First Time Overclocker

[Cyb3rGlitch]

Hmm. If it's the stock push-pin cooler it shouldn't move much. How much force do you have to apply to move it?

[dextras]

I may try to take a video of me attempting to put it in a bit later lol. We'll see. I attempt to push the opposite corners in at the same time and then twist but one always pops out. I'll try later tonight as I need to study for a maths test first :(

Ok I got the cooler better hooked on and it idles at 35 degrees. Running an OCCT test takes it to a max of 58 degrees. Good or not so good?

[Cyb3rGlitch]

You should be able to get a small overclock.

[dextras]

Ok sounds good. What should I target etc then?

[Cyb3rGlitch]

Try 224MHz FSB and a 12.5x multiplier.

[dextras]

I finally got around to doing it :) So I went to 224MHz. Here's the CPU Z before and after

EDIT: A few questions. I couldn't find the multiplier setting at all in the bios.

EDIT2: I did an OCCT test and here's the result

EDIT 3: The computer just randomly crashed. I only had google chrome open at the time. It went straight to a blue screen with white writing then it restarted within a few seconds so I changed what I changed back to what it was at

[Cyb3rGlitch]

So the OCCT test only went for a minute? You'll need to run it for an hour or so.

Since the computer crashed, I think it's safe to say it wasn't stable. Try increasing the CPU voltage to 1.35v.

[dextras]

That's the thing I can't find any settings except the FSB. Where are they? The FSB wasn't even under Frequency/Temperature Control section. I'll see if I can get some screen shots/take a photo or 2

[Cyb3rGlitch]

Hmm, yeah, post screenshots.

[dextras]

Ok here we go. I'm surprised how they turned out. Reasonably good and it's using the camera on the e71 :)

Main Bios menu
Cell menu
Cell menu but scrolled down a bit

[Cyb3rGlitch]

In that 'Cell menu' (3rd screenshot) there's a list of voltages. Can you alter them?

Try pressing F1 at the main menu if not.

[dextras]

No I can't. I'll have a further look tomorrow. Time for bed :( / :)

[dextras]

Ok so I found where I can adjust the CPU voltage. What should I put voltage wise and FSB? (a small overclock to start with)

[Cyb3rGlitch]

224MHz FSB and a 12.5x like I said before.

Try a voltage of 1.35v.
