Resources for Overclocking the Sempron 2800+

[clocker]

Yes...the "blend" option will stress things the most.

I can only overclock with EasyTune 5.

Everytime I try overclocking in the bios, shit hits the fan.
I even had to reset my CMOS due to a currupted Bios today. (POST literally started to scramble with odd characters all over my screen...like when a computer gets a virus in the movies. That really freaked me out, but luckly everything is still working after I cleared the CMOS)

I figure using EasyTune...I can run my PC at 1.6ghz when system stability is extremely vital...and 1.9ghz when I just want some extra speed for a game.

Seems to be working great. The system only BSOD'd While at 1960mhz, but Now I'm using 1900mhz and have yet to see a crash. Played Halo for an hour ealier today on 1900mhz without any BSOD.

If I may ask, why did you guys end up with semprons?

[Wolfmight]

Well, I bought a $300 pci-express graphics card (7800GT woot woot!) and I needed that slot on my mobo. I found out I also had to get a new cpu and I needed one anyways. I didn't have a lot of money left, so I went with the only mobo+cpu I could afford. Sempron+ a slot 754 Gigabyte K8NE. The other mobos were about the same price (938 I believe), but the official AMD64 CPUs were murder. $200??? what a bunch of bull-dick.

I'm waitin for the AMD64 2.2ghz cpus to get cheaper (like around $130) before I buy one.

I see, that processor is definately not doing your videocard justice
