BF2S Forums Overclocking Voltage Question

I have the exact same mobo config

Not sure about voltage, but for Frequency, set them to Sync, bring it up 50, try to start, if it goes into reboot loop, bump down 25, etc etc.

Mine has an exact place where it crashes and where it don't, find it.

I'm pretty sure you can't unlock the multiplier unless you have the 5000+ or 6400+ Black Edition.  Only up the voltage if your overclock is unstable, otherwise leave it.  If you do increase voltage, do it in the smallest increments possible.  There is no easier way, we can't just tell you exactly where to set your vcore.  Overclocking is a time consuming pain the ass, which is why I stopped doing it.

correct, the 3700 has a locked multi above 11 (you can select lower ones though)  If you want to oc you'll have to raise the bus speed which will also raise your mem speed unless you use the mem dividers.  and as also stated only increase voltages if you are not stable.

LiLp, PCI-E and system bus speeds should be set to async, especially when overclocking. Everything but what is currently being experimented with should remain as close to stock as possible.

If the voltage doesn't go over 1.4, I can safely say, put it there. Unless there's a VID multiplier option, that's the only value you should put your voltage to. Even 1.6v can be called safe on a CPU like that.

Then, just slowly raise the FSB with 5-10MHz at a time. Press F10 to save and quit, boot up and run prime95 or Orthos for ten minutes. Repeat. When you start getting errors, you need to drag the speed down a bit and run Orthos/P95 again. When it's stable for around ten hours, you can say you've got a stable processor.

As for the RAM, have it as close to stock as you can.
