Hi! Sorry if my english is bad.
So I have managed to have a problem with my CPU. I have a Phenom II x6 1055t Processor. It has 6 cores and its work with 2,0ghz per cores and 2,8ghz with overclock. So about two or three weeks ago I was somehow managed to overclock it to 2,8ghz and it was work very fine. But later I did a cmos reset and now, I don't have an idea why, but I cant overclock it again. If i try, my comp wont boot and i have to reset everything back to Default. Actually I play a lot but 2,0ghz not as good as 2,8ghz. I have more than 30 fps difference. Okay i know that my set up is not a big deal, and yes i want to buy a new motherboard and a new CPU, but if I can manage it again to overclock it, maybe I can put the Shopping off until later. And i can save some cash.

When you adjust the host frequency to 280, all system components are overclocked. Ensure adequate voltage is provided or adjust the ratio to maintain normal operation. Resetting BIOS via battery removal is acceptable. With a locked CPU, reduce the ratio for CPU-NB and DRAM frequencies since they will be excessively high at 280. Verify DRAM voltage and timings for DDR3-1866 (280 multiplied by 6.66) and set CPU-NB Frequency to 2800MHz (280 multiplied by 10). It is likely you should lower the CPU-NB Frequency, as 2800 is quite high; a value of 2400 or lower would be preferable for that processor.

For CPU OC, you should increase the CPU Ratio and Vcore. Using the correct voltage will help the system remain stable, but you may need to experiment to find the optimal settings.

So, I had everything set to auto with manual CPU OC then switched from 200mhz to 280mhz and turned off AMD Cool 'n quiet. I didn't adjust any other settings at all... I'm trying to reset my BIOS again without using the jumper. What if I remove the battery and put it back? Is there a difference? I also changed the CPU ratio after it failed (x14.00), but some friends say I don't really need to increase the Ratio and can leave it as auto.

Thank you for your response. Now I see the issue clearly. :') 240MHz functions well with a 9x ratio, and after removing SpeedFan from my system, it boots more quickly and applications run significantly faster.

Great to hear! 240 is typically the optimal setting for the Phenom II CPUs.
Enjoy!
