  • Overclocking ><!?!

    Hey I am fairly new to the overclocking scene and just wanted to ask you guys some questions with things I seem to be having.

    First of all I have overclocked my ati radeon 9550 from 250/230 (somewhere around 230 I think) to 400/350.

    I have also done my RAM timings to what they are meant to be. Now the problem is doing the CPU. I understand about the frequency it runs at and the multiplier (in my case AMD Athlon64 sckt 939 3200+ 10x 200MHz), now my bios is by AMI and I have seen to it that it is up to date...but nowhere am I able to find CMOS in the BIOS (the menu of options that allows you to change FSB and all that) and trust me I have looked everywhere in there...I think.

    I have seen screenies of peoples BIOS where it is right in the very first screen of the BIOS although it was a Pheonix one. The only option I was able to change was to make my FSB run at 215MHz and that was the max...now I know you can go a bit higher than that. Sorry if this is worded badly but I am tired and unable to sleep due to much caffeine consumption....evil caffeine. Thanks for any replies.

    if your motherboard is a cheapo one or an OEM one, you won't have much/none-at-all options for overclocking. sounds to me like you fall into that category.

    what kind of computer and motherboard do you have?

    Thanks Yyg!

      Ok my specs are as following:

      CPU: AMD Athlon64 3200+ @2.2GHz
      RAM: 512MB DDR SDRAM (Ibelieve it is running at 420MHz)
      Motherboard: Asus A8V-MX - I believe this may a budget board and my problem...it is running with a AMI BIOS which could be a "dummied down" version but not sure
      HDD: 160GB @ 7200rpm
      Video Card: ATI Radeon 9550 128bit with 256MB (yes I know it is sucky but it uses the same GPU as a 9600 and I have increased it's core/clock from 250/200 to 398.25/236.95)

      Hope this helps.

      Thanks

        sorry to say, but i don't believe that motherboard has OC options.

        Thanks Yyg!
