Need a little help. New to overclocking.

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
Hey all, My friend Jeremy, Who is also on this forum as "Pen_2_Penguin" I believe.. or something close, gave me a motherboard with a cpu, and some graphics cards.

So I wanna try overclocking it all. Haha, I bought ceramique thermal paste, and a new cpu cooler (nothing fancy, It idles at 37-43 C) And Ive got it on, with windows XP

Heres the basic info I have:

Mobo info:
Manufacturer: ASUSTeK
Model - K8V-X
Rev 2,00
BIOS Version - 1012.003



CPU info:
Name: AMD Athalon 64 3200+
Brand ID - 4
90nm
Core Voltage - 1.408 V
Core speed - 2205.21mhz
Multiplier - X 11.0
Cores - 1
Threads - 1

RAM info:
DRAM frequency - 156.5 mhz
FSB DRAM - CPU/14
CAS Latency - 2.5 clocks
DRAM Idle timer - 16 clocks

As far as this graphics card, I have no idea what it is.. Lol CPU-z has no idea either I guess.


So, Since I have no clue what Im doing, Anyone think they could guide me on my way here?
