Overclocking AMD 64 3000+
Need help overclocking an AMD 64 3000+. I'm very new at OCing and any tips or pointers would help me quite a bit. The CPU was at 2.0 GHz factory, i've got it up to 2.2 GHz. I've been taking it nice and slow and using Core Temp and OCCT after each time I increase the FSB. Right now I have the FSB at 220 MHz, and whenever I up it to 230 MHz i'll start up Windows and after a little bit it will crash.
Specs:
MSI K8T NEO mobo
512 MB of RAM
350W PSU
256MB NVIDIA GeForce FX5700
I've got the core voltage on 1.525. I don't know if this is to much or not...? I've also enabled the cool 'n' quiet feature in the BIOS. Also there was a Dynamic Overclocking feature in the BIOS that had private, sergeant, captain, colonel, general and commander. I set mine at general, which says it increases the CPU frequency by 7%. Don't know if these are good things or a bad things. Any help would be greatly appreciated because I need practice OCing this before I upgrade my system and overclock an e8400.
Thx,
Coadman
