Help needed for Overclocking AMD 3800 CPU AM2 Socket!
I have just bought an AM2 3800cpu and Asus M2V-TVM mobo, I have seen
reports of 3800s cranking out 2.7GHz, hell, I'd be happy with 2.2 or 2.4GHz. Can someone give me advise on which parameters I need to adjust to acheive this, I am running 512mb DDR2 ram infineon 667 and a 550watt PSU. I have noticed that most overclocking feeds have been for the 939 socket not the newby AM2? Thanks Chaps! |

Unfortunately, after downloading and looking at the manual for your board, I don't see any way to cange any of the defaults, with the possible except of HT from 1000 down to 800. Might try looking at the CPU Configuration section and see if there's more there than the manual shows, but there's nothing in the manual for setting the cpu frequency. Maybe a bios upgrade will get you something, but the outlook isn't good at this time. I just recently upgraded to an AM2 X2 3800+ also using a GA-M55Plus-S3G MB. It has user settings for all you need, HT, RAM, and CPU Frequency. I don't run overclocked but I did rasie the clock from 200 to 233 for a quick test and surprisngly enough it ran fine at 2330MHz without adjusting HT, vcore, or the ram. Would have tried to max it out, but was in a hurry since this is my server and MythTV main backend server also and I had shows to record. You may find some external apps that will let you change the settings, or they may be hidden in the bios. Good luck. -- Want the ultimate in free OTA SD/HDTV Recorder? http://mythtv.org http://mysettopbox.tv/knoppmyth.html Usenet alt.video.ptv.mythtv My server http://wesnewell.no-ip.com/cpu.php HD Tivo S3 compared http://wesnewell.no-ip.com/mythtivo.htm |

I have noticed that most overclocking feeds have been for the 939 socket not the newby AM2? Thanks Chaps! I recently built an Abit NF-95 system. The bios support for overclocking was limited. Within the bios I set the memory (DDR400) to run at DDR333 and HT to 4x(800). Then within Windows XP I was able to use ClockGen http://www.cpuid.com/clockgen.php to dynamically adjust the clock and use CrystalCPUID http://crystalmark.info/software/Cry...D/index-e.html to adjust Vcore. I got a stable system at 2450Mhz. I've left it running at 2400 now. I can't say whether these would work with your Asus motherboard. Eric -- Remove the dross to contact me directly |
