Ok. So I've got an older PC, would like to squeeze a few more Mhz out of so games will run a bit more smoothly.
Never OC'd before, but I've done my research.
I go into the BIOS and bump the clock up from 100 to 105. No problems, running 1.82Ghz nice and stable. I then bump it up to 106 and I get no sound from my on-board AC'97 codec. If I go back to 105, the sound comes back.
The PC is running nice and cool. 2 fans in, 2 fans out, plus a Thermaltake volcano sitting on the CPU. Surely I should be getting more than a 1200Mhz increase from this. What gives? Is it a PCI problem?
Also, the BIOS allows me to change the multiplier, (which I haven't touched) if I change this, will it actually change anything, or is the lockout on the CPU itself?
Any help would be appreciated.
