if it is possble itd be in ur bios....ull have an unlockable or atleast changebale multiplier, and the cpu voltage. thats the main place to start u up the multiplier then up the voltage lil by lil til its unstable then backoff a bit. however not so sure aboutr that setup. u could try software overclocking but they dont recommend it. good luck

hello, jfizz.

i cant find anything in my bios. where i can change my voltage or whatever.
i have i phoenix award bios. i will try finding software based overclocking.
but it has to be in my bios.

thanks for your help. i hope there are more people with help for me!
cheers!

Take picture from bios with a camera if you can. You should be able to change FSB at least, I dont know how the multi works with 2600+ but I think its locked. So you up the FSB, you up the voltage as it gets unstable, you lower the memory multi to keep your memory clock where it should be (333mhz, 400mhz etc.).

Edit: Please fill up your system from User CP...

2nd Edit: Do you have an aftermarket cooler or do you have stock cooling?

thanks!

I love these chips, I have one that I plan to OC as soon as I find 2Gb DDR400 RAM.

Anyway, due to the chipset, I doubt there's any vcore control, you might be able to trick the board into thinking the stock FSB is 200Mhz which would result in 2.3Ghz, whether that's stable or not is another matter.

But be careful, looking at the board it's obviously a budget ASUS one, I've had 2 budget ASUS Socket A boards die on me after OCing.

Interested in where this goes.
I just picked up an old alienware for $5 with a very similas Asus motherboard and a 2600 in it.

Looks like you'd need a new motherboard to OC that chip, unless you do what I said and try to fool the board into thinking the chip has a stock 200Mhz FSB, not sure how to do that on your board.

uhm.. yup
there is one possible way left.
Updating my bios..
i will try to download the Asus oc software and give that a shot..
but ill think i have to get a new motherboard indeed. but using this one would be a very simple option. but i think it wont work out.

somebody an idea left?

Cheers! (THANKS FOR HELPING ME GUYS)
