1055t locked at 14 cpu ratio

[jchambers2586]

Is there a way to unlock the CPU ratio I just got a saber tooth 990fx mother board. I want to over clock the hell out of this CPU I got it to 3.8 GHZ on DDR 1333 DRAM will not go past 1443 MHZ with out not being able to boot to windows. I can move the ratio down but not up this is my first non black CPU. I have had this thing for a year now been running at 3.8 GHZ since this CPU was released. Sorry for the dumb question.

Well, you could fool around with the voltages, but, here's something that'll be a real help to you.
http://www.overclock.net/amd-cpus/884103-1055t-overclocking-guide.html

Check it out, it's very very helpful. I would just suggest that you have a good cooler(HSF) and a good PSU to go with it.
The rest is all pretty much by the book.

I have the cooling and power covered.

Yeah, the 1055T isn't BE <=> it isn't unlocked.

Your only choice is overclocking the reference clock. Set all your multipliers to lower than stock to eliminate factors other than the CPU to find its maximum OC. Then do the same to the other multis (RAM etc.)

The ram will not go lower than 1066 divider or Higher than the 1333 divider. basically my 1333 ram is limiting the over clock potential. I will try to over clock bulldozer on my current RAM and see what speeds it yields when bulldozer show up. I think I will stick to a unlocked CPU from now on. It's not picky about what speed of ram I use.

Did you try messing with the voltages? and what is the Max stable OC you're getting? @ What temps and what voltages?

DDR 1333 will easily change the way in 1600mhz with change divider / ratio, provided with BE CPU, FSB overclock is heavy, it requires a powerful of Ram, it will good for black edition cpu because oc multiplier + raise small fsb .. ha ha ha,
but basically if you ran at benchmark like Cinebench 11.5 scores win than 1090BE with the same
clock speed oc. 1055T faster .., but in cpu-z show off 1055T losses because stuck at fsb the ram and BE cpu win. I saw it in local overclock competition.
high fsb + low multiplier faster than low fsb + high multiplier.

for shits and grins I set the CPU voltage to 1.5 volts and ram to 1.8 volts and tried to boot faster then 1443 no go same voltages when tried to down clock the ram multiplier . After a no go I wen back to my stable 3.8 GHZ I have been running since I got the CPU. Her is the guide I fallowed I for got about the locked multiplier. I have been running these settings for about a year now.

My idle temps are 28C idle
My load temps are 45C
Cooler Noctua NH-D14

Ram 1.8v and vcore 1.5v at 3.8ghz , it's toooo high, ddr3 for overclock 1.6v - 1.65v and cpu voltage for 3.8ghz arround 1.44 - 1.45

By messing with the voltages I didn't mean you have to push them up all that high.
What is the Idea of watching a youtube tutorial? is something way beyond me. You need to read , understand and then try out the stuff.... not just watch some geek do it and then try it yourself.
Every chip on in the rig is different to another's who may have the identical stuff.
You have to start everything from it's least value and then pump it up step by step, actually, one setting is pumped up step by step till it reaches it's max, then the next setting is increased till it's max is achieved.
It's not like pressing a few buttons and jumping frequencies to the next level...
Read through the link I posted earlier, it'll give you a reference model to what you can attain and how.
There is no magical way as to just copy the same setting and get you rig to work the same way...

Get max speed clock without adding voltage and stable. It's first basic overclock

My ram is rated for 2 volts max I just wanted too see if it would post with those high voltages to make sure it was not a voltage problem. But the settings the guy did on you tube worked foe me it has been running stable at 3.8 GHZ for well over a year now. I would like to see how high this chip would go,
