Re: 💻 What’s the First App You Install on a Fresh Windows Machine?

If you raise it, you raise the overall speed of the system including your CPU. Your RAM runs at the system bus speed unless you employ a FSB:RAM ratio. If you don't want to overclock your RAM, use this ratio to keep your RAM running at 200MHz … Re: tweaking my amd 64 Hardware and Software Hardware by rcrevolution how do i get it up to 1600Mhz? Re: tweaking my amd 64 Hardware and Software Hardware by szukalski Get what up to 1600MHz? You mean the processor at 2600MHz? The system bus has a max of about 297MHz.. CPU speed = system bus x multiplier (2400 = 200 x 12) So you could increase your system bus to ~217MHz to get your cpu running at 2600MHz (2600 = ~217 x 12) but this raises the issues of your RAM which I stated before, in which you have two … Re: tweaking my amd 64 Hardware and Software Hardware by rcrevolution why does amd say the FSB on the amd is 1600Mhz Re: tweaking my amd 64 Hardware and Software Hardware by Catweazle The clockspeed is 200MHz. Data is 'quad-pumped' making that an effective 800MHz bus. Data flows in two directions concurrently making that an effective 1600MHz dataflow. It's already at that rate, so you don't have to do anything to get it there ;) Re: tweaking my amd 64 Hardware and Software Hardware by szukalski The 1600MHz figure you're talking about is the speed at which the chip communicates with the memory, the HTT. But your RAM still runs at the speed of the system bus. The bus speed of the K8 chips (AMD 64) is 200MHz(200,000 clock cycles per second), and they send two sets of instructions per clock cycle so the implemented bus speed is 400MHz, even … Re: tweaking my amd 64 Hardware and Software Hardware by rcrevolution I have a question sometimes my windows media player takes like 2 secs to open others it takes 20 secs, is that part of the cool and quite technology? and can I disable cool and quite with out harming the cpu? Re: tweaking my amd 64 Hardware and Software Hardware by szukalski You can disable cool'n'quiet without harming the cpu. In fact, if you want to do any overclocking, you NEED to disable this.
