This should be handy for OverDrive OC'ing, but with a shiny mobo like that I reckon you'll be better off doing some proper OC'ing, or getting the mobo to do it for you [see AXTU at the bottom], I am not at all ashamed to say that atm this is what I am doing, as I don't need any more than 4.5GHz out of mine yet.

For proper OC'ing, I think this should be of help, otherwise there are various logs on OCN itself.

Thank you for your reply! I tried to OC,while starting system..it's calld " X-BOOST " ...well,after like 5-10min my system hanged. So I re-booted and cutted thouse settings out. I have still no idea,how to OC correctly. Can you help me?

What things should I also disable in Bios if I am overclocking?
Like cool&quiet...

 

Deffo disable cool&quiet, otherwise it depends on the board. TBH when I look at all the things I can change on mine if/when I go in for some proper OCing I feel a bit lost. With any luck yours won't have quite the same plethora of scary settings.

Did you have a look at this link? I think it would be really helpful. I know its a lot to read but overclocking is not a really a casual Sunday afternoon thing (unless your board does it for you

), more of a 72-hours-straight-if-you're-lucky type thing.

 

AMD Overdrive might be the easiest option if you feel lost in the BIOS, but you won't be able to get as much out of it.

 

using the bios is a better way, it's also a bit of a learning adventure but worth it.
go into your bios and disable turbo, set your cpu multiplier to 20, so 200mhz front side bus * 20 cpu multiplier = 4ghz core clock
download cpu-z and hwmonitor and post results.

Done.

On some load in game,CPU temp was near 40.

 

Any help? I might say that,this is strange,as you can see un CPU-Z.
I putted on 4Ghz...no idea,bus speed is not even on 200...

 

In addition to disabling CnQ you should check to see if there is an option for APM in your bios and make sure to disable it as it'll cause throttling in heavy load situations.

 

Disabling CnQ is NOT necessary for overclocking and getting good results. This is a common myth. Though, on Phenom II processors CnQ just stops working at really high multipliers.

 

Hey guys. I've tried to disable all power savers,cool&quiet either..I'm still getting same results on CPU-Z.
Any other ideas?
Much appreciated.
Thank you!

Absolutely true !

Good overclock is overclock that does not sacrifice anything in terms of power save and features.

Hmm,I'll make a try.
I'm kinda new to OC...all what I readed...was that I need to disable some kind of thouse power savers...

 

very nice, i have almost the set setup as you. hoping to learn some good stuff here

 

Any more suggestion?
