Overclocking and stability

As regards overclocking, I am repeating it again that the current version of the BIOS is somehow restricted in its capabilities. The user gets the feature for adjusting the multiplier (which works only towards the reduction, as we know).


the feature for selecting the HTT speed (or FSB).


The HTT adjustment range varies within 200 to 320 MHz. Besides, the user can raise voltage on the processor within 0.8V to 1.55V in 0.025V increments.



The board does not support features like adjustment of voltage on the memory, chipset, and the PCI Express bus. Nor there is a feature for adjusting the HyperTrasport bus speed, which somehow confused me. However, practical tests in overclocking have shown that we don't need to worry about - the board was running fine up to HTT = 274MHz.


Evidently, the HT multiplier is set up automatically (but it's quite probable that in future BIOS versions it will be there as a separate parameter).

A few words on the power supply module in Tul AX480A-GF which uses a 3-phase scheme and has six 3300 mkF and four 1500 mkF capacitors.
