OCing a 2p/4p G34

Hi guys, I've built a 2p g34 folding system that I want to OC, and I know if anyone has the answers it's you . I've seen several mentions and screenshots of OC's here on these forums and I suppose I took for granted it would be easier.

I'm running 2x 6174 on a Tyan S8230GM4NR and I only found memory timings options in the BIOS, so figured it must be done in software. That's when I found mention of along with screenshots of a program called PhenomMsiTweaker I believe it was called. Is this the right direction? Anything at all pointing me in the right direction would be very appreciated, thanks. Good lord how do you guys do a 50% OC on these chips???LOL
 
You should get in the IRC channel and ask as it's not as simple as OCing a regular i7 or AMD processor.

Unfortunately, Tyan boards can't be overclocked. We have only been able to control the clockgen chip on SuperMicro boards. Even then, it is 12.5% max. Let's keep the rumors in check... :)

oops....I didn't notice the Tyan board :( my bad.
 
Actually I think what I might have gotten confused about was the "ES" chips, I guess that's engineering samples? This is my first plunge into server equipment and I had always thought OCing servers in general was uncommon to begin with. Well I appreciate your clearing that up guys, thanks.

Yes, we have seen ES chips OC to 50%, because they have unlocked multipliers. The supermicro boards only allow for a 12.5% overclock at this time. I dont have any personal experience with the overclocking procedure, but it is fairly involved and a guide wont help.
 
If it's anything like how I OC'ed my dual Socket F, I imagine it involves manually setting the clockgen speeds using RW-Everything.

Sounds similar, it probably has quite a bit of similarities to G34. Speaking of socket F, have any words of wisdom for a folder currently running socket F? :p

I see your 8P Tyan board also uses a Nvidia chipset, which is good news since AFAIK that's the only Socket F chipset that is overclockable. I used this guide here to go from 1800 MHz to 2080 MHz, which is a respectable 15% overclock, I suppose.

Oh man, you are making me smile Bwang! I will look into it. 15% is not bad at all! If the system can handle it, that would be 2.76 Ghz... oh my!

Crap.... If you set things in Windozes, would the settings be preserved across a soft boot?

not for bus....for nb yes... if it's i2c can be accessed we can overclock it from linux... just not pretty...
