Overclocking a AMD A64 Teaser..

Osirus · Oct 24, 2004

Well I got bored the other day, so I thought I would take my digi cam, and record a video of me overclocking my CPU. so I did that and its pretty lame, but neat at the same time, its quite hard to hold a cam, make sure its set correctly, and use the keyboard at the same time.

Anywho, I just finished encoding it, and its 21mb, so Im going to upload it to my website and post a link for your viewing pleasure!

Well here it is!

It was encoded using Movie Maker, but will play with just about any media player.

Errr...file not found. You should consider a tripod to hold the camcorder steady

Osirus · Oct 24, 2004

fixed it.. I didnt use a capital O

I tried that, but you cant see anything if I did

Nice, but the video is kinda choppy. Very nice oc though.

Osirus · Oct 24, 2004

yeah I know.. my digi cam doesnt record video all that well. I might try it again though.

How high do you think I could oc my AMD64 754 3400+. I have a Zalman7000CU and my idle temps are about 43C and under load its about 52-54C. Im just curios before I start.

Osirus · Oct 24, 2004

you should be able to hit 2.6, with ease. My A64 is a 1.8ghz by default, and I oc'd it to 2.6, i believe yours is the 2.2ghz, so 2.6 shouldnt be hard.

inkfx · Oct 24, 2004

So at 2.6 will be fine under load too? Or do I just have to figure that out by myself.

Osirus · Oct 24, 2004

well that depends on your system, my load is around 55c, according to CORE center, but I think thats off

inkfx · Oct 24, 2004

Yeah I have the core center thing to but I also use MotherBoard monitor 5. When core center says 47C mbm5 says 43C so its 4-5C difference. Ill try it and see how I do.

I cant seem to get MBM to read my board, it doesnt have the support for the nf3 ultra that the neo2 use's

CandymanCan · Oct 24, 2004

I bet ya his cpu will get stuck @ 2500mhz or around thier. Remember that temps and voltages dont affect the Overclocking of A64's that much

Osirus · Oct 24, 2004

Oh thats right. Good point CandymanCan

inkfx · Oct 24, 2004

Yeah I just tried to OC it and I got to about 2550 and when it tried to go higher my system locked up and I had to rs. Am I going to be able to go above that? Or am I stuck at 2.55?

Osirus · Oct 25, 2004

it all depends on what settings you are using. post up what settings you used.

inkfx · Oct 25, 2004

Well all I did was use the Auto OC feature on the Core Center prog. Should I oc it from the bios to see if I get better results? Am I stupid for doing that? =\

Osirus · Oct 25, 2004

yeah, always overclock from the bios.

inkfx · Oct 25, 2004

What settings should I use then? I dont have much experience from OCing inthe bios.

Osirus · Oct 25, 2004

well this should get you to hit 2.6
ht x3
fsb or htt - 289
memory_fsb_ratio - 166:200 or 5:6
speed spectrum - disabled
I dont know what your multiplier is, so these settings maybe too high for you.
try the fsb at a lower number, until your close to 2.6

inkfx · Oct 25, 2004

My stock multiplyer is at 200. 12x217 gets me to 2604. Should I set it to that and see how it does.
