    lol ok then well hopefully it does the job :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,754 ✭✭✭savemejebus


    with the saving you made on that ram :shakes fist:, you could consider upping your processor to the opty 146. That way you could run your machine at 2.5ghz without using a divider, as opposed to (i think) 2.25 with the opty 144

    *note I could be talking out my arse as i'm rather new to overclocking

    i was gonna order the 146 but the experts ;) said there was no point lol!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,274 ✭✭✭commited


    There is a point to the 146, it's just not as much of a bargain as the 144 :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,371 ✭✭✭Irishpimpdude


    Thanks Commited :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,371 ✭✭✭Irishpimpdude

    Search thru the BIOS for FSB adjustment


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,371 ✭✭✭Irishpimpdude

    Memory frequency is your friend :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,371 ✭✭✭Irishpimpdude


    what should i set it too? lol as u know im new to overclocking


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,141 ✭✭✭masteroftherealm


    Bump it up 2mhz at a time from std restarting each time till you get it so that the machine aint crashing when u restart. This will take time. Lots of time.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,371 ✭✭✭Irishpimpdude


    I can't do that it has set amounts
