Oc.

It doesn't seem that many people even bother looking at the overclocking forums so, I'm posting here.

This is my build.

In my Bios, Under advance tab

Memory timing and voltage:
Memory clock mode
[Manual]
[Auto]

Memclock value
[400MHz]
[533MHz]
[667MHz]
[800MHz]

When I set the clock mode to auto what does it set to, 400MHz??
If so, this means my memory is 400MHz???
If not, what is it???

If Auto is 400MHz by default, Would it be safe to set it any higher??

I might be wrong but I'm guessing it works like this
1066 = 400MHz
1333 = 533MHz
1600 = 667MHz
1800 = 800Mhz


While I'm at it i may as well ask, What other kind of overclocking could i do safely??

I Have GPU Nos and AOD
Also the OC options in bios for GPU and CPU
But as for my CPU, I don't believe i need to OC it, It does fine the way it is.

 

Don't OC myself, but depending upon your motherboard, you may be able to do some changes to your CPU.
Important to take it slowly in small stages and let run for a while to see if stable. NOT something to rush into and make lots of changes all at once.(unless looking to kill your machine).

 

Nah I deff don't wanna kill it lol, Took me forever to come up with the little bit of cash to build this thing, I am really curious about my memory clock though. I have played with AOD and GPU nos a bit though.

 

Thread moved to the correct forum for a more appropriate response.

Your links are not working for me in the OP. Can you list the parts in your build, and maybe add a new link?

And safe, and overclock don't really go together. You take a risk when you do it. There are relatively safe methods to overclocking, but, general rule is if you can't afford to fry it, don't overclock it. Just what I go with. YMMV. :-D

 

400 MHz = DDR2 800 = PC2 6400
533 MHz = DDRx 1066 = PCx 8500 (I think you can get DDR2 or DDR3 at this speed)
667 MHz = DDR3 1333 = PC3 10600
800 MHz = DDR3 1600 = PC3 12800

If you have DDR2 800, then 400 MHz is correct.

Sorry for not posting back sooner...

 

From what i read here, My ram being 8500 means that it's 533mhz, Meaning if i set my memclock in bios to 533mhz That would be fine, But that's probably what it defaults at when setting memclock on auto, right?
