Need some Overclocking advise

Post by Pino »

Hiya people im trying to squeeze out as much i can out of my system , i use it for gaming , watching movies , listening music etc.

This is what is in my rig :

AMD 64 3000+ ( Venice ) , Socket 939
Chaintech Zenith ( nForce 4 Chipset )
Geforce 6200 ( PCI - X , 256meg )
1 Gig 'o ram ( 2x Hynix using D43 Chips ) ( 2x Elixir , dunno what chips they use , but i got 220 MHz out of them when i had 512 on tight-ish timings at 2.8v )
400W PSU

Stock Cooling

CPU Idle : 32c
Load : 39c

I have lined up some Q's and i have read on JasonHK and Neo Steve's Site about the memory chips

Q1 : If im gonna go play with my memory abit should i focus on timings , or MHz , remember im using this system mostly for gaming.

Q2 : Where the heck is the multiplier! , i have been searching thru my bios and all i found is a HT multiplier and its set at 5x

Q3 : Where can i get a program to set my GFX card V?

Q4 : Where can i get a prgram that can monitor all my Voltages in real-time?

Thanks!

1) Timings fo' sure!

2) Gigabyte boards require one to press crtl+f1 to gain access to extra options, maybe the Chaintech is the same? Lower the HT multiplier to 3 or 4 when overclocking, keep it below 1000 (200x5=1000)

3) You might have to flash the bios with a hacked version.

4) Use SpeedFan: http://www.almico.com/speedfan.php. Don't trust software though, use it only as a guide. Your best bet is a multimeter.

Any specific reason for wanting 250Gb? What is the difference between that and the Ultra?

No reason. Okay, including Ultra.
