Well Ive looked at my specs with cpuz and Im not really impressed. Ivegot it overclocked with a mobo setting called "turbo". Im have no ideawhat settings I should set to start out, like some basic overclockingnumbers. Any help would be much appriciated.

What kind of ram do you have? Do you know if your CPU is locked or not (if you saw FSB in bios were you able to change it?)

Btw, welcome to the site =]

there's a sticky at the top called nF2 overclocking...try there...

I have geil 256 ddr pc-3200. I know I can set everything to custom(inthe bios). I just dont know whats safe or even what to use. I lookedatthe sticky and I wasnt sure how to apply what it said to my setup.

*the cpu must be locked, it is new*

danbanger · 26-January-05, 08:28 PM

FIrst you should get a program that will read your temps such as mbm5 (can google and dl that if you don't already have it). With that pc3200 ram you should be able to hit 200fsb depending on your CPU. I think chile was referring to this link, you should check it out and post again if you have any problems.

oh and just because you just recently bought the CPU doesn't mean its locked, it all depends on when the CPU was MADE not when a person bought it. If you are able to fiddle with the Multiplier in the bios it is "unlocked" and if it is unlocked you would want to lower the multiplier while increasing your FSB.

only one way to find out if its locked change the multi i believe thatyours is unlocked considering it was the t bred if im notmistaken all t breds are unlocked and whats your psu you should be ableto hit like 2.4 with hte right air cooling setup

Well Ive got mbm and Im at 41 degrees with the overclockedstandardsettings. Im new to the whole unlocked thing, I heard thatcpu's madeafter some month in 2003 were all locked and I assumedbecause it waspurchased new then it was locked, my mistake.

*now at 40 degrees, at full load its 43-45*

You can get a bit more info about when it was made with CBID and breaking down the codes of the OPN number, on AMD 64, it will give you an "Anounce Date" and tell u exactly when it was made

Ok Ill try that aswell. Ive come to the conclusion that ocingwiththestock cpu cooler isnt wise and that 55C is too hot so I guessIllstartocing when I get a better cpu cooler.

*my cpu is unlocked*

Is this good? Ok Ive been told to lower the multiplier and up the fsb,this is what happend when I lowered the multiplier by a half. Firstscreen shot is before the change. Sorry if this is a stupid question.

post_break · 27-January-05, 07:17 PM

Can anyone tell me that this is true? Down with the multiplier and up with the fsb?
