Question

I have an Amd Athlon 64 3800+ and i want very much to overclock one. Can anyone help me? How to do it? Pleaz it have to be someone who know.

Answer 1

I've been overclocking for about 10 years. My greatest success is an AMD Athlon XP 3200+ factory clock at 2.2GHz OCed to 3.6GHz. Kept it that way for 6 months till I finished a project I needed it OCed for.

Anyway, to overclock you can do the following:
1) multiplier in bios
2) multiplier on motherboard- some motherboard companies like giga-byte have a dip switch multiplier on their boards.
3) software multiplier- check out motherboard manufacturer websites for software of this type. it's usually free.

there are other programs that you can download: here's a site:

*You don't increase the clock, (if you knew what you were doing, you would know that), you increase the fsb, by increments of 2-5. The multiplier is a multiplier of this.

if you've maxed out your multiplier and don't like the other options, then you can first off, lower your mulitplier and ever so slightly increase your core voltage. then increase the multiplier again. software overclockers adjust voltages and fsb's.

Answer 2

You don't even need to overclock that baby. BUT, if you do remember, cooling cooling cooling. Make sure that before OC, your temps are around or below 40c. To overclock, go into BIOS, and increase clock speed. Stock is probably 200 or 300. Go up in increments of 5. After each, reboot, and check for stability in Sandra, or any burn-in software. If you didn't understand some of that, go to Overclock.net

i might desire your suitable motherboard kind to confirm, despite the fact that it could be notably secure to assert that it accepts the X2 selection. Overclocking varies slightly from motherboard to motherboard, and demands slightly understanding and a lot of endurance.
