Page 6 - Overclocking for Newbies

just a follow up question to what you said. why is the 930 cheaper than the 660 when it is more advance processor? with this said, is the 930 better that the 660? thanks

PCI lock in the bios!

p4 hahahahahaha u are silly amd is better so get a life lol

Haha, nice first post mate. Necromating a thread to say:
Great job

hey guys i need some help. Im a mild overclocker so i dont know very much but..for last few weeks i been trying to get my corsair ram (xms2 8500c5) to run at its rated speed of 1066mhz. Im using a P5W DH asus MB been playing with alot of bios settings but i can get this ram over 1000mhz with any timings at all. so im thinking its a problem with MB. does anybody have any ideas? thanx

I have that ram and can help you...Start a new thread and list all your specs.

I started new thread called corsair 8500c5 thanx

Hi, i have a Intel Pentium E2140 cpu running at 1.60 Ghz i'd like to overclock to atleast 2.6Ghz or 3.2Ghz an mobo is a foxconn P4M900, but i dont know to much on how to do it so it runs stable so any help from anyone would be much appreciated

umm i think that's putting some seriously high expectations on that poor little pentium

yea i know its just mainly because i have the game Assassins Creed an the requirements for atleast a dual core for Assassins Creed is 2.6Ghz for the game to run cause when i try to play the game it does play for a lil while then it quits, everything else is fine an meets the requirements for the game, just not the cpu so thats why i thought about OC it to atleast 2.6Ghz maybe 2.4Ghz if it wont OC to 2.6Ghz so im just trying to get some help on it so it would run stable if anyone would i would appreciate it much

Yes im a noob at overclocking :P

I think you could probably get it into the 2GHZ range, but I really doubt you'll be seeing it anywhere near the 3GHZ range. Somebody more experienced could explain how better than me if you start your own thread, or better yet, read this: http://www.devhardware.com/forums/c...ting-97163.html

The scene of overclocking a computer system can be threatening for a computer greenhorn, to say the least. The idea is uncomplicated enough make the computer's processor run quicker than its stock speed to gain more performance without paying for it. The effecting of this idea though, can be anything but simple. Followings are the steps of overclocking.
1 Know the precise definition of overclocking and know what you are doing.
2 Understand that not all computers can be overclocked.
3 The BIOS.
4 Clearing your CMOS
5 Locked or Unlocked.
6 Multiplier Unlocked Processors.
7 Getting Your System Stable.
8 Test Utilities.
9 Memory Timings.
10 Memory chip quality.
11 Athlon 64 Overclocking.

I am AMD user but unfortunately I am not lonely..

IN amd sampron overclocking is advisable?
