Yea i have a
xfx 780 i mb 1800 fsb oc
e8500 45 nm oc to 4.1 ghz on each core
corsair 1000 psu
2x 9800 gtx+
1066 ddr2 at 1120mhz crosair

I seem to be having problems with my ram the spes say that i can over clock it to at leat 1200 but i cant get it past 1140 stable

did you up the volts on the ram?
mine is 1.7v but i run it at 1.85v with my OC.

Yea mine is suppose to be 2.1 but i run it at 2.3 to 2.4v with the fan

To be honest oc'ing ram wont give you much/or noticeable performance increase. I dont bother, but hey if your keen go for it.

yeah it not gonna matter much anyways... 4.1 on the cpu is more than enuf.. my e8400 is at 4 ghz... i could push it a bit more but i dont see the need cause theres a bottleneck in the gpu, 4850... u only need to oc enuf so the gpu doesnt bottleneck, past that is a waste... that is unless theres still a bottleneck on the gpu... and the oc'ing on the ram is gonna go hand in hand with the cpu... i say just leave it so its stable... thats all u need really.. wat u got now is fucking plenty... that is unless ur tryin to get some big 3D mark score or somfin... ask cos wats his...

dont oc ur ram mate leave as is it doesn't really do shit, sometimes when u oc ur cpu u actually need to lover ur clock ur the ram to keep it stable, i had that prob and a few other guys as well. so dont push ur ram anymore mate leave as is or drop a lil. i can oc my ram to 1800 but then starts getting all funny so i leave it at 1600 just coz something says u can push it to a certain point dont really mean u can or have it stable at that point

yeah mate not gonna do much more for performance... keep it stable... it would be good to hear some feedback...

lol wounded.. it makes a huge difference... when i oc'ed my cpu and gfx it increased my fps by like 25-30 frames... on med and high settings

Yeah it does make a difference but it depends on ya setup.... CPU OC in crysis made a huge difference to FPS for me anyways, GPU OC doesnt do much for Crysis its all about using the CPU to free up the GPU bottleneck and this is all dependent an the GPU/s you are using, My 2 9800GX2's create a huge bottleneck so i have to run a high CPU OC to get the full performance outa them. But as wounded said his system is different and his 8800 doesnt need a big CPU OC to work to its full potential.
I have been running Wars on low/med settings lately same as wounded to get the best playability, even with my setup!.....I can run it higher and it looks pwetty but you play better at 150 FPS rather than 50 lol
If ya wanna talk serious OC's talk to a guy most of us know Milamber he has some great threads on OCAU.
Should see the pix of him using liquid nitrogen cooling on his rig to get +5ghz rofl!

fuck 5 ghz thats pretty cool... personally though i'd rather save the money for other stuff... cos oc'ing my gfx improved my fps by 10 frames on med/high settings and smoother too...

so cos what ever happen to getting the i7 mate? change of mind or u weren't allowed?

I find that i get speeds on sunday for some strange reason, that gose for torrents aswell.

massive ping for being so close to the auckland server :S

I have no idea why it is like that , when i am playing on the server i have no problem with it only when i wanna test speed dont knw y

Just a quick question what would the bottle neck be on my computer be if i have the following clock speeds

Cpu- 4.5 core 2 duo
Gpu- 800 mhz
Mother board ram- 1120 mhz ddr2
Gpu- ram 2300 mhz ddr3


I still have more room to overclock my cpu and FSB but not my ram, i was thinking about getting some kinston ddr2 1200Mhz but they only come in 2x1 gb kits. And i have vista 64 bit. Just one other question is will my mother board able to support ddr2 ram over 1200 mhz and if so where can i find it.

one question... how did u get ur cpu to 4.5 ghz???... wat kind of cooling and wattage u using?

Wel i have got 45 nm e8500 cpu, with a thermaltake 120 heat pipe cooling i think that my volts are 1.66 and 1.4 on my FSB, i can get my cpu all the way up to 4.8 on a cold day with a 2100 mhz FSB and my Multiplier at 9.5.... For my graphics card i have got a 9800 gtx+ is this a good combo for a xfx 780i Mother board and cpu combination

well anything kinda over the 4gz mark i think isn't bottlnecking therefore the extra .8 ghz i think is a waste unless u do all that softweare shit... should test the bottleneck... it should go quite nicely with that mobo

How do u test the bottleneck.....this is about the first time that i have heard of a bottleneck

LOL ahahahahahahahaha... sorri Gazz but i had to laugh at that

no actually... i DO no wat a bottleneck is actually wounded so u can all fuck up... say the cpu is running at for example 2.4ghz... and u hav 2x 295 gfx or wateva... obviously running the cpu at that speed isnt going to get the gfx running the best they can cause the process speed is sooo slow....

so to do a simple test is to check frames... start cpu at a low clock and slowly make it faster until ur frames arnt getting any higher... cause any extra clock is just a waste as uve gotten rid of the BOTTLENECK!

