Hi guys, thanks for this custom bios, how ever , after flashing it , I could not find the option of overclocking the cpu freqency , only the mulitplier was there . can someone enlighten me on this issue ? The only gripe I have against this FX6800 PC is its inability to overclock, If this is no longer an issue, I would be a very happy campter . TIA ! ! ! !

Hi TheWiz, I got the one on top of my post by 1234s282 . do you happen to work on one of your own ? TIA .

Yeah, the options for the multiplier and C-STATE tech is available, along with manually setting the RAM clock speed. No CPU overclocking available. I'm still quite impressed with the work done though!

[TheWiz]

Isn't the multiplier CPU overclocking?

[albertgao]

ok, I see thanks. multiplier is lock at 20x for our CPU - i7 920, we can under clock it by going lower but not higher. is there any bios that can unlock the BCLK and push it beyond 133 ?
Hey sherl0k, I set my ram to run at its original speed 1333, but it still shows 1066 , any ideas ?

[sherl0k]

TheWiz: The i7-920 has a stock multiplier of 20, which is what the value is set at by default. This value can be decreased, but not increased. To get a performance gain, the clock speed also needs to be adjusted.

albergao: The speed of the RAM in the FX6800 is 1066, not 1333. I didn't try overclocking the RAM.

Update:

I flashed the BIOS with the unlocked AM7700 BIOS, posted here and here since the motherboard is exactly the same, the only difference is the splash screen. Unfortunately I don't get any more options than before, just the multiplier, turbo boost, and c-state tech.

I'm led to believe that the BIOS itself just doesn't support overclocking of any sorts at all.
