Overclocking Via DOT - I have concerns!

Hello, ive allways been aware of what overclocking is, so i dont need any explainations about it, but im not really sure about the requirements and safe zone of overclocking. My question is if i use the DOT feature of the BIOS/ Mainboard would my computer be safe? My specs are in my signature. I just want to juice out a little more performance from my CPU since im a gamer, but i want to make sure it wont mess up my rig!

Hi Spiiriitus, & welcome to the forum. Since your thread is in the bios section, the moderators will probably move it to the 'Overclocker's & Modding Corner' of the forum. In my experience, OC'ing the system has always been more successful with D.O.T. disabled & changing settings & voltages manually.

  • Help! Can't overclock via CPU Ratio (multiplier) with K7T266 Pro (MS-6380)?

    I have a Athlon 1.2 GHz (266 MHz FSB) that I'm trying to overclock via the clock multiplier on my K7T266 Pro (MS-6380) mobo.
    Right now the CPU ratio is set to Auto in the Hardware Monitor in the BIOS, but I know that it's using a clock multiplier of 9 (9 x 133 Mhz = 1197 Mhz, which is about 1.2 Ghz)
    The only way that I can overclock this CPU is by increasing the FSB above 133 MHz.  That works, but I'd like to avoid that as the USB no longer works when the FSB is past 138 MHz (i.e. I can't OC higher than 1242 MHz through the FSB)
    If I set the clock multiplier above 9 (ex: 9.5, 10, etc.) nothing happens.  I reboot and my CPU is still at 1.2 GHz.  Its as if I can't OC by increasing the CPU ratio.  I'd like to set it to 10 and run at 1.33 GHz but I can't.  Why is that?
    If I lower my CPU ratio below 9, then the computer freezes up totally at bootup and I have to clear the CMOS to get it working again.
    THANKS!

    Hi,
    You need to unloack the CPU, search google for closing L1 Bridges, then you can set it to anything you want

    If you can't do this on a computer, which would be much easier using drag and drop, then you will need to share the contacts with yourself in order to move them to the iCloud account.

  • CS6 - Can't drag object to new layer via dot

    I can't seem to drag a selected object to a different layer via the colored dot in the Layers palette in CS6.
    I've been doing that since I can remember. Is there some new CS6 default setting I'm missing?

    It is everything to do with compound paths - all other objects, as long as they do not contain a "partial compound path" will copy or move between layers, just fine, using the click and dragging of the small square icon in the layers palette.
    I have this issue - and it looks like no resolution is forthcoming from Adobe (the issue is over a year old on this forum). I called their tech support but am told that because we use 3rd party fonts and 3rd party plugins (Esko prepress system) they will not offer support for the product (call me crazy - but every printer on the planet is using 3rd party fonts - crazy as that may sound!!! - Wacky printers).
    This is not a 3rd party issue however - it is a change from CS5 to CS6 in how the software handles copying between layers in the layers palette or how compound paths in general are now addressed in CS6. They cannot tell me if a change exists. I sort of just would like to know...
    For now, I will need to select the partial compound path - copy the object - deselect the object  - move to my target layer - paste in place, to accomplish the same end result.
    NEXT VERSION WISH: make it selectable how this behaves - lock partially selected compound paths - or allow partial compound paths to be moved/copied between layers. aarrgghhh.

  • Should I have concerns about the integrity of Best Buy's Mac sales?

