HoLoDreaM Posted December 5, 2004 Posted December 5, 2004 (edited) i extremely doubt i will be able to, but im sure you guys know more than me about overclocking.. that is the one area im lost at... i just bought a new computer with athlon xp 2800+, 512 ddr, nforce 2 AU31, with onboard 6 channel audio, DVD-RW, it came with an onboard geforce 4 64mb, but i just put on my geforce fx5200 128mb... and btw its an emachines.. i hear prebuilt computers arent overclockable.. but its worth a shot.. can i flash my bios or anything? id love to overclock as i always want max performance while being stable.. (obviously)... thanks! Edited December 5, 2004 by HoLoDreaM Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aiecc_Ixi Posted December 5, 2004 Posted December 5, 2004 one... idk two... not to take away your thread or anything but i found it pointless to make a new one so if you dont mind .... i cant waint a couple months to overclock my new rig and want to know if mine is over clockable Intel Celeron 2.4 ghz Soyo P4vga motherboard ???

red930 Posted December 5, 2004 Posted December 5, 2004 tthe 2800+ overclocks pretty well, just as long as you have a decent heatsink on it. i overclocked mine 200Mhz+ and that was on stock heatsink and ram the wasn't meant to go over 200mhz so if you have good ram thats overclockable and a good heatsink you should be able to get 200-400mhz overclock easy.

I don't know the mobo, but you should reach at least 3Ghz, maybe.. I overclocked my Celeron 800Mhz (2Ghz->2.8Ghz) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoLoDreaM Posted December 5, 2004 Posted December 5, 2004 will i be able to overclock it? can someone post some basics on overclocking? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregP24 Posted December 5, 2004 Posted December 5, 2004 Try a utility called CPUFSB. That will allow you OC within windows. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnderTakeR- Posted December 5, 2004 Posted December 5, 2004 with a little help here i OC'ed my athlon XP 2800+with 400 Mhz, stock cooling, very stable (my pc runs 24/7) and it has't crashed, froze or burned yet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuclear Posted December 5, 2004 Posted December 5, 2004 Clockgen and CPUFSB will only work if the program supports your hardware, it's not a universal tool. Without voltage control on the chip and RAM, your OC'ing will severly hampered. Plus, you are on the stock HSF, which makes it even harder. Good Luck, but I think that will not be able to OC that system. Let us know if you figure out a way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoLoDreaM Posted December 5, 2004 Posted December 5, 2004 well im gonna need yalls help because i've never overclocked a computer before... guide me through please? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnderTakeR- Posted December 5, 2004 Posted December 5, 2004 wll the best way to OC it is the following... go in bios change memory ratio to 1:1 lock agp/pci to 66/33 raise the FSB 5 Mhz at a time and once it runs unstable raise your core volt (vcore) with 0,05V when it randomy resets or doesn't boot winblows it is unstable my athlon 2800+ is 400 Mhz OC'd i run at 192*12,5 and vcore around 1,75V - 1,80V hope this helps :/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoLoDreaM Posted December 6, 2004 Posted December 6, 2004 how can i change the vcore.. i dont see it in my BIOS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
upok Posted December 6, 2004 Posted December 6, 2004 (edited) chances are that your mobo won't have too many oc'ing options. things like vcore, dimm voltage, it may only offer preset FSB's(usually 100,133,166,200 on a socket a board). but like it was said in here before, your best way of oc'ing is by upping the FSB. if you can go up in single digit increments, then by all means give it a shot--slow and steady. if your board only offers the big jump from 166-stock for the 2800-- to 200, be careful. i doubt that it will even post. if that is the case you'll have to do a cmos reset with the jumper on the mobo. and if this has completely confused you, i'm sorry. here's the occ overclocking guide: OCC Overclocking Guide Edited December 6, 2004 by upok Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
