Overclocking Athlon FX

[Tuskatappaja]

I have Athlon FX 53 (940) which doesn't overclock
Mobo is Asus SK8N.

There's no multiplier limit and the default is 12 (2400mhz)
If I put a higher it will not boot and I have to reset BIOS by removing the battery.

I can select anything ranging from 4 to 20

CPU voltage is 1.4.

Ideas?

I can overclock with FSB though, but my memory won't allow more than 210FSB (2640mhz with multiplier 12)

I want at least 2800mhz

CPU cooling shouldnt be a problem, its 48 celcius on full load.

does your motherboard have a memory divider?

I don't think it does, at least theres no mention of it in the manual.
Motherboard is from 2004. (Socket 940)

I don't think you'll find a motherboard with a memory divider on socket 940.
you could maybe increase the voltage to 1.5V

Lower the FSB, and raise the multi then your ram will be nice and pretty
