Hello again everyone! I just got myself another computer, and need some help overclocking it! Here's some basic info for ye, so you'll have an idea as to what I need to do.

CPU- Athalon 3800 X2 ( I dunno why, I just like that processer!)
CPU Voltage- 1,4 Volts Average

FSB-201.0 MHZ
Core Speed-2010.3 Mhz

Mobo- MSI MS-7125
Chipset- nvidia nforce4
Rev-A3

Bios Brand- Phoenix Technologies, LTD

Memory- Crucial Value Select DDR-SDRAM Dual channel 2 gig
Frequency-167.5 Mhz
FSB
RAM-CPU/12
CAS# Latency-2.5 Clocks
RAS# to CAS# Delay-3 Clocks
RAS# Precharge- 3 Clocks
Cycle time (Tras)- 7 Clocks
Bank Cycle Time (Trc)- 10 Clocks
Dram idle Timer- 16 Clocks
Module Size- 512 MBytes

Any other info you guys need, just ask me. But, all I'm needing to do is overclocking the Processer, and the Memory. And, please don't tell me to go look at some manual! Thanks!

Do the same thing you did with your current 3800+... 3.2GHz... that's frickin' incredible.

Hi

Simple way to OC...

Set your HTT x4
Set your ram to 166/333
Set you mulitplier to x9
Set you V.core to 1.5
Set you FSB to 250

That should get you decent start of 2.25Ghz

If you start to go over 250 FSB lower your HTT to x3

Thanks Loki!

To respond to Namrac, I would if I could... But this one has no other place to go! The one that's outside is upstairs, and the one that I just got is downstairs, and the closest window is no-less than 10 Ft. Away.

Ok, quick problem... I don't really know what that is in the BIOS... 'Cause this one is different than mine. If anyone has the same BIOS setup, maybe you can help me out on this one, and tell me where everything is located?

Hey, Loki! Do you think you could help me out? When I went into the BIOS settings, I changed the FSB to 250, and the HTT to 4x. After I did that, my computer said that windows could not start up do to a vital program missing. So, I then went back into the BIOS settings, and changed the HTT back to normal, and leaving the FSB to 250. After I did that, my computer's monitor went blank, and I then had to unplug everything and remove the Battery on the motherboard. Do you think you could help me out?

Sorry back one sec...

Ok you need to set the ram to 333mhz not 400mhz

Also 250fsb and x4 Htt = 1000 so thats not the problem.

You may need to raise the V.core a little more for stability but Monitor you temps 40c Idle and 50c max are reasonable

Also I'v found Asus boards like to go in steps (I.E. FSB 210 restart test for stability 220 restart test for stability 230 restart test for stability 240,245,250)

Ok, so... What would the V.core be called in the BIOS? Because I have three different types of Voltages that I can change... Sorry I can't be of much more help. When my comp is back up and running, I'll tell you the three kinds there are and then you can tell me which one to change!

It depends on what type of bios you have? Letting us know which type of you have would help significantly as different bios have different headings.

But there are many Phoenix bios versions...

Ok Loki, I am using my regular computer for overclocking again. I noticed that you mentioned ASUS boards, well, that is on one of my computers, but the one I am overclocking with is an MSI board! Take a look at the first post, and you'll see that.

Ok, so I couldn't find a Frequency/Voltage Control, but under the Cell menu, found these Voltages that I could change

Memory Voltage-2.65 Volts Currently

Extra CPU Voltage

NF4 Voltage- 1.50 Volts Currently

Oh, and I figured this out about my BIOS

Ok, I have sucessfully gotten my processer to fun at 2.4 Ghz with the HTT at 4x. Before I amp up the FSB more, should I change the HTT to 3x?

Lower it to 3x once you pass 250MHz on the FSB.

Gaterkeeper, add me to AIM... Racnam12
