How to overclock ASUS p5b

[Deagler]

okay, I've read all the sticky's, I promise, and I've looked at alot of other threads before posting this.....sooo....

I want to overclock my computer, marginally, here are my specs

C2d 2.13
ASUS p5b Mobo
2gb Corsair Value select 667 Ram
FSP 450W PSU
BFG OC'd 7600GT 256mb

The asus board has a NOS program for adjusting voltage and stuff like that, But i'm not really sure how to up the FSB or how much it'd speed stuff up.....

I'm only looking to get my processor up to like 2.3 or something, and In general I don't want to get anything into, relatively, danger, levels

Why do you want to overclock in the first place?

well its one of the joys of a custom built computer and have a little performance boost.

this might help a little

Dont use NOS. Do your overclocking through bios.

I mean if you have truely read the stickies, theres not much we can do to help. First you have to actually try messing around with the overclocking, if you get stuck or need further guidance we can help.

What I would do is first check to make sure your memory is running @ 333mhz in the BIOS. If it is, simple boost your CPU FSB to 333mhz, and you've got 2.66ghz there.

Of course it is a lot more complicated, though, and you need to do this in small intervals. You may want better cooling, too.

to increase the FSB on a ASUS MB you have to set the CPU speed to "Mannual" under ADVANCE in BIOS. Use a calucator : FSB X Multipler = 2.3 dont change the Multipler, just the FSB speed.

=========================================
ex:
at 2.13GHz : FSB is 266, Multipler is 8 which works out to about 2.13

so to get 2.30 Ghz: increase FSB to 290x8 ~= 2.3GHz
=========================================


With such as a small increase, it should not be much trouble, if you have a good fan.
