Overclocking E4300 Core 2 duo with Msi 945gm3-f motherboard

     I decided to build a machine for a client and tried to overclock this setup with no luck. Tried to adjust the fsb by about 25 mhz and the machine started to reboot and adjusted itself back to the default settings. Does anybody have any experience with overclocking this board, because evidently it does not support even moderate overclocking. I am not looking to get a radical overclock but maybe 2.4 ghz out of this. Right now the speed is 1.8 ghz. My board is running bios revision 5.3. Any help is appreciated.

First, please read the moan guide. Very little information you provide. NEed to know full system spec then to see what's the overclocking bottleneck.
2nd, building system for client, better to stick with default speed. Otherwise client blew up system and you held accountable.

  • MacBook Pro, OS 10.6.8/2.8 GHz/Intel Core 2 Duo/with 4 G memory and would like to hook up an external monitor.

    I have a MacBook Pro, OS 10.6.8/2.8 GHz/Intel Core 2 Duo/with 4 G memory and would like to add an external monitor.  I have the usual ports; 2 USBs, Ethernet, as well as a couple small ports that I do not know what they are for...  sorry .  First of all, is it possible to add a monitor or TV screen for a larger screen when using?  Secondly, if this can be done, what do I need to buy?
    Thanks so much!

    Yes, it should be possible. I think every MacBook Pro ever sold has some kind of port for an external monitor. You would have to nail down which kind of port your MBP has and where on your MBP it is located.
    Can you find the little "getting started" pamphlet, manual, or PDF that came with it? It should name the connectors.
    My guess? If the only ports you have besides USB and Ethernet are smaller than those, you could have a Mini DisplayPort.

  • Is it possible to upgrade the 10.5.8 OS on  a MacBook Pro with a 2.4 GHz/Intel Core 2 Duo with 2 GB of RAm to the latest OS?

    Is it possible to upgrade the 10.5.8 OS on  a MacBook Pro with a 2.4 GHz/Intel Core 2 Duo with 2 GB of RAm to the latest OS?

    The first step in Upgrading... is to Snow Leopard = OS X 10.6.x
    It is Not available as a download... It is a Paid Upgrade.
    Do this first...
    Check that your Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...
    Snow Leopard Tech Specs
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
    If so... Purchase a Snow Leopard Install Disc...
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    Other countries...
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
    After the Successful Install, run Software Update to get the latest updates for Snow Leopard.
    Be sure to make a Backup of your Current System Before Upgrading...
    Next... Check that your Mac meets the Requirements for Mountain Lion.
    Upgrade to Mountain Lion
    With Regard to ML...  Check here for compatibility of 3rd party Software you may be using... Also note that Rosetta is no longer supported in Lion and Mountain Lion...

  • I have a Macbook Model No A1181 2.4 GHz intel core 2 Duo with 4 Gb Ram. Should I be able to instal Final Cut Pro 3.0.2 cos I'm having problems?

    I have a Macbook Model No A1181 2.4 GHz intel core 2 Duo with 4 Gb Ram. Should I be able to instal Final Cut Pro 3.0.2 cos I'm having problems? As I read it My machine should be able to run the software.
    Thanks in advance

    You are trying to use software that is over 10 years old. As I read it, FCP 3.0.2 required 10.1 or higher at the time, but as FCP is reliant on quicktime, which has been updated many, many times, I doubt that you will ever get it to work properly.

  • Help with InDesign and using MacBook Pro with 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 2GB

    Have a Mac Book Pro running 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 2GB RAM is there anyway to use InDesign and if so what version would run on this machine and would I still be able to interface with a printer to produce a magazine?  Or is it possible to upgrade/gut this machine for a new processor and RAM, if that is even possible, and could I then run a CS program say 5.5?

    Thanks for all the help - it is confusing though. I tried to download the trial version of CS5.5 to explore before buying the student version and the program download froze. I have deleted the doadload assistant and spoke with Adobe who told me my machine would not be compatible unless I upgraded - maybe the RAM to 4GB.
    You got bad (wrong) advice.
    If the download didn't work, it has nothing to do with the performance characteristics of your machine. You could download CS5.5 on a low-end PC from 10 years ago, it doesn't take much.
    Unfortunately Adobe's download manager is a bit flakey. Best advice is to use Firefox and try the download again.
    It doesn't have anything to do with the power of your computer, be it speed, processor type, or RAM.
    Make sure you're using FIrefox (if not, download and install it first), and then try the download again.
    Also, the download manager depends on Java. Make sure you have Java installed (but I think you must, because otherwise the download would not have started?).
    If it still doesn't work, give us some more detail. Error message? Screenshot?

  • IMac 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 12gb of RAM running very very slow.

