Need help overclocking Phenom X4 9600 (Asus M2R32-MVP)

[kaitlin4599]

hello i have an asus Motherboard M2R32-MVP with a Phenom X4 9600 (HD960ZWCJ4BGD),2.3GHz,95W,rev.B2,SocketAM2+,Quad-Core cpu. my bios is version 1009. my problem is that the option to change the cpu voltage settings in my AMI bios are greyed out and so far i can only OC my cpu to 2.4. how do i find out how much cpu voltage i can handle so that i can use a windows xp based app to change the voltage. so i can over clock my cpu, i know the cpu is old but i cant afford any upgrades right now im poor.heres some info i found on the tech report.com page.On the voltage front, the M2R32-MVP supports processor voltages up to 1.5625V in 0.0125V increments.

im also gonna be using AI booster for xp to up my cpu voltage the processor voltage id (VID) is whats greyed out and i need to change that to be able to better my OC on this quad core cpu

Since this is a mobo issue, I'm moving this from CPUs to Motherboards so that you can get a better answer sooner

Is there an option to get into advanced BIOS settings? On my (terrible) Gigabyte motherboard, you need to hit Ctrl+F1 to get at the advanced settings.

Alternatively, try downloading the motherboard manufacturer's application, Precision Tweaker. Sometimes you can adjust settings which the BIOS won't let you get at.

the board is kjnow to be an overclocking board but when i go to change the cpu voltage its greyed out on my quad core but when i switch to a dual core athlon its not greyed out

i have the tweaker app but i have no idea what the max cpu voltage is that my board can handle

Phenom 1, specially older b2 are known to be extremely limited for OC, so don't expect much...
the board you are using was made for Athlon 64, so maybe the bios support is poor.
as for max voltage, I don't know, start with small steps over the default voltage, later boards with ACC should give better results...

I think AMD had some windows software to OC this CPU.

also for the highest performance make sure you have the TLB bug fix disabled.
