AMD Athlon x2 4000+ Overclock

[defaultuser]

I get the impression that you haven't done the mandatory reading of overclocking guides before asking questions... I don't know if I'm wrong.
So, now starting from that configuration that appears in the cpuz, what values do you touch to try to get a little more overclocking?
Depending on what you tell me, I'll see where things are at, before I start messing around.

If the thing is that if Hugtranz is raising the HT and the ram along with the base clock out of ignorance, it is better to read one or another OC guide for A64 to "warm up".

By the way, do you have the mobile as your main device now? :rollani:

touché. Yes, unfortunately, with what it costs me the higher degree of the noses I can't afford it while I don't have a desktop. For work, I use my girlfriend's laptop. Now I'm busy with Android and developing applications for mobile devices. Actually Java and four more things. I'm craving to have a PC. That's why I don't dare to publish much because from the smartphone I would jump over all the rules of grammar. Xd

Thanks for your reply again friend, I am not an expert in overclocking, I just rely on my experience and in fact I don't think I need any OC guide for A64.

Edit: I will continue to test, if I find a solution I will be happy to share it.

Man I think I've made it pretty clear already.

No one questions your experience man, everyone here has a lot of experience.
The point is, if you're raising the cpu, and the ram, and the HT link at the same time, how do you know which one is limiting you?, it doesn't matter that you also want to push the ram and the HT, you will always have to test each thing separately first.

And then there are more steps…..

The value I increased is the CPU FSB's, simply, without touching voltages.

[defaultuser]

Yes, FSB and base clock refer to the same thing.
The previous answers have the clarifications.

@defaultuser:

Si, FSB y reloj base hablamos de lo mismo.
En las respuestas anteriores tienes las aclaraciones.

Salu2.

De todas maneras, gracias.

Well I finally managed to overclock the processor to 2.8 with the memory at 800MHz at 5.5.5.15, configuring the memory rates and increasing voltages, the good thing is that the HTL didn't go up and stayed at 1080, the voltages didn't change drastically, and when I ran tests with Prime95 there were no failures. I'll leave the CPUID screenshot.

Edit: To be more sure I continued running tests and there were no problems. It goes without saying that it supports good overclocking with decent cooling and ventilation, going from an A64 4000+ to @ 5200+ doesn't seem bad to me, greetings to everyone.

@Hugtranz:

The value that increased is simply the CPU FSB, without touching voltages.

Let's see, the problem you have is simply that you are increasing the HT and RAM along with the micro.

You need to go to the bios and set a lower multiplier for the HT and a lower divider for the RAM (or set it to 667Mhz which is the same, depending on what appears in your bios). Then, when you have done this, you will only be increasing the micro, and you can check if it can still increase something more before starting to ask for more voltage.

Because right now, as you have it, you don't know if what can't handle it anymore is the HT, or if it's the RAM, or if it's the micro.
Since you have increased the FSB (hereinafter to be rigorous and avoid confusion, the base clock or Bclk) and nothing more, that is, you didn't lower the HT and RAM before, it happens that you have:

the HT Link (HT= Hyper Transport) at 1226Mhz

And the RAM at 858Mhz (429x2)

The theory:
What your bios calls "FSB", and that cpuz calls "Bus Speed" and I call "Bclk" is all the same (to avoid confusion).

The HT frequency starts from this Bclk, multiplying it by 5 (HT= FSB (200) x5 = 1000Mhz.

And the RAM frequency is produced by taking as a base the final frequency of the micro and applying a divider, which in the end, the speed of the ram also indirectly depends on the base clock.
In your case it would be 2100Mhz between 5.25 = 400Mhz.

Well, I see that you have already lowered everything except the micro, it's not bad for that micro.
What I'm not clear about is what you mean by "... the good thing is that the HTL didn't go up, it stayed at 1080...", Man, it went down to 1080 because either you lowered its multiplier from 5x to 4x, or because you touched something that takes care of doing it automatically.

To continue increasing the micro right now, you would have to lower the HT and RAM again, of course, but you might already be starting to ask for more voltage, and from the temps you had at 2.6, I don't think you have much temperature margin.

Salu2.

PD:
It's not bad for that micro (Brisbane) a 35% overclock with normal voltage, now it depends on whether you want to use it to take advantage of it or just for oc (to continue increasing I mean).

[Hugtranz]

Thank you very much for your response, it clarifies many doubts for me, here I leave the next modification.

I think the results improved, even the temperature ones.
