Unsure on overclocking
Unsure on overclocking
Hi,
I've been attempting to overclock my Intel x5650 from 2.6ghz to about 4ghz. I didn't have a clear method and adjusted the CPU Frequency from 133 to 195. When I start my computer, it reports a speed of 3.80Ghz, which is sufficient for me. However, during actual testing on my machine, it still only reaches up to 2.6Ghz, and nothing displays at 3.8Ghz. Could anyone help explain why this discrepancy occurs?
if this a bios setting then yes up it one or two steps at a time until your system becomes unstable.then back it off until it does become stable.this is your best overclock at stock voltage.you will need to test this oc with a program like occt once this is done you will have to increase your cpu voltage as well as the multiplier.at the same time you have to watch temps so they dont get too high.this is a bit hard to explain but hopefully a more experienced overclocker will chime in here.
you really need to share your pc specifications, but first reset your bios and begin your oc by gradually increasing the cpu multiplier in small steps until the system starts to become unstable. use a testing software like occt to check between settings. once you provide the specs we can proceed further.
you should definitely share your PC specifications, but first reset your BIOS and begin the startup process by adjusting the CPU multiplier in small increments until the system starts to behave erratically. use testing software such as occt to evaluate changes between configurations. once you provide the specs, we can proceed further. i’m not sure how to modify the multiplier—there’s an option labeled ratio set to 20; should I change that? additionally, here are my specifications: storage – seagate 1TB hard drive, power supply – thermaltake smart pro rgb 750w 80 plus bronze, motherboard – x58-extreme intel socket 1366, ram – 1x 8gb ddr3, gpu – gigabyte windforce gtx 780 3gb gddr5, cpu – intel xeon x5650 2.66gHz 6 core 12 thread.
