LoL, I have some NEWBIE overclocking questions, and I just got an updated system. I bought some new computer parts. Here is my system specs:
Epox 8K3A+ (2815 BIOS)
AMD athlon xp 1700+ JIUHB; Thermaltake Volcano 7+ hs/f
1x512mb TwinMOS pc3200
Leadtek Geforce4 Ti4200 (OC'ed @ 295/285)
Antec 300watt psu, SX-1030 case with 6 case fans
Realtek NIC
100gig Maxtor hard drive @ 7200 rpm (ATA/133)
19" ViewSonic A90 @ 1152x854x32
HP cd16 CD-RW 24x10x40
My main point is that I want to overclock this cpu, as that is what most people get this cpu for lol. Anyway, I need to know what to do so that I can possibly overclock past 2ghz.
I wish overclocking was as easy as going into the BIOS, changing the FSB to 200, lowering the multiplier, and BAM!!! your cpu is at 2.2ghz. But as we all know, it's not lol. What do u recommend me lowering the multiplier to 1st, when upping the FSB?
I know there are several settings in my BIOS that I need to change, to allow my cpu to be capable of gaining such speeds. My question is.. what and where are these things?
I've heard of FCD, my "AGP/PCI 1/5 divider" or wutever lol, aggressive ram timings, etc., but I don't know what do set these things to. I know if I were to just up my FSB straight away to 200, a lot of things would go wrong, and thats why Im asking about all these things.
Looking at my system specs, wut do you think is the best BIOS for me to get? 3117? Why??
And what is this hard drive corruption I hear people talking about? Like if I get my FSB to high, my kt333 chipset may not be able to handle it and I will need to lower my HDD "ATA" speed. My maxtor is set at ATA/133 right now, so let me know if I will need to change something.
Ive seen people with things like "2-2-2-6-2t-4way" in their sig and stuff, and I know this is their ram timings, but WHAT NUMBER STANDS FOR WHAT SETTING LOL?! What do u think I would be able to get my kt333 chipset motherboard stable at??
And do u recommend me using the cpu burn-in wizard in Sandra once Ive overclocked? will it help?
That's about all I have to ask. Again, I just want some of u guys that have OC'ed to let me in on your secrets lol. Thanks and hope to hear soon..