      I bought my iMac OS X, Early 2008 Model from a Best Buy store. I was a naive & pensive 1st time [ever] PC buyer. The sales [kid] led me to an iMac that had been returned, and referred to it as an "open box sale." I was re-assured the Mac had been completely "wiped clean of all..." After setting it up at home, I found out different; and the previous owner had it for 4 months! Earlier at B.Buy the sales kid told me after asking "why was it returned?" His reply, "Because the screen was too big." His answer certainly didn't make sense to me then, or when I discovered [at home] that it took the 1st owner [him] so long to decide it wasn't what he wanted. So I packed up my Mac & returned to the B.Buy store to have everything cleared.
      I knew I had a lot of trial & error lessons on my hands, not being a computer literate person, but evidently I like a good challenge; and that it has been! No complaints; at first I was concerned about 'doing something wrong'. I was re-assured by the Geek Squad, "You can't harm it; just explore your Mac to get to know it." Well, needless to say, not being able to follow instructions in Owner's Manuals, I'm more of a "slowly SHOW me HOW TO, and what's what" type of learner. I had to Google everything pertaining to PC terminology, steps on how to download & install, files, folders, using delete/trash, keeping all in place/order and NOT duplicating [and which one to keep if I did!] Please don't think I'm stupid; my Mac has been properly stored for 6 years, minus 8 months. I was not in the position in my life to have it set up in a secure environment. Since Jan 2014, my Mac & I have spent many hours, equalling weeks & months face-to-[screen] face!
      I've had many problems since installing OS X Mavericks 10.9.4; and was very apprehensive updating due to the many unfavorable Reviews I had been researching. But I couldn't keep ignoring Apple's repeated recommendations of keeping every item updated. So I eventually found my way to all info, ON ONE PAGE! Yipee! I could not believe what I was reading! Even though I was aware my APPLE apps, plug-ins, utilities, etc. were not auto updating [set to do so]. I FINALLY found my Mac's PROBLEM. My main software, Snow Leopard (10.6.8) is GROSSLY OUTDATED! I totally spaced that due to my Mac being packed away for so long. So I'm working on that. I'M SHARING all MY INFO hoping to help other's who are at my technical level. SO all YOU COMPUTER WHIZZES can SCOFF, GIGGLE all YOU WANT . I take no offense, I'm kidding ☀️. 
      BUT!! Since learning how & where to navigate through the system's files & such, and seeing documents, folders and files that strike me as odd, I have a NAGGING ITCH something is there from the ORIGINAL OWNER. He CREATED SOMETHING, a way into my system, CURRENTLY. I've had to Google 'plist names', and with the help of a very longtime good Facebook friend in New York State, I am learning more from his knowledge & advice. ALL my APPLE security settings are set-up, deny's & allows, and I'm not downloading Videos from MeTube , or anywhere else for that matter. I only download SAFE game apps, and I'm the ONLY user. ANY IDEAS or SUGGESTIONS COMP WHIZZES? Besides updating my software; I'm just trying to find out [on that subject] if I have to buy, download/install all Software Programs of past to be able to run the current OS X Mavericks? Which I read already has a 10.9.5 version. I wanted to become a part of the "Preview Program" for Yosemite; but nope, I cannot! 
    REASONS for MY PREVIOUS OWNER Concerns: My system got so bad, while attempting to Chat on fb w/one friend; every letter I typed, the rainbow ball would spin forever, highlight & delete partial words, and would totally crash. I downloaded an anti Virus app for Mac; scanned my system [took forever]; ending w/a report of 55 VIRUSES!! Many files could not be scanned too. My Mac HD Encrypted Logical Partition Drive un-mounted at least two times, and there's one too many files than there should be. But the file name was not shown, only that the count is off. HELP?

    While I am no fan of Best Buy and would not buy a lightbulb from them I doubt you issues have anything to do with your iMac and more to do with your lack of experience and simply getting bad advice. Judging by you post I suspect you have loaded your computer down with a lot of crapware and that  has caused it's problems. For example running antivirus apps on a Mac not only is a waste of time, it's a waste of money, system resources and will eventually create more problems that it solves. Please begin educating yourself on the subject by reading Thomas Reeds articles on the subject, Thomas is a frequent and knowledgeable contributor to these forums. You can find his webpage at http://www.reedcorner.net/tech-guides/
    The good news is here are absolutely no, zero, zippo viruses for OS X. There are other types of malware available (for example trojans) however they differ greatly from viruses in that the use has to download and install them, whereas viruses do not work that way. OS X is not like MS Windows and is extremely secure.
    My suggestion at this point would be to clean your computer of the crapware (including antivirus apps) however before doing so please download and install EtreCheck and post its report. Then we can see how your computer has been configured and begin to give you some advice on the next steps.

  • Can connect via ethernet cable, have good Airport signal but no connection

    Hey folks,
    Pesky problem. I'm trying to connect to my wireless airport extreme basestation and having problems. Everythings hooked up correctly and if I plug the ethernet cable from the modem directly to the powerbook it works fine. The odd thing is that my computer sees the base station, it has good signal, and it tells me I'm connected to the internet via airport.
    Why then can I not actually acess it? Any thoughts?...it's comcast high-speed in case that matters.
    Cheers,
    Sean

    Sean,
    ---- I was trying to get a link to another similar thread, where one of the experts (I'm not one of them) made some recommendations, but I can't seem to find it.
    ---- Is your Network Preferences selected for Airport as well as ethernet, and is Airport at the top of the list? Anyway, the fact that your direct connection PB to modem is working fine, may be the very thing causing your problem. The modem looks for the PB (MAC address?). So, you can do an hardware reset, or if not then unplug it for a good while (not tooggle the power on & off, but I think I saw someone even recommend overnight). Shutdown the AEBS & PB.
    ---- Then after you powerup the modem & it connects with the ISP (it takes just a short few minutes, you can watch the lights), then power up the airport, then after its connected up to the modem (again, a few minutes, you can watch the lights), bootup the PB.
    ---- I wish that I could have found the other thread for you, as the experts do an extremely better job of this.

