I can't overclock my AMD Athlon 5000+ past 3.2GHZ. It'd be nice if I'd be able to do it, I have adequate cooling and just want to see how far I can push this ( as I have technically "Upgraded" to a Quad-Core processor, I just popped this thing back in to see how far I can push it.. )
Some help please
Trying to OC to 3.20 GHZ. Going any higher than 2.99GHZ in BIOS Causing BSOD's.

Have you tried increasing the voltage any? Be very careful, you can easily fry your CPU if you set it too high.

I'll need to give that a try then. I'll post back the results. Problem here is, if I get the BSOD, the system automatically resets the clocks. What a PITA. :/

i think i'll have to second that... i have a black edition 64x2 5400+ stock 2.8ghz. the best i could get it to was 3.3ghz--didn't want to try to get it any higher (and boy was it hot!)

I've finally had the time to screw with it.. I got it to 3.06GHZ.. The temps the motherboard is giving me scares me, but touching the heatsink tells me that its not hot at all..
I ran PRIME95 for 2 hours with no issues. I'm thinking of trying to crank it up even more.
Seriously, took me all day to get it stable. Probably won't get around to a higher OC until next weekend when I am off of work..

Anyone got any tips for increasing the speed any higher than 3.06? I've got adequate coolng and nothing to lose
Seems to be now I push it higher I get BSOD/Hard lockups in Windows.. But this is expected.. 3.06 runs perfectly stable.. If I could get some more out of it, that'd be nice

You could buy a better processor.
If you have increased the voltage as much as you reasonably can, that is the best you can do.

I've got a better processor
Just want to find out how far I can push this one before I permanetly upgrade.
This has been a damned good processor I've had it for a few years and never been able to OC it.
