Fine-Tune CPU Reference Clock
Go to NVIDIA nTune 5.0 to adjust the frequency using the
Reference Clock
(HTT)
setting from NVIDIA nTune
Motherboard Settings
control panel as shown
in Figure 6. This action incrementally adjusts the reference clock and allows for
dynamically testing for system stability.

nTune 5.0
Tip:
In nTune, use
Left
and
Right
keyboard buttons to make small increments
or decrements for the CPU
Reference clock (HTT)
slider value.
Incrementing voltages slightly can provide more overclockability.
A CPU reference clock value of 300 MHz is an achievable target, and in some cases
the interface can be overclocked much more depending on the speed of the AMD
FX-62 CPU and nForce 590 SPP chips. Chip speeds vary due to the manufacturing
process variations of the ASICs–application specific integrated circuits.
