Running FSX at 4ghz was getting at least 30-70 FPS, but this was with PPL on auto (1.8v), but when I overclocked to 4.2ghz and used a manual PPL of 1.6v, my FSX FPS went to 8-20FPS. So true enough the manual adjusting of PPL did reduce my FPS a shitload, I know this because I went back to 4ghz on auto ppl and FPS was restored. So: 1)why did this happen? 2)the ppl allowed me to achieve a higher o/c with increased stabilty but clearly isnt worth it if I want to play FSX, my only other alternative is to use insane amounts of vcore to get higher clock whilst increasing ingame FPS?
Was it actually stable @ 4.2Ghz? Would be my first question to your questions and generally to find increased stability from the pll it either needs to be alot lower than stock, which is usually around 1.8v, my CPU for instance likes around the 1.3/1.35 range, or they need alot more, like 2v sort of area also try having a fiddle with the VTT, see if that helps, try something around the 0.9 range
Yea batman, ran IBT on max RAM and completed all tests no problem. So I have now reverted back to 4ghz on auto PPL. any chance you do run me through a few other tweaks I could do to get this up, if so that would be great
Insane amount of vcore? What are you running now to get 4.2GHz? Have you tired increasing the POH voltage by .1V That helped with my more aggressive overclocks.
