Overclocking

[gamerxx13]

I am a beginner with overclocking, so let me beginning.
First I know how I can overclock by adjusting the FSB frequency, by raising it from 200 to 210 and so on. But after 210 it becomes unstable. I want to know how much should I raise the voltages and how I can get to to the voltages in bios. Thanks! Well my specs on my comp should be here, so thanks for your help!

Did you read the stickied thread(s) at the top at all?

But to answer your question. Make sure your HT is set to lower than 5x if you are raising the FSB past 200Mhz. Set it to 4x or 3x, THEN adjust the FSB.

What do you do about the voltages? How can you change the core voltage?

dont even worry about that until you become unstable. thats how n00bs fry their systems, they just jack up the voltage way too high when its not even needed. you can get to about 2.4GHz before you should have to bump up the voltage.

Well I uped it to 220 and then it crashes after that everytime i play a game..so do you know what i should do?

Well, did you do what ciwell said and lower your HT multiplier? Your mobo probably (I don't know for sure , since I don't have that one) only supports up to 1000mHz HT. So if your multiplier is still 5, then your running 1100mHz on your HT, which might explain the instability. But that's only one of many things that could be wrong. Read this: http://forums.anandtech.com/messageview...atid=28&threadid=1497607&enterthread=y . And every reply. See what others have done and how they've been helped. I'm screwing around with OCing right now too (my 2800+ is running at 2166mHz right now, Prime95ing while I'm at work). It's fun, but be careful.