dickheads

Ok all hale the might great 1 they call Gazz i am sorri but i have never heard about bottlenecking before i seem to having a nother problem with crysis every time i play a game it keeps on saying that display driver has stoped working and then crysis shuts down i ran my clock at the factory setting but the sam error keeps coming up,I have got all the latest drivers but nothing seems to fix it

Hey Mutiny have you install you video drivers properly??? ( uninstall the old drivers, do a register cleanup and then install the new drivers).
I use to get shit load of problems before went i just install the newer drivers on top of the old ones.l
My opinion on overclocking is alright but is just shortening the lifespan of you hardware even if you cooling it down (unless you cooling it to some extreme temperature with some exotic cooling like nitrogen or submerge cooling).
You better off buying the hardware that runs at that speed without overclocking because they run alot better but for that you need $$$

Yea i do not overclock to the max, just enough to get the best performance out of my system when u mean register cleanup do u mean using spy bot search and destroy or are there any other free software out there that i can use to do a register cleanup.

Try drivercleaner mate
http://www.drivercleaner.net/
you can always torrent it but its only $9.99 so aint to expensive and it does wonders.
For register cleaner i havent found a good one yet but went i do i post it up.

Jesus... 1.66v on a 45nm, i'm surprised it's not dead yet. Hope you're getting a hell of a lot of vdrop/droop otherwise that CPU will be dead in a very short amount of time at that voltage

p.s; Hi

vdrop/droop Not shure what the means just explain it to me if u will plz

Your voltage drops when your Cpu is not under load. Its generally a power saving tool. Google is your friend

oc'ing is for fags, wen i get my pc running its gonna run normal and shit on yas. talking of shitting i gotta do one now

If you set 1.66v in BIOS, for example, you won't get 1.66v when the CPU is loaded in Windows.

A general example would be;

BIOS - 1.45v
Windows idle (vDrop) - 1.42v
Windows load (vDroop) - 1.38v

Because of the way the motherboard power works and the ability of the components, the power you ask and the power you recieve aren't usually the same. Some boards have "load line calibration" which lessens the gap between voltage drops.

OOOhhhhh ok now i get it ....Just one more question say i overclock my FSB on my mobo, dose it overclock the FSB on my cpu or does it stay at 1333, and say that i my standard clock on my mobo FSB is 1333 and i want to put a cpu with a 1600 fsb am i able to do this. And is 1 gb stick of ram faster than a 2 gb stick of ram running at the same Mhz and latency times.

Sorri if a irritate any 1 with my stupid question, I just find it much easier if some one explains it to me

Ohh i just wanted to point out boys, if you increase the temperature of a electronic device by 6 degrees Celsius, that means if you CPU normal temperate rate is around 40 degrees and you overclocking it so the temperature rise to 90 degrees Celsius then you device wont last long at all, if you expected the CPU to last you for at least 4 years then you out of luck, but then again everyone upgrades their CPU every 2 years approximately so its not a big deal.
But if you got the $$$ then get the CPU that runs at that speed instead of getting a slower CPU and overclocking.
PS. And no I'm not making this shit up its been bash into my head while i was doing my degree.

yeah everyone knows bout temps and overloading them will shorten their life... oc'ing a cpu full stop will shorten the life of it... and yes wounded i do no wat im talking about

Does a core 2 duo extreme run better than a core i7 cpu because i am thinking of upgrading or getting a asus rampage mobo and cpu core i7

Uhh, what?

Yeah, your CPU FSB runs in relation to your Motherboard FSB. Your FSB would actually run at 333MHz internal clock rate, then you "quad-pump" to get your full FSB speed, which is 4x333 = 1333MHz. When you overclock your CPU, you're actually overclocking your FSB to overclock your CPU, so by increasing your FSB to 400 (or 1600MHz QDR) you're automatically upping the CPU clock to 400MHz * whatever multiplier it uses, which for the E8400 is 9x. So, 9x400MHz = 3600MHz CPU clock. This -completely- changes with i7 as there is no longer a Front Side Bus But you can still overclock, just differently.

As for your last question, have a look at some benchmarks to compare i7 vs Core2. www.anandtech.com , www.guru3d.com , etc.

Dont worry about Buckethead mate, i would put money on it that he was pissed when he posted that and doesnt speak good english at the best of times loool.

Love ya Bucket!

Its great to have the mighty Ninja Leader Shin in our Tech forums, being an internode tech moderator also he has just a little bit of knowledge floating round up there lol!
Thx for the inputs Shin!
Cos.

Can't help myself... Sitting at the comp all day trying to distract myself from doing work makes me slut forums.

am shin just to let u know mate 4x333 isn't 1333 i guess u didnt finish school it's 1332 enjoy lol

sgt fucking telling som1 about finishing skool.. u must be the most grammar illiterate person on these forums mate