  • The efax doesn't work in my HP Photosmart eStation. I can print via wifi and have internet

    I just purchased a HP Photosmart eStation.  I can print fine from my computers and can see the internet via yahoo on the Zeen.  I have an efax account and in settings it states that my "account status is currently up to date".  However, when I type a fax number in (or any number) and press continue, I hear a sound indicating the button's been pressed and then nothing.  If i enter in additional digit, then the SW knows that I have entered in an additional digit.  Also for whatever reason, the "Installing Update" deosn't work either.  I've tried it multiple times.  It seems like it's working, but then I get an error message "Product Update Error"  A time tine out has occurred while waiting for your printer to be updated.  Finally, on the System Notification Page, it states the SD card is removed (do I have an SD card)?  Do I need one?  It also states Syncing Networks (Do not undock while syncing)-- it's said this for >24 hours.
    Thanks

    I am literally on my 4th E-station printer.  My problem arises when I update the Zeen tablet software.    Upon doing so, the printer icon disappears from the Zeen tablet.   When I try to use certain features, it states that I must dock the Zeen tablet (which is already done) and sync.  Which I can not do because the printer does not recognize that the Zeen tablet is docked.  I did a factory restore, which rendered the Zeen tablet useless - the 'continue' button on the tablet in the Wizard setup is grayed out and I can not continue.  I brought it back today and it was replaced with yet ANOTHER.  i do not recommend updating the sofware.  It is what is causing all of my problems.  I inadvertantly did it this time and regret it.  I have advised everyone in my house NOT to update my Zeen tablet.  Thankfully I bought the black tie protection when I bought the printer.  Although - HP did send me a replacement once, but it was a huge hassle - and that one is the one I just had to replace yet again

    My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now.  About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

  • Importing vinvl albums via garage band have to import tunes individually .tunes willnot recombine into one album. I understand that it is because data available on cd's is not present on vinyl..any clues on how to fix this?

    mac version 10.9.4.
    importing vinyl albums via garage  band. Have to import tunes individually as tunes will not retain individusl otherwise.  trouble is they will not rejoin as one album in iTunes.I understand it is because data available on cd's is not on vinyl imports . Any clues on how to fix this?

    "Have to import tunes individually as tunes will not retain individusl otherwise."  -- I don't understand this sentence.
    iTunes will not assign track names to items imported from vinyl.  You will have to label the files yourself in the Get Info window.  As long as you give all the tracks on an album the same album information and the same artist information they should group together.  if the artists differ then you need to give all the tracks one common album artist (often "Various Artists")in addition to individual track artist.

  • About to order X301 and dock. Have concerns

    I am going to order the X301, with 128 SSD, DVD-R/W, XP, and Verizon WWAN. Plus I am adding the USB Dock. Sometimes too much research can be a bad thing. I am now having second thoughts that the system will run as advertised.
    Specifically, I am concerned about the Verizon WWAN not being able to connect. I already have a Verizon wireless account, so I will need to transfer that to the X301. There were many posts about problems with this. Does anyone know if this has been fixed?
    Second, I have read of all sorts of problems with the display. I will be using a HP w2207h monitor, with a DisplayPort to HDMI adaptor, and am concerned about getting a quality display.
    I have been a long time ThinkPad user, but strayed with my last purchase. I thought coming back to a ThinkPad would reduce the computer problems I am having with a non-ThinkPad, but am wondering if the quality of the product has slipped in the last 2 years?
    Any advice on whether I should look at a different ThinkPad model, or stick with the X301 would be appreciated.

    No dock, i just use the machine when i get on site in the mine, it has 3G and GPS integrated system, great little machine, but it is bit dirty due to all the dusts. In the office i have my own T61 and X60, which i brought along for this trip. 
    I am using the X301 right now.

  • HT5704 Hi, Two recent updates for my iPhone have caused crashes (down the white lead via iTunes).I have "fixed" but not sure of the cause?

    Hi,
    Two recent updates for my iPhone have caused crashes (down the white lead) via iTunes.
    I have "fixed" but I don't know the cause?
    Each time the update does n't complete.
    The download does n't happen.
    The computer & internet connection are good.
    It is as if the Apple server does n't complete?
    The phone stays in recovery mode, until you reset and rebuild in iTunes.
    All software is up to date, but I can't find the cause
    ANY IDEAS?
    Regards,
    P.
    <Email Edited by Host>

    No error messages.
    It just fails to complete the download, so recovery mode is the next step.
    This can be over a period of eight hours or more!
    I have so many (original) Apple USB leads that I would n't know if I have been using the same one (if it was faulty).
    Does this sound like a "common" problem?

  • Problems converting templates from dot to dotx - concerning tables

    I have a lot of templates where bodytext and tables are mixed.
    Word standard (to 2010) was that a table starts 0,19 cm left of left margin and since the tablecell has a standard indent of 0,19 cm from left the text in the table alignes with the bodytext above or under the table.
    When using Save as to convert a dot to a dotx file in Word 2013 the position of the table changes so it starts at the left margin but still has 0,19 indent in the cell.
    The result is that text in the table ends up with an indent of 0,19 which not alignes the rest of the text.  
    The solution is not to change the cell indent to 0 since the text then is to Close to a possible border.
    Is there any explaination or solution out there?
    Thanks!
