Hello im a new user here and i recently bought a gigabyte motherboard.
During summer i bought myself a new motherboard, a gigabyte m52l-s3p along with alot of other components for a new computer build. Built this new computer primarily for better performance in video editing, choose the motherboard for its amd socket and the lack of built in videocard. Amd socket and ati card gives me stream and faster render in adobe premiere.
Im also a gamer and have become a bit curious in overclocking but i am very careful because i dont understand all of it yet.
Right now i have a corsair tx-650w, ati xfx 5770 direct x 11 graphics card, viper 4 gb memory dual 800 mhz and phenom II 720 black edition x3 2.8 ghz. Windows 7 64 bit rc installed. I also bought a cooler master storm scout case to get good air cooling, installed 2 120mm intake fans on the side. Have the one facing under the pci express to the sb chipset??? motherboard controlled, seems to give good cooling around in the case.
Well i have some random questions about this board?
First a question about the motherboard bios. Ive upgraded to bios version F4 for this motherboard. My motherboard is rev 1.0 and i choose the 1.0 file from gigabytes website. When i check cpu-z it doesnt state revision it only says revision am3 or but on other bios versions it said rev 1.0. Is the f4 bios corrupted should i use a different bios. I use qflash. I am very careful with flashing, i had a msi board before that was suercomplicated to flash.:) And i grew up during the dos era so i can take precautions.:)
The latest bios for this mb is also pretty old, bios for 1.2 is newer. Can i flash rev 1.2 bios on this motherboard what is the difference between rev 1.0 and 1.2?
Ive been trying overcklocking, not touching anything without proper knowledge. What i understand is that on a black edition amd processor you can raise the multiplier on stock cooler to maximum of 3.2 ghz and be safe as long as it doesnt overheat. I have raised the multiplier to x15 now to 3.0 ghz and it seems stable. Havent changed anything else, because im not sure what the settings do.:) Do i need to change any voltage or something else when i did this? I have amd cool n quiet enabled.
Ati overdrive from ccc seems to become unstable when i overclock cpu, tearing/flickering in gaming works fine on stock in CCC. Does anyone know why? Does it have to do with voltage?
Is it safe to run this cpu overclock and not change anything else? All other settings are optimized defaults set to auto and so on.
Is there anything else i can do to be safer and increase performace in gaming and work?
Thanks.
