Hello all,
I'm trying to overclock this cpu (stock clock speed 2.2ghz). All I have accomplished at the moment is 2.42ghz (temp holding around 40-43°C) by incresing the fsb to 220. Any higher and the clock speed reads incorrectly or goes completely back on itself(2.02ghz etc.)
I've only increased the fsb without tampering with anything else (as to be honest, I'm not really sure what I'm doing!) but I've heard a stable clock speed of 2.6ghz is achievable.
My system specs are:
Asus A8N SLI Deluxe
Athlon 64 X2 4200+
4GB Corsair TWINX2048-3200C2PT (3GB effective on XP)
GeForce 8800GTX XT
300GB Maxtor 6B300S0
Audigy 2 ZS
Windows XP (32bit)
Can anyone instruct me or give me a few pointers on how to reach higher clock speeds with my bios/mobo? I'd rather overclock this way as I've heard bad or inconsistant results through software overclocking.
Thanks a lot for your time.
