help me overlock please(swift replies plz Ty)

[trivium nate]

okay so in my bios their is a thing I go to advanced then hit cpu config an option that says AI tuning I set it to AI overclock i have it on 5% right now its 2.73 GHZ woohoo. okay so I know nothing of o/clocking or temps or w/e. how do I stress test it? can I go higher? move it to 10%?

How do I run prime 95? I want to stress test with that thanks

heres cpuz and everest

Aw man I have no idea how to overclock AMDs. I know i7s just a little bit.

As for stressing programs, you want to run them together with a monitoring program like RealTemp and make sure your temperatures are ok during stress testings. Before you do anything I would use RealTemp + Prime95 on stock settings and see how good of a cooler you have.

Just by looking at that, I see you are idling at 54, seems a little high, but maybe AMDs run hotter, what do i know.
But yea, search up overclocking tutorials and post a bunch of stuff on other, more AMD based forums.

okay thanks bob

um i changed it to 10% o/c 2.86 GHZ wooohoooo

i ran P95 for a few minutes(on the in place large fft's until it got to 10) the highest temp it went to was 63

[bob saget]

I dont know why i recommended Realtemp when you have Everest right there just tired i guess.
Good luck

[trivium nate]

its ok man Thank you for your help

[trivium nate]

im going to have ot test it longer tomorrow

1. at idle your CPU is already too hot
2. You want to run small FFTs to stress CPU (at least 4 hours). Blend to test CPU and memory

okay thanks

for now i set her back to stock speeds can anyone recommend me a god socket am2+ cooler? thanks

what cooler are you running now? Have you tried to remount it, you might just have a lousy mount? If its a stock cooler, forget about overclocking until you get something aftermarket that can control those temps.

I only water cool now so I dont really know what the "hot" air cooler is now. That V8 seems to be decent. Here is a recent roundup of coolers @ Legit Reviews.

The titan fenrir seemed to provide some really nice temps and its relatively cheap @ $52. I'd say its worth the money for the results Legit Reviews got with it.

Don't these new AMD's have two ways of reporting cpu temp?

I think so. I use AMD Overdrive for my Asus M3A sb600 mobo.

http://www.amd.com/us-en/0,,3715_153..._15359,00.html

For each core the temp is reported... (mine @ stock is @ 40 for each core), and then there is TMPIN1, TMPIN2 & TMPIN3. 1 is @ 57, 2 is @ 40, 3 is @ 25.

I heard the Phenoms can take slightly higher temps than the older cpus as well... like, that 60 isn't as bad of a temp as it used to be like back in the Athlon XP days.

yea but his idle is almost 50. Thats too hot for an idle temp.
