    Default Questions w/ Overclocking an Athlon II X4 640


    Hi Istoryans!

    First of all, I'm new to overclocking (1st time to be exact). I just recently overclocked my system earlier this morning just to try it out.

    Specs:

    CPU: AMD Athlon II X4 640 (3.45GHz OCed)
    MoBo: Gigabyte GA-880GM-UD2H (rev 1.4)
    RAM: 2x2GB Kingston DDR3 PC-10600 (Value RAMs)
    GPU: N/A (currently using IGP)
    HDD: 1TB Western Digital Green Caviar 64MB Cache
    PSU: 500W FSP Supersonic 80+
    Chassis: SilverStone Precision 5 Series PS05B-W
    Cooler: OCZ Vendetta 2

    Pix:



    3.45GHz stable OC after running Prime95 for 2hours.

    Only setting in the BIOS that I changed is the CPU Frequency from 200 - 230.

    Im a bit worried cuz my RAMs are only 1333Mhz but its OCed to 1532Mhz.

    Are there other settings that I need to change? Like the Memory Clock, HT Link Freq, NB Freq, Voltage, etc...?

    Any feedback will be highly appreciated.

    Thanks and more power Istorya!

    Downclock imo mem clock, change the ratio. You may want to downclock the ht link freq and nb freq a step lower if makaexperience ka ug instability.

    the long process : find max overclocked speed of processor, memory, fsb, HT individually....

    the short process : increase FSB till find instability