    My late 2010 iMac 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 12gb of ram is running very slow. It takes a very long for the computer to boot with the desktop taking ages to fully load. Applications are also taking an unholy amount of time to load with the spinning wheel always appearing through out use, and they often crash or don't respond and close during use. I'm talking applications like Word taking 3 minutes to load and getting the spinning wheel when font size is tried to be changed and crashing and closing if a large volume of text is attempted to be pasted into a document.The computer is also failing to shut down properly just staying on a blue screen. I recently wiped and completed a fresh install however the issues came back.
    As you can imagine after spending so much on the computer I'm not best pleased about these issue, I've spoken to the apple staff in my local store by they weren't very helpful and seemed to no little about computers and the so called "Genius" who I spoke to about my issue was a joke, repeating himself and talking utter rubbish, while I understand you need to look at a computer to get a real picture of an issue, some advice could of been provided. I haven't got time to take the computer to the store at the moment and get a technician to look a it, so I was wondering if anyone else had experienced these issues and knew what caused the fault, and that way if possible I can repair the issue myself.
    Thanks in advance for any help on the issue it’s much appreciated. At the moment I'm pretty close to ditching the thing and buying an Alienware!

    Hi,
    This is the compatibility list
    http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
    if your iMac is mid2007 or newer - yes.
    You will need to upgrade to 10.6 (Snow Leopard) first buy DVD from online apple store
    Then to 10.7 Lion - buy and download via Store App included in SL
    and then 10.8 Mountain Lion upgrade the same steps as Lion

  • Will 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 2GB 1067 MHz DDR3 running 10.7.5 supprt an upgrade to 10.8?

    Will 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 2GB 1067 MHz DDR3 running 10.7.5 support an upgrade to 10.8?

    It matters more as to what model your laptop is than when you bought it - buying it refurbished in 2011 means it is a 2010 or older model.
    Please click on the apple logo, then on about this Mac, and then on more info. After that, click on system report and report the model identifier for your laptop - it will show like this:
    And no, you will not be happy with the performance with 2 GB RAM in Mountain Lion. In order to figure out what your maximum RAM is, we need to figure out the model identifier.

  • Imac 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 2 GBs enough?

    Before I drop 5 bills of Logic 8, what kind of performance am I looking at with a Imac 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 2 gigs?

    Your machine is a whole bunch faster than the G5's most of us use, and 2 gigs should be fine. The only way you'll get a benefit from more than 2 gigs of ram is if you use other programs alongside Logic, or if you use lots of large EXS samples. Additional ram beyond 2 gig will not get you greater track count, more Space Designers (or any other plugins besides EXS) or lower latency. It will not get more instances or sample sizes for third party plugs used as AU within Logic. If you run third party plugs as rewire or standalone - separate from Logic - they will benefit from additional ram.
    I'm doing very well with a G5; additional drives and pci interface help alot. You should do even better with an Imac, although I don't know if it has a PCI slot.

    I tried adding more ram but the Mac would't even boot with 2x2GB installed. I figured that it was limited so I forgot about it. Wha's the advantage of adding it if it is not recognized?
    Chances are you either did not install or correctly or added the incorrect RAM.

    According to the Lion webpage, you would need to add more RAM to your computer and check to make sure you have about 7GB of free hard drive space.

  • Does FaceTime works with an iMac 2006 ? (intel 2Ghz Core 2 Duo with 3GB ram ?

    I have an IMac 2Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo with 2GB ram.  I have an Apple ID that is working properly for many years.  When I want to activate FaceTime, it gives me an error of ID.  I have checked my ID in iTune and it is fine.  What should I do ?
    My OS is Lion 10.7.1.

    It is sometimes very peculiar to observe the side effects of some systems settings, but this would be an odd 'fix' if it were to work. Aside from anything else, the energy saver settings impact the system only when it's running since they are integral to MacOS. It's difficult to imagine how these could affect the cold-booting of the machine - though it isn't impossible of course, in as far as changing the energy saving settings might impact on parameter RAM.
    However, even if it were to actually resolve this, you would need to switch back to the prior settings to make sure it remained 'fixed', since you hardly want a Mac that limits your choice of any settings that should be available to you.
    And while I think, it may actually be worth resetting PRAM as follows:
    -Shut down the computer.
    -Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in the next step but one.
    -Turn on the computer.
    -Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    -Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    -Release the keys.

  • I have a BookPro 15 2.2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 4 GB Ram, that's more slow after updating to X Lion 10.7.5

    Hello
    I have a BookPro 15 2.2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 4 GB Ram, that's more slow after updating to X Lion 10.7.5
    Is my hardware not good for this new OS ?
    Can I upgrade my computer to Mountain Lion OS  and make it faster ?

    Mountain Lion won't make it faster. It may not even be compatible.  Speed has a lot to do with what is installed, installation of utilities that actually slow you down, such as MacKeeper, or any cache cleaning softawre.  Installation of utilities that you don't need such as anti-virus or firewall software.  Peer2peer software.  Other devices sharing the same network can slow it down too, make sure your network is secure, and you know what is sharing the network.  Some websites may be slower on Safari, and an alternative browser* is needed.
