EternityEight Posted October 18, 2003 Posted October 18, 2003 (edited) Alright I finally got and built my pc (w00t) and its running well ..... when i first set it up my 2500 barton was at 1100 mhz .... but i incremented the fsb to 166 mhz , i.e what its meant to be; the system posted as a 2500+ so, after i was satisified with my temps, i began to overclock, increment the fsb , 4mhz at at time, i got it up to 200*11; i.e a 3200+ At the moment i get around 45*C temps under full load, so i think i still have a bit of headroom for more overclocking. now my question is this-- what do i do to overclock the system further, ideally id like to have the fsb at 200mhz because then it is sychrnonous with my corsair XMS3200 RAM, but if i up the multiplier, i will be doing a 100mhz jump each time (i think it only increments in .5s no? ) So how do i go further: will i have to lower the fsb, up the multilplier, and then up the fsb again, or can i just up the multiplier bit by bit my specs: A7n8X-Deluxe Rev2.0 bios 1006 Barton 2500 @ 200*11 w/ Aero7+ and Ceramique @ 45*C full load Radeon 9600PRO (not o/ced yet) 512Mb Dual Channel XMS pc3200 Corsair RAM 120Gb SATA Drive 2 rear Intake fans. Case temp is around 35*c Thanks for your help Pete Edited October 18, 2003 by EternityEight Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EternityEight Posted October 18, 2003 Posted October 18, 2003 Ah, I was just larking about in the BIOS and i saw that the optiuon to change the multiplier was ghosted out; will i need to flash the BIOS to be allowed to change the multi?; bearing in mind the above specs Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ziggy54354 Posted October 18, 2003 Posted October 18, 2003 you can probably raise your fsb some more if you want. Ive got my corsair and proc running 209 sync. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishop245 Posted October 18, 2003 Posted October 18, 2003 i was just wondering. what does flashing bios mean? sorry but i have heard the term and i want to know what exactly it means. thanks flashing the bios is just updating them like updating a drive though if something goes wrong then its RMA time for the mobo or if your lucky you can try the flash again and make it work i think Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrusk Posted October 18, 2003 Posted October 18, 2003 The reason the multi would be greyed out is becuase you have to set the options to user difined and stuff like that. Play around with it for a while, youll figure it out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
