What is really the best "FSB" or "Multiplier" Overclocking?
Using this board is like going to school for Overclocking. I have read every review I could find and think the forum can be great because of how much knowledge is available. I read success stories and play to fine-tune for "Stable" extra performance. Like tuning up a motor for power curve. I am surely no pro, but, wow is this combo teaching me. I have played with so many settings and know "FSB" OC is a good choice for locked CPU's, but is there a benefit for me with an unlocked 720BE? (No mine will not unlock 4th core)
My current setting seems to be my best stable approximate area. Approximate because my numbers for voltage for example are from Web information, not because I have math and Ohm's law for my decisions (learning), and my other settings are a result of using OCCT, Prime95, Futuremark 06, 3DMark Vantage, SiSoftware Sandra, CPU-Z and some other in and out tried for information programs.
So am I there? Do my setting seem correct, or what do you suggest for me to know? Do I have it close? I read higher success's but all I want is a fine tuned, at or near the best "Stable" my equipment offers. Mabie this topic will help a lot of us GD70 owners that have the same questions. After all this is the 790FX-GD70, let's educate each other forum. And unless you want bragging records (I like them too) to see how high you can get, I want to find my power curve and take advantage of this awesome equipment.... Thanks here's my settings:
C1E- disabled, Cool-n-Quiet- auto, SpreadSpectrum- On, HW Monitor CPU Smart Fan 40'c (2 case 120's onboard connection), FSB- 203, Multiplier X17.5 3552Mhz, CPU-NB X12 2436, Multistep OC Booster- Mode 2, Advanced Dram Configuration- Both-9.9.9.24 (per my sticks) 2T (subnote question), 1:3:33 1353, HT Link Speed- X12 2436, CPU VDD Voltage- 1.450, CPU-NB VDD voltage- 1.375, CPU Voltage- 1.510, CPU NB Voltage- 1.405, CPU PLL Voltage- 2.652, Dram Voltage- 1.80 (mfgr specs, also likes 1.65), NB Voltage- 1.300, HT Voltage- 1.350.
I noticed 2T as mfgr specs and switched from 1T. I run good at 1T and notice no difference at 2T (if anything it's better 2T) not sure? Articles suggest 1T when ever stable. What is really better?
So there you go everyone. Educate me. Tell me what I can do different and why? Again I am impressed to go from 2.8-3.552 as it is already. How do I know I have found the power curve for stable performance? And how do people get snapshots of thier screens to post...lol Thanks.
