Overclocking

[John]

Hi..
So I've searched some stuff on the internets about overclocking....
Seems quite simple but i don't know how i get the number of frequency and the voltage right, kinda scared to fry my CPU
If anyone could give me some infos or a handy tutorial I'd appreciate it

That CPU is easy as shit to OC

Just do exactly as I say

I had an Athlon 64 X2 4600+(2.4)
I got that to 3GHz before it hit max TDP

What you have to do is, Slowly increase the FSB (5mhz each turn) until it turns off, then up the voltage one notch and continue until it won't go up anymore

Your CPU will get to 3.2GHz comparable to mine(higher stock clocks)

If you need help, call me

//Your FSB seems pretty weak... try incrementing to 250MHz(in 5mhz bursts)

Also 65W? That could be trouble, mine is 95W...

Crap. It seems like my MB doesnt support overclocking :| , can't find any settings in the bios

Well dat fails

Actually, I do know of some programs that bypass factory locked overlocking. I took my 1.8 Sempron and OC'd to 2.2,

You can try AMD overdrive, I think it might let you OC. But yeh, it's not very recommended that you OC with software as BIOS OC'ing is a bit more stable. But it'll have to do.

Wouldn't recommend it

I looked for some OC software before, didnt find anything that works, ill try AMD overdirve, hopefully it does.
Anyways, thanks for the help

Wouldn't recommend it

Why not?

/EDIT didnt work :|

Tends to be unstable when applying 600 extra mhz at startup suddenly

Well, there are 2 more that I know of. nTune and Rivera tuner. They're both designed for a Nvidia GPU, but it might work if you have an ATi or some sort. But it did work with my Geforce 8400gs.

I've personally used nTune before and it works as long as you don't go crazy and like, overclock to 3.3 with it. But what magic said is true, it can bump up a much higher mhz speed when starting. So try not to blame me/the program if your pc gets unstable.

I've already given him MSi Afterburner and OC'd him to a stable stance

plus he was on about CPU lol

800mhz core linked with shader 1500
1600 memory(3.4eff)

gts 250

das wut i done for him, works fine

my one is 900core, 1800shad, 2200mem(4.4eff)

gts450

lol

I lol'd at my trolling.
But seriously, does he know exactly what the chipset it is? I don't feel like reading.
