@PCWIZKID

I have 1600 Mushkin Redline at 7-7-7-18 default. I've changed the timings to the default no problem. However my machine will not allow me to run at 1600MHz, only 1333MHz. When I try 1600MHz I get boot failure. Any suggestions?

@BohleyK, you cannot run the memory at 1600  setting its a limitation of the AMD CPU, so instead set it to 1333 and increase the North bridge frequency to like 2200Mhz+ and that will increase your memorys performance.

If i have an Intel Core i7 920 can i follow the exact same steps but change the Bus Speed so my clock speed is at 3.8 GHz ???

@rahmanroni thanks I appreciated

i know that increasing the front side bus results in a dynamic overclock. it overclocks the cpu, bus speed and ram speed. ok so i lower the mulitplier on the ram to 1333. on my board there are 4 settings. for 1333 the multiplier is 6.66. for 1600 it is 8. is it possible to type in an exact number in this box? i need something in between, maybe a 7.

My BIOS only says Main Advanced Boot and some other stuff but nothing like yours!!Please help!!!

is there any motherboards that you have to do overclocking on the motherboard with switches?

[rahmanroni]

@serkenshin I would imagine you could get something like 4.7 GHz with good cooling and have it be stable. I'm not too experienced at overclocking, but that should be a pretty decent estimate. Search on google or tomshardware with your processors name and you should find some pretty good tutorials.
