New OCing tut, testing and saving
I thought I would update the overclocking tutorial a little as it is a year old at least now.. It is going to be all over the place for now untill I get it all done.. Yes I know there is allot of mispelling lol, my nickname way back was the resident mispeller.
Overclocking your system will reduce your CPU life and will stress your system. Please follow the directions and Overclock at your own risk
For How To I will be using my AMD 6000+ for the cpu.
To start my cpu is 3.0 ghz stock. With a multiplier of 15 and a Front side bus of 200. So 15 x 200 = 3.0 ghz or 3000 mhz
Every single cpu has a different sweet spot for thier multiplier. Most AMD's is 11 but it is not law. As mine was 15.
Let us begin by downloading this program Stress Prime 2004 . Since most newer cpu's are at least dual core this is a newer stress test made for stressing both cores.
Another program I would like you to download is speed fan http://webpages.charter.net/bvanlies...peedfan431.exe
This will let you know what your cpu's tempature is and other critical temps ionside the case are while stressing your computer.
Reboot your system and get into your BIOS. If your overclocking you have a DIY pc. Meaning it was not built by Dell, HP etc. As those pc's are not overclockable.
So once into your BIOS you will want to find the tab that says Hardware Monitpring. You will see a tab that says "Alarms" Or somthing simlair. You will want to set an alarm if your cpu goes above 65c for these tests. One thing about AMD is they can take a little more heat than Intels.
Ram.. Ram is one of the biggest problems people run into when overclocking and not being able to go any further. The number one rul for ram and overclocking is never fill up all your Ram slots. This will greatly hinder your ability to go higher.
