ive just overclocked my system a little bit From

ORG: 2211 201x11 800mhz fsb

To

OC: 2234 203x11 812mhz fsb

is it a good thing that the FSB is going up too ??
(My mobo has locks on the DIMM,PCI slots)

plz look at my sig for system status

I`m a bit of a noob at OC`in !!
Any recommendations ?

cheers steve
 
I`ve read the oc 101
But i made my self clear on saying im a NOOB ??
thats why im asking for help ??

i don`t really understand it so its a bit of trial and error for me !
my ram is pc3200 and i have it running at DDR400
should i knock the ram down to DDR333 so i can OC the CPU more ??
 
if they dont have fsb, then why does CPU-Z and the BIOS tell you what there FSB is? and if they dont have an FSB, then what do you overclock? i upped my fsb from 200 to 255.
 
cool now im getting some where
my ram is, Corsair 1GB DDR XMS3200XL Pro TwinX (2x512MB) CAS2
and at the min my status is

11 x 203 core 2233mhz 812 fsb

is this ok for my ram ??
 
AMD's bus is called Hypertransport. I dont understand the details of how it works, but people still call it the FSB.
 
dont you mean Intel dont have fsb?

No, i mean what i said

Whether its intel or amd, you never overclock by increasing the fsb, in fact you cant directly up the fsb, its a scaler multiple of the core clock. Due to intel marketing the fsb has become synonymous with core clock, but its still wrong. FSB is not the same as core clock.

wait........ i thought EVERYTHING has fsb?

Nope,

Intel use fsb, but due to amds use htt
i quote cpu101
Implemented on AMD K8 series processors, this is, for all intents and purposes a bidirectional FSB but is clocked significantly higher. The base clock for the HyperTransport is 200MHz and the multiplier's go up to five. Factor in the principle of DDR and you get a maximum net effective hypertransport clock of 1000MHz (2000DDR). Naturally, marketers will often write this as FSB1600 or FSB2000 however this is incorrect as the actual clock speed is still half of that (marketers forget that DDR only means "effective") and that HyperTransport and Front-Side-Bus are mutually exclusive. Intel platforms do not have support for HyperTransport.

hmmm, i better have a read over cpu101 incase theres something else i missed

EDIT: Did they start going with htt with the A64's, because cpu-z is telling me fsb.
