Re: athlon black edition stable overclock

Till then heres what id do:

1-Go into bios and adjust the voltages to what they should be at stock levels.
2-Loosen ram timings from stock of say 4-4-4-12 to 5-5-5-15
3-Set a low cpu multiplier
4-Set fsb to stock and ratio of cpu to ram as 1:1, so a stock fsb of say 200 will be 400 in the ram
5-Start the pc.

If all is well and the pc starts up your ready to go back into the bios and start increasing the fsb. Go up by 25 each time so if your first try was 200 try 225 this time then 250 and so on.

When you reach a number it will no longer boot at try increasing the voltage to the cpu in small steps. For a cpu with stock voltage of 1.3 id personally never go above 1.45.

Remember your trying to achieve a fsb of around 400 with a cpu multiplier of 8 so if you get close to this lets say 350 for fun. You ram will be slightly underclocked so you can then try and lower the timings and voltage for the ram.
