Post Your Overclock! [2]

Dude said:

That is a good looking card. I'm thinking about cheaping out and sli'ing with another 660, always wanted to try it

Once you start doing that any new GPU your going to want two of

it's not the same going from one to two when I first crossfired 2x 6870s man I fell in love

the performance was sick and that was a mid range card too

Okay guys, here is what I'm doing, looking for advice here. Here are my current bios settings. From here I change to enable adjust cpu ratio in OS save and reboot and use MSI control center. I have changed the multiplier to 52, and the cpu vcore to between 1.36 and 1.39. Im using sa @.970, PLL @1.84, I/O @ 1.07 CPU core expander to enhanced. Any reccomendations on changes?

No clue Doug.........never dealt with MSI boards before. Well, not for overclocking anyway.

Yeah, I should get an ASUS, or make a ASUS to MSI translator. I like being the lonewolf MSI guy here though

That`s why I no longer use my MSI board

I never understood why the OC Genie didn`t make the necessary adjustments for you when I tried to go over 4.4 GHz. I thought that was the whole purpose of the software.

But you`re the one who got me to 4.8 on my MSI board, so if there`s anyone here who can figure it out, it`s you

Yeah, if you could have hung you could have got 5.0 .. OC genie was only made to get 4.2 on Z77, the newer generation goes to 4.6. I never used it, prefer to do it myself

I may not know much, but I know the Sabertooth BIOS pretty well lol.....some of the settings/skills are transferable but some aren't.

It's a different language in MSI. We in ASUS don't have "vdroop offset", unless it's just "offset mode. I've not seen "OCP expansion" before.

I know for one when I had my GD-80 Board PLL does nothing for over clocking leave it alone

you should have APS active phase management

You will need to use the MSI Control Center software to go further

If you can't get anymore out of the board in the bios

Ya, there are way too many settings you can change on the MSI boards.
