Trying to boost performance on an old system running a nuclear Bom game.
You've boosted the HT speed, but the effect will likely be minimal and may even reduce stability. Keep some settings unchanged—perhaps maintain 1600 or lower, maybe drop to 1200 if possible. Adjusting the CPU FSB from 200 is feasible given your PCIe-FSB limit of 100MHz, though it could impact RAM speed, so you might need to lower it again. Core voltage may not need a change if the OC is only slightly reduced (5-10%). Regarding games, your concerns are valid—results may not improve much.
It seems my OC from version 2.92 to 3.04 performed well. I’ll boost it to just a few and check its stability. Now it’s AID A64 Turn. Also, the motherboard isn’t letting me do anything risky—it stops after the pre/post prompt to change the clock in the BIOS. Speaking of BIOS, I updated her and it really helped a lot!
