does anyone Overclock with the FSB anymore?

[glitchmaster0001]

Hi so i was wondering does anyone overclock using the FSB way anymore or is that just too much of an old school way to overclock. if any of you guys overclock using the FSB please comment down below. also what is the advanatge of OCing using the multiplier opposed to the old FSB style? 

[Remmi2002]

Can you tell us what an FSB is

lol should i add a poll option on this thread as well?

I think thats yoyr answer op

Yes, thats really old school.  So much so that apparently some people dont ever remember it from 10 years ago

[Remmi2002]

Could do. Works for counting

I FSB overclock on older systems, although I hear that AM3+ systems see better performance with FSB overclocking so I plan on giving it a try.

[glitchmaster0001]

ok i updated the thread and added a poll.

whats the advantage of OCing with the multiplier opposed to using the older FSB method?

Front Side Bus.

Modern systems do not have an FSB, so it cannot be overclocked.

So the front of the bus like school bus and it on the side?

but dont they have something that works like the FSB? like the BCLK? 

[NumLock21]

Grandpa OC is done by setting them dip switches or jumpers on the motherboards.

Well there is the BCLK, but it doesn't work like the FSB. Also, on many platforms the BCLK has very little headroom for overclocking.

Easier, just up the multi and go, no need to fiddle around with the RAM and NB freqs(among other things). Because of this, you also remove potential bottlenecks(like a poor quality NB, mobo, etc.) holding you back, which theoretically gives you a higher OC. Then again, someone on this forum beat my multiplier 8320 OC with only using the FSB, so it really depends on the hardware.

Yes.  I used to overclock with FSB and now I do with BLCK.  I use a combination of both.  Depending on what I'm trying to do, I'll set the multiplier at whatever I need it at and fine tune with BLCK.  Doing so also overclocks your memory so it allows you to dial in the most out of your OC.

Add one more option for "OC by Multiplier AND BLCK"

i surprisingly got a Phenom ii x6 1055t on an old 760g chipset board to 3.5Ghz stable using the FSB just recently.

I've had mixed results with FSB overclocking. On AMD systems with cheap/crappy boards, I've gotten 1+Ghz on most of my AM3 chips, but then on LGA 775 and 1366 systems I struggled to get a decent OC out of them.

really? i seen some insane OCs with LGA 1366 CPUs on X58 motherboards, like the Xeon X5650 can achieve crazy overclocks if paired with an X58 board and a decent cooler. the highest OC ive seen on a X5650 was 4.8GHz.

Those damn dividers will get you every time.

The bclk changes everything including ram and pci-e multiplier just changes CPU making it simpler

[agent_x007]

1) FSB is dead (no company wants RAM to be connected to CPU via chipset)
2) BCLK OC will OC internal modules of CPU (Cores, L3/L4 Cache, IMC, etc.)
Sometimes U may need to increase voltage on them to make that BCLK req. stable.
3) Different BCLK/FSB frequency = different base for Memory frequency.
^That is a good thing if U for eample don't have enough multipliers for RAM (like jump from 1866 to 2133 is quite big on BCLK 100MHz, BUT U can adjust that by upping BCLK to 125MHz, which changes frequency on "standard" 1600MHz multiplier, from 1600MHz to 2000MHz + gives U 2333MHz option - not possible with 100MHz BCLK).

PS. 50%+ FSB OC on Pentum D type CPU :

Not on skylake chipsets

Exactly.  That's why I use a combination of both.  I'll take my multiplier as high as I want to go and then dial in the finer overclock with BLCK in order to bump memory slightly.  It also lets you get the 1-99 extra MHz out of the CPU.
