Thanx for the gen, will get down to business. Pity can not see the Bios settings from within Windows.

Could,nt find the CPU voltage in Bios or the books.
CPU-Z gives only Core Clock 1004.7MHZ, and those voltages Speedfan shows in foto. Which one is it?

Have to find how to lock things now, as Bios now is AMI and not so friendly as Award before.

I am aware of the new PCI-Exprs, only this one will be locked at 200 & was wondering if should lock the PCI at 33.45 as shown in clockgen then. Now shows it 12.4.
In any case I am confused on all here!.

AHA... FID/VID applies the top ones & Set Values the bottom ones.

200=400 if you say so!.....No objection.

Managed to straight swap to 32; with a lot of bargain managed to avoid the extra

There must be a CPU voltage control, it's possibly in a hidden advanced option, check the Asus Mobo Forums for your board.
Your Vcore is at 1.1v there which is very low.

PCIe gets locked at 100mhz, PCI at 33mhz. These buses don't run Double Data Rate (DDR) like the system bus so you take them at face value. It's a wonder your PC even works at all if those settings are correct, but they aren't and you've managed to completely baffle me.

How did......... oh, nevermind.

Ok, I don't think clockgen is working for one of two reasons, either you are missing some of it's files in the install folder or your PC is so far out of spec that clockgen won't work right.

This is another run (of many) with the top figures more like it. The bottoms wo'nt badge.

Deleted clockgen and redowonloaded it many times. Sent a note to maker for help.

Went to the URL, a blessing I do not understand it to get the blues.

I am checking the Bios now & will came back.

You need to make all manual settings to open up the advanced options in bios.

That mainboard has all the BIOS options you'll need, you just need to find them. Hypertransport multiplier is one of them.

On this bootup any Auto found in Bios I altered to Manual, the only thing I understood in N.Nick's sientific lectures.

The times I rebooted to Bios, but no Hypertransport multiplier is visible, nor HTT, nor PCI speeds.

Perhaps with other name?

I am posting help on corrupted Clockgen in all overlocking forums.

PS. while writing this, I thought of trying CGen with all in Manual, and presto the right hand one in foto.

I hate to think how much more this will exasperate you.

It showed a slider in full swing, and is that Current 8.06 GHZ ?.

The R/Hand one is after I moved the top slider to my 2.2ghz & the PCI to 100, to much a bit the figures I got the fist time with A8N-sli, the left hand in foto.

Temted to click "Set Values" just for the hell of it, but I do not dare to.

Please see next reply for figures my PC gives in CPU-Z.

<- Left one with A8N-sli

Although you knew most of the figures, I thought maybe this will help in ascertaining my situation, & the chances of me trying a bit of overlocking, just for interest even if I do not need more power.

The first place I saw HTT (= 200) listed is in CPU-Z, first plate bottom left below.

The CPU FSB Frequency =

Open Everest, click Computer from the left side menu and then click "Sensor".

You'll see the CPU, mainboard and video chip temps displayed.
