Hi everyone, just became a member. Completely new to overclocking and looking for all the help that I can get! I just started increasing the performance of my Acer M5100. added a new OC GPU ATI HD4850, Corsair 550W Power Supply and looking into OC my AMD 64 x2 6000+. sorry I don't know any info about mobo. Not interested in extreme increase, 3.3-3.4Ghz would be perfect! should probably get myself some decent cooling system though.. So far I've noticed you all seem to be using CPU-Z and ATITool or something similar. any suggestions to start me off?

Hey Fox, welcome to OCN

Most 6000+ I've seen can get to 3.3 easy enough. Getting over that depends on the motherboard. Do you know what chipset it is?

Welcome to OCN and the 6000+ club! I'd suggest going through the links and stickies on overclocking. Take your time and have fun while doing it.

For some reason I had a hard time getting higher than 3.3Ghz. Either a bad chip or a bad mobo. It's crazy to compare what this chip can do and what the new intel chips can OC to. It's actually depressing haha.

Hi I have a question, which power supply watts should I get for this CPU
I am biulding a computer its a ASUS M4N78 Pro NVIDIA GeForce 8300, 4gb ram, AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ 3 GHz AM2 Dual Core.
I have a 600w power supply that just short circuited on me and I need to get a new power supply unit
Im thinking 650w would work but I might be wrong, maybe a 700 - 750w would work
What do you guys think?
post #1567 of 1587
650W is more than enough for a low-spec system like that. I'm using 750W units perfectly ok to drive overclocked i7 870 systems
with two GTX 460s, 8GB RAM, etc.

If you're worried, get one of those power-monitoring units that plugs into the wall, so one can see the wattage being drawn, etc.
I often find the power draw is much less than one might assume.

Ian.

temps at idle are running at 46C. I added 3 fans, two are intakes, just cause it makes me feel better. runs smooth for gaming but gfx card is a big bottleneck. So i OC'd it as well. I'm sure i could get 3400, stable. 3500 i would prolly need dry ice lol
