In reality, only the increase in voltage (vCore) to an inappropriate value may shorten its life if the cooling system is inadequate. In some cases, a too high value of vCore can damage the cache, as was the case with Pentium 4. If you plan to overclock a prolonged and stable, therefore make sure not to exceed certain values of voltages, the ideal is to remain within the values recommended by the manufacturer. However, AMD recommends a maximum voltage of 1.5 volts for the Athlon 64 are etched in 130 nm or 90 nm. In short, the flexibility is low and to reach an overclocking worthy of the name, it will normally rise higher at least to get a good processor. my Overclocking & Computer Modification
am looking for overclocking software for athlon 64 + . Actually it is my friends commuter i think his configuration is
Before you start to get the maximum overclock of its platform, it must first address the problem of the HyperTransport bus, which differs most from an Athlon XP with overclocking for example. As already said, our 3800 + bus arrived with a 1 GHz HT, or 5 times the frequency of the FSB of origin. To avoid being limited by this one, we'll try not to exceed a frequency of 1 GHz. And to do this, our 9NDA3 + proposes to modify the multiplier bus HT. So:
- With a coefficient of 5x origin, must not exceed 200 MHz, the FSB of origin
- With a factor of 4x, it should not exceed 250 MHz FSB (250x4 = 1000)
- With a factor of 3x, we must not exceed 333 MHz FSB (333x3 = 999)
We therefore begin by choosing a multiplier to 3x HyperTransport bus, so as to reach a maximum of 333 MHz FSB without being bothered by it:
To find the maximum FSB we will also lower the CPU multiplier (thank you Cool-n-Quiet) at its minimum value, is 8x our 9NDA3 +:
The last point to be tested, the frequency of memory which will also depend on the FSB. In our case, we set it to operate with FSB DDR200 at its original frequency (FSB divided by 2), which reach a maximum memory frequency of 166.7 MHz in the best case, that is to say if we get a FSB of 333 MHz:
