👍👍

Just bumped the FSB while keeping an eye on the RAM timings... kept the increments to 5MHz at a time. Every time the system rebooted after a bump, I’d run a CPU stress test in Everest to monitor temps. Eventually hit the limit of what the motherboard would allow.

Bumped the Stock FBI and made sure the memory wasn't too aggressive... went up in 5MHz increments. Every time the PC rebooted after a bump, I'd run a CPU stress test in Everest to check temps. Eventually hit my motherboard's limit.

Everything's fine... why would I even look at that? Just pointing out an example because of Michael Chavez... why on earth is he seeing 6x

Here’s an example... when I check the proc IDLE, it shows a multiplier of 6x, but once it actually starts running, it jumps to 11x.

The RPM climbs if you're on stock settings... though SpeedFan works too.

I’m stopping here... wouldn't want to fry my GPU...

I know it's 🤣🤣, but it won't go over 266

Nah... I'm perfectly fine at 2.93

Harold Lopez31 said:The motherboard isn't great, no offense intended,👍 but try using Multi 10

I know. The board is junk, but it doesn't matter. Even a 10x multiplier won't help... the manual clearly states the limit is 266.

Harold Lopez31 said:What motherboard are you running? Is that processor 266x11?

Yeah, CPU is 11x266. Motherboard is a Gigabyte 946GMX-S2. I'm stuck with a 266 FBI max.

Here it is, all finished. link

Current stats: 3DMark at 10304, core clock 595MHz, shader 1350MHz, memory 837MHz, fan speed 88%...
Hit 90% and I was already losing my mind. It’s sitting at 2600 RPM right now.

wiredmarlin5 said:2 Kyle Sanchez4, not bad... though you underclocked that GPU... it could definitely go higher.

Quick update... dream achieved: hit 10,000 on 3DMark. 👍

Fan speed is sitting at 84% right now. I'll try pushing it to a tolerable 90% and let you know how it goes.

By the way, Everest is reporting it wrong: stock speeds should be 500MHz core and 800MHz memory (2x 800MHz).

Just so it doesn't look like I'm just sitting here talking without actually doing anything.
Here are the latest OC results.

You’ll need to adjust that in the settings... basically, just keep an eye on the clock while you're pushing the load, making sure the temps don't spike too high or start throwing artifacts on the screen.

I’m pretty sure I already gave you some advice regarding those 8400gs...

but I wouldn't touch Jesse Alvarez32 anymore

Not gonna happen. You're forgetting the 6800GT uses a different memory architecture..
