I recently chanced my OC settings and I can’t boot using them.
Usually my normal settings are:
Processor clock from 3Ghz to 3.8GHz
Processor Vcore from 1.4 to 1.55
Memory clock default (1600Mhz)
Memory voltage from 1.5 to 1.59
Chipset clock from 1.800Mhz to 2.500Mhz
Chipset voltage from 1.25 to 1.4
Up to this point everything works fine, but then I change:
CPU spread spectrum = “ON” to “OFF”
C1E = “OFF” to “ON”
and the system doesn’t boot, hangs right after loading the kernel.
So, when over clocking, or going to the doctor, if doing something hurts, or does not boot, I suggest you stop doing it then. lol!
Setting CPU spread spectrum = “ON” to “OFF”, should not be a problem, so try it by its self first. Setting C1E = “OFF” to “ON” is a power saving function, allowing your CPU to slow down as I read it. Not sure that is what you want in order to over clock? I would consider making sure my PC UEFI setup firmware was fully up-to-date. Next, I might consider using a newer kernel, if using this setting is imperative, to see if it makes any difference.
Ubuntu was using 3.8, don’t know how it managed to boot since I didn’t clean this module for months.
The frame rate I’d really like to know more about, because it doesn’t matter the driver version, it’s been happening since 310, 313, and now 319. I suppose this is related to Steam/their games, some memory dump or whatever, but they don’t seem to care about. It happens on Team Fortress 2 and Left 4 dead 2, after a few minutes playing the fps drops and there’s nothing that can fix that. I might look over the web to see a way of putting the option “Maximum Performance” permanently enable on Nvidia-settings.
