These threads provide the most indepth info on the subject of how to overclock. Suggested reading for all newbies BEFORE you post a question.

Tin Canary's guide to high fsb on AMD systems

redfallon's guide to high fsb on 800fsb P4 systems

deeppow's excellent overview of overclocking in general and AMD specifics

A64 Memory Dividers

The definitive A64 DFI Overclocking Guide Added 2-8-06

Here are two links to more recent technology. They both deal with OC'ing the Intel C2D and C2Q processors. Thanks to shadowpr for posting these.

Moderator note: This thread was Stickied in 2004 and updates added through 2006. The hardware is outdated at this time (1-30-08) but the general overclocking techniques remain the same. New guides will be posted as they become available. deeppow's guide referenced above is being maintained and may provide the most current information. PR

thanx for the overclocking guide....

04nmr85 · 11-21-2004, 12:20 AM

Hey thanks Panama. I've been looking around the past couple of weeks for overclocking information but I hadn't found anything worth while. These links definately will help. Thanks again!

Antistupid · 11-24-2004, 10:15 PM

the threads are nice, but, I still don't get how to overclock my AMD Athlon 64 3200+.

zimon · 11-26-2004, 05:51 AM

very nice

forizzle111 · 04-09-2005, 10:37 PM

the link works but when i try to open the guide it doesnt work?

**MaxRat** · 02-08-2006, 01:33 PM

PR can you add This link

Into the stickies you got posted....It's for a DFI but will work with any NF3 or NF4 board

rspassey · 02-08-2006, 02:02 PM

The DFI forums one is what I used to walk me through my first overclocks.

Got it, MR.

**MaxRat** · 02-08-2006, 06:12 PM

I belive that is a good guide....Beings the DFI boards are way more finiky than most...It takes better skills to get one going real good...So you get a real good guide....I have always linked that guide....Don't know why I didn't ask to have it added sooner....but now it's there....

Rockrz · 03-08-2006, 08:39 PM

Where do I start if I wanted to increase my FSB?
Here's what I have (it's brand new)

Motherboard
Asus A8N SLI Premium - NVIDIA nForce 4 SLI MCP, PCI Express Motherboard with DDR

AMD Processor
AMD Athlon 64 FX-60 with Dual Core Technology, 2.6GHz x2, 939-pin

**Panama Red** · 03-08-2006, 08:47 PM

You need to start your own new thread. This thread is for reference purposes not instruction or troubleshooting.

Rockrz · 03-08-2006, 08:57 PM

Sorry, I thought I was not supposed to start a new thread on this subject...

Sure you can, but make sure you read these sticky threads first. There are two in particular that talk about oc'ing the A64.

spartan015 · 09-25-2006, 11:18 PM

are there any guides for the C2D? specificly the E6300... lol

**MaxRat** · 09-26-2006, 06:35 AM

It's all the same..

It all aplies the same way just options in the bios may be a little different for each application...

You still need to find the max of the ram and cpu the same way.... then apply them together...

I'd start off for you by dropping the ram on a divider (533) and start from there...with that board you should be able to hit 350fsb in bios and 400fsb if you're lucky...

find the max mhz/fsb of the ram then use a divider to keep in below the max ....use Cpu-Z to check the speed... then prime 95 for testing...

You need to run 2 instances of prime...1 for each core or run Orthos-dual prime... minimum of 8 hours and then test 3D stability from there if you game....good luck

If you have a question... please start a thread question....this is reserved for stickies....

noobiesearcher · 10-24-2006, 03:59 PM

This all seems rather confusing, I just want to know how to OC in the first place

If you have specific questions, please start a new thread. This thread merely provides a collection of good "How to's" as a point of reference. Understanding how overclocking affects the entire system is necessary in order to properly create a STABLE oc'd machine. There is no magic button. It takes time, knowledge and a willingness to spend hours testing with various programs. And we don't recommend anyone overclock a system critical machine. If you only have one pc, run it at stock speeds and be happy with it.

polom79 · 02-04-2007, 11:16 PM

Anyone have any links that I can take a look at on how to overclock my asus p5b mobo?

**freakitchen** · 02-05-2007, 06:16 AM

Might be worth adding to the sticky.

Hey PR, I think you should take out my thread on the High FSB with AMD. Its pretty ancient now...not many folks running Socket A anymore

.

amdalex · 01-31-2008, 09:03 AM

Anybody have any new guides?

perkster · 01-31-2008, 09:38 AM

neither of the 2 new links are available on toms hardware

shadowpr · 01-31-2008, 10:10 AM

Look at them in post 23

perkster · 01-31-2008, 11:09 AM
