I’m an amateur at this, but hey, you gotta start somewhere. With my budget Biostar board, I’ve upped the clock speed from 2200MHz x 2 to 2346MHz x 2.
Bus Speed: 213.1MHz (stock 200MHz)
Memory Speed: 213.1MHz (MB defaulted to 200, I think it’s supposed to run at 166 but no problems whatsoever)
Memory Timings: 3-3-3-7 (no idea what was being autodetected, but it was very very no) – also of note is that according to memtest86+, bulk writes are slower with 2.5-3-3-7 timing – maybe the memory itself is labeled wrong
Currently running prime95 on one core in “beat the *edited* out of my CPU” mode, and folding@home on the other. Not a single error so far. Woot!
congrats
i would play around with mines, howeer
1.) i dont know shat about CPU math
2.) my wallet is not very big, inface its very very small…
Well I had mine overclocked from stock 2.4ghz to 3.3ghz but didn’t try any higher (and I’m sure it can go higher)
Specs:
Core 2 Duo E6600 2.4ghz@3.3
Asus P5B-E P965 Motherboard
EVGA Geforce 8800GTS 640MB
2gb (1gb x 2) OCZ Platinum PC2-6400
2 x 160gb Hitachi Deskstar SATA2 in RAID0
Ultra X-Connect 500W PS
Antec Super Lanboy
Benq FP202W 20.1″ LCD
Logitech MX700 mouse
Ideazon Zboard & Logitech MX5000 keyboard
I don’t know what kind of card you have, but you will probably notice a larger performance improvement in games if you overclock your video card as opposed to your cpu
just an assumption on my part; but regardless I used to have an amd 3500+ (which is what I think you have) and I got mine up to I think 2563mhz; you should be able to push a higher fsb if you lower your memory speed
4400+ @ 2.2ghz per core, so it’s not all that impressive. It’s not terribly stable like my 3200 was, but maybe it’s the memory.
ahh a 4400; well i guess overclocking a dual core amd would be harder than a single core; but I still say that your memory is probably holding you back.
And yes I have every right to be a nerd!
X2’s are alot harder to overclock.
I’ve had my 4200 X2 stock 2.2ghz to 2.9ghz… I used to be addicted to voltage.
I now keep it at a mild 2.4 on stock voltage. Idle temps are about 30C
