spend 250 bucks on a new rig. you are way to far behind.

1+2: In BIOS. There exists multiple different BIOS types out there (similar to how there are many different types of operating systems), and each one has a unique layout. Usually, however, there will be a specific menu for overclocking/tweaking specifically. It's in here that you will find the options for multiplier and voltage. It's simply entering the values in small, increasing increments for FSB and multiplier, and adjusting voltage as needed for stability.
3. Depends on how high you're overclocking. The general rule of thumb is that for a normal overclock, an average ($40 or so) heatsink will do, while high overclocks will require a high-end heatsink or watercooling, while extreme overclocking (usually 5.0+) will require phase cooling or other exotic methods. For those old chips, however, you might not be able to find many good heatsinks...
4. With your current setup, 1GB will do, but I'll talk more about this at the end.
5.It depends on your CPU. General rule of thumb is no more than 65-70C, with 60C being many peoples' comfort zones. Also, VCore is the voltage that the CPU is using, not the temperature (and VCore too is specific to the CPU model)
6. I'd definitely would consider upgrading too, if you had the money. The thing is that it's extremely difficult to "melt" your parts, as you put it. You have to put in a very high VCore or run a high VCore with a bad heatsink to even start to destroy your system.
Moreso, OCN is a very experienced overclocking community, and we'd be more than happy to answer any questions you have.
And going back to your question on the RAM, 1GB is perfectly matched with your system, but your system itself when overclocked will not perform too well. It's a sad truth that hardware outdates extremely fast.

The memory is low will 1gig do or should I go for 2gig? 5. What temps do I have to keep an eye on, Vcore no more than 55c? 6. Anything else I should know? Thanks in advance |

LOl found my old post and how rude I did not reply to that very helpful person r31ncarnat3d, sorry.
Anyway I have splashed the cash and bought 2 gig of ram and a athlon64 3400 (newcastle core) cpu
![tongue.gif]()
Now I know my PC is out of date but hey it works and it does what I require. I just want to have a go at overclocking.
I have my new CPU running at 2.54Ghz and will be looking to achieve 2.8+ Ghz.
If someone would be kind enough to help me it will be appreciated?

I have just added a case fan blowing air out and reduced the cpu temps by -8 degrees celcius

Can't seem to turn my voltages up and I keep getting the blue screen, someone could help me somewhere?

i5-661 is 1156 processor, DP67BG is a 1155 motherboard. They are both incompatible. Why would you need 24GB of RAM?! 8GB is more than 90% of users need anyways..

Ha so it is will send mobo back for right one.
