AMD3700 Sandy O/c on Asus A8N32SLI m/b

[NicksFXHouse]

PC restarted OK.

Well, not exactly, it was called A8N321303.ROM, & just draged it in to floppy.

But will rename it as you say & Extract it in the floppy, just in case it matters.

will post again.

RTFM (Read The Friendly Manual)

It MUST be renamed A8N32SLI.rom or the flasher won't take it.

Yes, my b....s up again, it worked in 10-15 seconds and carried out the rest of your instructions.

Obviously my manual still does not fit the screen bios, but will do, between this and the downloaded one.

You are very polite, at Toulouse the instruction was
R.T.F...ng Question.

Thus I did not notice the file name had 1303.

As regards to my Oclock effort, your silence I guess means you are disgusted with such amatourism.

I tried to follow all the Oclck info here and that is all I could come up with.

Anyway thanx a lot again

The manual and a few BIOS settings for just about any board is usually a little different. If you have a question about a few settings, why dont you go into the BIOS, write the setting and the options for that setting down on paper exactly as you see it on the screen and then come back here and post it... I will glad to look it over and let you know what it is or what it should be set to.

About overclocking... I can suggest some settings and see what happens. Congo is a crackerjack when it comes to setting up an overclock so I do not know if there is anything I might come up with that would work better than what he suggested...

Crackey, I tired Congo enough without pestering him any more. He explaned patiently the few things I understood and I enjoyed the experience.

I filled pads & pads with things from the Bios to the point I got really confused. Very deep subject.

See you,         luke

It can be a tad deep, until you get the hang of the basics, I'm sorry I wasn't clear.

Most overclocking articles deal with how to get maximum settings, ie. max FSB, max CPU, and max memory speeds. It's then a matter of combining the settings in an attempt to get the best stable compromise.

Read as much as you can and experiment a lot with your PC, make BIOS your friend, and don't hesitate to ask if you have a question, but ask one question at a time, so the info sinks in, it can be confusing to try to resolve several issues at once.

As far as me saying I thought 1.5v vcore was high, it's not really a high or potentially damaging voltage by itself, It's generally accepted that 1.6v-1.65v vcore and above is in the realm of PC's with water cooling or some other cooling solution than air.

When you see CPU full load temps going up through 60* suddenly after a vcore increase, you know it's time to back off. When your CPU hits that limit, depends on your PC and it's cooling solution, furthermore, addtional expensive cooling may not get you much further anyway.

I tend to be conservative when I advise on other people's overclocks. I try to get them a significant increase in performance without pushing the limits of their hardware, so not to stress the rig excessively. SO, I try to keep Vcore as close to stock as possible unless it's evident that more vcore is required, and that no significant temp rises are occurring.

Cheers.

point taken, thanx
