I've overclocked this already but there are a few things I don't understand in my BIO 's and I'm wanting to get better results in the long run and see what I can do with it.

Current Overclock Specs:
Code:
CPU Clock Speed: (1118 MHz to 2906.3 MHz it changes as needed)
CPU Original Clock Speed: 2600 MHz
CPU Clock Overclock: 12%
CPU Core #1 Min Temp: 17c
CPU Core #2 Min Temp: 17c
CPU Core #1 Max Temp: Continuous Stressed to 61c (Slowly Got This Hot)
CPU Core #2 Max Temp: Continuous Stressed to 61c (Slowly Got This Hot)
CPU Cool Down Time: ...Impressive cools down in seconds...

CPU Multiplier: Auto (It goes from 5 to 13 it changes as needed)
CPU FSB: 223.6 MHz (Originally 200 MHz)
CPU Setting: BH-G2
Core Voltage: (1.104v to 1.328v it changes as needed)

HTT Clock: 223.6 MHz
HTT Speed: 1118.0 MHz

Memory Bus: (223.6 to 447 MHz it changes as needed)
DRAM FSB Ratio: Auto (CPU/5 to CPU/7 it changes as needed)
Memory Type: Dual Channel DDR2-(447 to 894 it changes) SDRAM (5-5-5-15 CR2)
Chipset: nVIDIA nForce 6100-430, AMD Hammer

Settings in BIO 's I don't know much about:
Code:
HT-Voltage
NPT VID Control
Chip VID Control
Memory Voltage
GPU Bank Flip
DDR2 Manual Ram Settings

If anyone could shed some light on these settings and what they do for my computer it would be a great benefit to me.
 
:welcome:
Im actually running the exact same board in my fiancees computer. Sempron 3400+ cpu though.
Chip VID/NPT VID are the voltage controls for the chip set/cpu. gives a bit more stability with higher FSB speeds
Memory voltage is what it says, I have 2 sticks of OCz that NEED 2.1v to function correctly, so I have to change the settings to where the ram is happy.
DDR2 RAM settings allow you to adjust your ram timings and such.

Thats all that I have messed with so far on mine.
 
I can't get my DDR2 RAM Settings Manually to work. I have been using Memset for the past hour and got great results in OC'ing my Ram. Thanks for the information :)
 
Nice going so far - keep cranking! :)

Until you get through OC'ing the CPU and RAM you should turn your "HTT Speed" below 1000 MHz (if possible). You should also disable Cool'N'Quiet for the time being as well.

Except for DDR voltage and settings I've never had to adjust the other things you mentioned. Odd the manual RAM settings won't work ...
