[AtactHD]

SOME ONE PLEASE ANSWER

i have a desktop with the phenim iix4 810 2600 4 cores.it is currently running at 2.6GHz. it has 8gb of RAM. i have windows 7 64-bit. i really want to overclock it to 3GHz but i dont want to spend any money at all. its only air cooled so i dont know how much i can get it up to. is there any more info anyone needs nad if then how do i find out. i just want someones help to overclock it since i am sort or a computer noob, thanks in advance

I have this CPU @ 3.9GHz 100% stable with a VCORE of only 1.50V. There is a jumper on the board that allows "overvolting" so you can specift voltages > 1.45V.

Have you tried over-clocking this same motherboard with other types of cooling ? I have the same rig and am looking into water cooling

Well , i have one problem ...

I have power supply Seventeam V-Force Series 850W and

i have motherboard Asus M4A79T Deluxe , in the motherboard have

4 or 8 pin , you use 4 or 8 pin ?

thx

there are two power connections to the motherboard, one is EATXPWR which has 24 pins and the second one is EATX12V which has 8 pins, its better to use the 8 pin not the 4 because it won't be grounded to the and may damage ur motherboard.

@d1nho332 if your running a quad core processor use the 8 pin..........dual core use the 4 pin.......quad core require more power.

1.65V? You must be living in a cool country, 1.65V is VERY VERY high...

What kind of ram do you have? What kind of temperatures do you get during load? I have this same mobo and cpu..

You're not tweaking the settings nor over-clocking the motherboard, which is something impossible, anyway. Stop saying "over-clocking the Asus motherboard."

[Amatugold]

do you have to change the voltage of the processor or do you just increase the multiplier? Also, about cooling I just purchased a Dark Knight cooler by Xigmatek is that good enough to cool my processor when overclocking like this?

hello! what is max dram voltage because my shit gigabyte has only max 2.2v??

[sora778]

this an SLI board?

Not enough info... I have seen all of the board settings which are cool I think. but what processor did you use. I have this board and I have a Phenom II X3 720 processor... do you think I could get away with the same settings safely. I am also using Cooler master V8 for my cpu cooler and I have a Antec 1200 case with side panel and optional interior 120mm fans added. So I think that I have somewhat decent air cooling

what may be damaged with overclocking ?

and do you get warranty is smth happens =] ?

Nothing will get damaged with simple overclocking. But when you hit a wall with your default Voltage. YOu have to increase voltage to get a higher frequency, the voltage and the heat will damage your cpu, not overclocking it.
