ChuckDSanders Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 Any of you Intel smithfeild owners had the same experiance? http://www.geekpatrol.ca/browse/2006/?view&id=9159 If you didn't belive me I can OC the {censored} out of this in OS X and not in XP whats the deal? The results speak for themselves. And yes this is an air OC with the core voltage at 1.55. Thank you again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mifki Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 If your using the newer kernels you aint overclocking it by changing the fsb (fsb=no.), you are just changing the timebase., i can make my xbench go up to 400-500 on a e6300 by changing my fsb settings in the kernel. remember the fsb provided by intel is quad pumped so my 1.06ghz fsb is actually a 233 mhz fsb,.

ChuckDSanders Posted November 11, 2006 Author Share Posted November 11, 2006 So if I am not overclocking then what am I doing? Just getting artificial results? You can see my benches and each run got faster and faster depending on what I was running. See I was under the impression that the default FSB was 200 and by chaning the FSB it was the same as changing the soft bus. So I set the bios to Default 200fsb and did the rest of the tweaking and let the OS do the rest. It was showing 6.0Ghz in Geek bench too so I don't know how changing the time bias would do all of this as well.

Correct and by me typing in 400mhz it is effectively 1600mhz bus. Sending signals at pi/2 pi 3pi/2 and 2pi for each clock cycle I believe if my math is correct to get quad pumped. Anyhow anyone else having any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mifki Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 It isnt OC'ing, its artificial results. Look, lets say you have a benchmark utililty (such as geekbench) and it will normall run on a timebase of 1:1, (which is the real fsb for your cpu) but if you change that timebase (which you can through the fsb= switch) then the kernel will reort the timebase as much higher or lower (depending on the value), your computer isnt actually doing more work or anything but geekbench will think its running much faster (due to the modified timebase) because it will see that it is doing more work per second than it normally does (1/4:1 vs. 1:1 i think is right) so it will report your cpu speed as higher and then your benchmarks will go higher, i made my {censored} P4 3.0ghz quadruple a Quad Core Mac Pro just by faking the fsb settings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuckDSanders Posted November 18, 2006 Author Share Posted November 18, 2006 Yeah sorry I didn't come back and tell you guys. Yes its artificial. The most I can get on air is about 4.2 stable in OS X or XP. On a side note related to FSB. How do I get it set in the boot.plist to be fsb=266? I added it under the kernel extensions or what have you as instructed with no effect. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
