My head is spinning after spending a few weeks researching and overclocking my 3800+x2 s939.
I'm getting frustrated by the various guides I've found and not really understanding the parameters that will best take advantage of my rig.
Can someone please direct me to an EXCELLENT document on OCing my rig? Believe me I've searched hi and lo and the best I've come up with is from Madshrimps site (its' good but dated).
The best I've been able to do with my current setup is
CPU freq=281, Multiplier=x9, HT Link=3x or 841 (4x has no impact)
The best I get out of 3dmark06 is 3330, which doesn't seem very good when compared to other similar systems. But I don't know what else I can change to get better overall performace.
Any help would be appreciated.
P.S. I have an Operton 185 in the mail and will want to OC it as well, but I think I made a mistake in buying this CPU because my RAM is going to limit me. But if I buy new RAM could it be used for an Intel rig?
Thanks...
