I can't keep my character steady right now
I can't keep my character steady right now
Hey, Im pretty brand new to overclocking so thats why I'm doing it on my old Phenom II x6 1055T processor. I have tried everything but cant go past 3.2Ghz. Ive changed the voltages, used a specific reference link and other tips. It just wont get stable and i'll blue screen. Can anyone help me out?
FSB is called the Front Side Bus. The FSB times the CPU's multiplier to get the actual CPU speed. There are two main ways to overclock a processor: either increase the multiplier, which usually goes by the numbers like 2, or raise the FCLK (the heartbeat of the bus), often keeping it at nice round numbers such as 100 or 200.

FSB means the Front Side Bus. It times together with your CPU to make your final speed. There are two ways to overclock a processor: increase the multiplier, usually going up by two numbers, OR go higher on the FSB (called BCLK in newer systems). This number is mostly a round one like 100 or 200 MHz.
You can't change the multiplier yet because it's set to lock. Maybe you should slow down your RAM speed or cut back on the PCI cards? Your FSB runs at 236 MHz right now.
Sure, I know about that, so I asked about the FSB. A normal FSB should be 200 MHz, but if you go too high, it makes things unstable because the PCI bus gets even faster than expected. You can set the BIOS to lock the FSB at 200 MHz. Also, raising this changes how fast your RAM works, and sometimes the RAM can't handle that speed. The fix is to lower the RAM's multiplier and frequency by one notch, or increase the voltage. When you overclock the CPU, it might need a higher voltage too.
I didn't realize the PCIe slot actually had a speed limit too, which is what my graphics card needs. Should I just set my graphics card to manual mode and keep it at 200 instead of letting it choose automatically? I think that's the issue because I already lowered my RAM frequency anyway.
You can use both a graphics card (GPU) and your hard drive, plus other things like that.
