Help a noob pls ;)
Hi all
I am totally newbie of overclocking. I have purchased the following items: Asrock A780GXH/128M AMD Phenom II X2 550 3.1Ghz Am3 black edition kingston 4 Gb ddr2 800mhz pc2-6400 case MS-TECH LC-402 Black power supply TECHSOLO 600W TP-600 Is it real that I can use the function ACC of this motherboard to try to restore the other 2 cores of the phenom II x2 550? How could I setup the ACC? Also, I would like to start learning the overclocking; I did not need a new pc, I just bought these pieces for this purpose, so please give me suggestions and hints At first I was undecided between this cpu and the X3 2,8Ghz do you think I have made a good choice? |

It is a "black edition". Isn't the multiplier unlocked ? Change the multiplier. See section 3.4.1 and "Multiplier/Voltage Change". Use CPUZ from cpuid.com, to verify the changes, and make only small changes so you can understand how it works. ftp://europe.asrock.com/manual/M3A780GXH128M.pdf Paul |

Thanks a lot, Paul Im ready to ruin my first cpu |

Thanks a lot, Paul Im ready to ruin my first cpu You can give it a little more voltage, as you explore the speed it is capable of. You need to know 1) The nominal value. What does it need, to operate at the stock speed. The hardware monitor may show this value, when the computer is idle. 2) The maximum value. There is some value which will damage the CPU. It helps if you know what that value is. 3) As you increase frequency, eventually the computer will be unstable. If you proceed in small steps, the computer will not completely crash, but may only be unstable when Prime95 is running. You increase the voltage a step or two, and rerun the test. If you plot the values, you might see something like this. Voltage +--------- | +-------+ | -----+ Frequency The slope of the best fit line, through the points, gives you some idea how much voltage it would take to reach a particular frequency. If you need raw data, see hwbot.org . Some of the results have screen shots, and they may include voltage information, or other settings. http://www.hwbot.org/listResults.do?...rue&limit=1000 Paul |
