Hey
I'm looking for advice on how to pump my rig to the fullest without risking it too much. I've gotten it from 2.93Ghz (stock) to 3.2Ghz by increasing the CPU Core Clock to 295Mhz with an x11 multiplier. I'd also like to know the most optimum BIOS configuration, as there are some tips and tricks I'm sure I don't know and could make the system faster... it's mainly used for gaming.
For some reason the multiplier doesn't want to go higher than that and if I put the CPU clock to 297Mhz or more, it displays some warning after POST about a processor with a 267Mhz bus. WTF?.
The BIOS is also updated with the latest version found on the ECS website.
Specs:
ECS P45T-A Black Series
GeForce 9800GTX+ 512Mb GDDR3
Core2Duo E7500 2.93Ghz OC @ 3.2Ghz
2Gb DDR2 800Mhz Kingston Single-Channel mode
250Gb SATA HD
Windows 7 x64
These are my BIOS settings:
And this is the error it throws when I increase the FSB over 295Mhz
Now, please, please, I wouldn't be asking in this forum if I had the money or means to get a (maybe) better motherboard/cpu/toaster/microwave, so don't try to solve my problem by saying buy X or get Y because if I could, I wouldn't be asking don'tcha think?
Thanks in advance! ^^
