once you got the ram speed to me i can tell you what to change (advertised ram speed not actual)
just looked at my asus bios forgot how great the p6^t is forr noob OC nothing too it
|
in the program real temp...check your cpu temperatures the numbers on left should be around 35C write it down just for reference
restart comp after the asus express gate screen passes, just tap the delete key until bios pops up
on the top press arrow key right to get to "AI tweaker"
scroll down arrow key to each selection i say and hit enter and select change then hit enter again
CPU ratio 19.00x
SpeedStep: Enabled
BLCK: 180
DRAM: put here the closest number below what your advertised ram speed is aka if its 1600 choose setting at or below that
CPU volts: try 1.25v to start (may have to raise or lower we will know later
QPI/DRAM volts 1.35v
DRAM BUS VOLT: 1.64v
CPU speed spectrum: disable
PCIE speed Spectrum: disable
thats it your done go over to exit at to and exit and save changes select
now you will boot up into computer : fingers crossed* everything should look good.. check your CPU temps in the program real temp...
see what they are and make note at this point im hoping their still low
now open up real temp so you cn see it out of the way monitor your temps.. if temps get to high the comp will auto shut down.. Buttt you should abort mission just in case if they get high like 80.. i doubt it will happen though with light OC
now you have your temp screen open run intel burn for a few minutes to see if were getting any errors, 5x iterations?)
monitor your temps
when finished everything still looking good, run the intel burn again for much longer maybe an hour or for fun you can install prime 95 and run that too for a few hours just to double check everything,
at this point if no errors occured .. you can go back into bios and either play with higher settings on the CPU x or BLCK x.. you can even try OC the ram (select higher than stock timings under DRAM: should work) or you can lower your CPU volts down to 1.2 or 1.225 from 1.25v which should use less power and keep her running cooler
run some benchmarks for fun, and let me know please post some screen shots for me!
(just for fun you can run the intel burn before you OC and measure the improvement you get.. fun fun!!!!
