Hi guys, today i started to read some article and review on overclocking my rig. I never done that and i got really scared about half an hour ago because my PC was running half of is CPU speed and as soon as i changed it it freezed! Then when i've put the setting back to normal using the bios (oh yeah i got a asus mobo and it come with a program to tune you CPU speed and voltage *oc*) it restarted with a freakin beep beep beep... Damn i though my pc was fucked up!

Anyway, now its back to normal but i want to give it a little boost but keep everything stable and keep a good temperature. My system is now about 40c with moderate usage... Room temperature is about 20 all the time (except summer) and my case is in a kinda closed space but it has good ventilation (okay crazy clocker wont agree..nway antec sonataII) I've learned a couple of thing about FSB speed, HTT multiplier, that lower multiplier =more stable .. but im still a no0b! And also about the memory timing i don't get it...

Ok now the more important to know if some1 want to help me: (specs)

ASUS M2N-SLI DELUXE
AMD 3800+ (Windsor) 2009MHz  - 200.92 x 10.0    FSB- 1004.6
geFORCE 7600 GT
CORSAIR 2X 1GB @ 334.9MHz  5-5-5-15 


So i've read that with that CPU i can easily get to 2.5 MHz and keep it stable. The multiplier is maxed to 10 but i can change to frequency up to let say 240-250 with a x 10 .. Is it a good setting? What about the volatge, do i need to change anything?

Thanks in advance for your help, usefull link, and merry christmas for everyone!!

increase the CPU frequency in intervals of 5Mhz.  DO NOT increase it by 50Mhz at once.  after every increase, check the temperatures to make sure they are safe and run a stress test (like Orthos) to make sure it is stable.  for starters, you should not touch the voltage.  if you get to the point where you cannot boot and still have safe temperatures, you can then try increasing the voltage in tiny increments.  overclocking is a long, boring, frustrating, pain in the ass process.  good luck.

Also here is a guide geared specifically for overclocking athlons.  It explains memory timings in depth too.
