Overclocking

[mr. nails]

amd chips can not oc very good. 200-400 increase is suck.

instead of me explaining...

just go here.

Alright, Ill look though those articles. I was looking through my bios and found something called Jumperfree configuration. It had all that stuff I'm supposedly looking for.

Does that sound right?

Assuming you have an asus board, yes.

Sounds right, since we know you have an Asus board (because of the Q-Fan options).

Its an ASUS M2N-E Socket 940..for future refrence.

Alright guys, I've read through those pages and I still dont quite understand it. I know that by overclocking im pushing more voltage through my cpu and ram, but how do I accomplish this safely? Programs, process?

That is sheer nonsense- some of my 939 chips have run fine at increases of 800MHz and could have gone higher were I not such a lazy fuck.

Good link though.

@Smith...
You really don't understand yet.
Upping the CPU's frequency does not automatically "push more voltage" through the chip(s) but frequently it IS necessary to manually increase voltage to sustain the overclock.
This voltage increase will typically require more sophisticated methods to deal with the increase in heat that will be generated.
Thus, the domino effect begins...

Seriously...if you want more speed, look first to just acquiring a faster chip- it's sooo much simpler.
If you are hell-bent on overclocking, first you must do two things.
-One, read alot more about the process.
-Two, be prepared to kiss off the hardware you're playing with- mistakes can be fatal.

Where can I read up more on the basics of this?

The link Mr. Nails posted would be a start.
