp. To check what the temps are att full load you need to run a program that stresses your cpu. Some examples of programs to use are: Prime 95, SiSoft Sandra, Seti@home, Stability Test, or running only the cpu test on 3D Mark.
To achieve the highest temp your cpu reaches you nedd to run one of the programs for at least half an hour an then check the you temp.
If you use SiSoft Sandra you have to use the Burnin Wizard - mark the chipset and cpu test and run them I dont now, about 60 times.


Reducing the temps
to reduce the temps you mayby have to check if the thermal grease between the cpu and the heatsink is properly applied. Another thing you have to check if the airflow in your case is enough. Hoy many fans do you have mounted in your case?
The system clock is your FSB, thats the speed your mem are running at. The system bus is not important in your case cuz you dont run DDR. The system speed will be the speed of the cpu in your case 1400mhz not OC.

Good luck
