overclocking apps

[zmatt]

my BIOS sucks and my mobo lacks fsb jumpers so does anyone know some good cpu overclocking apps for Athlon64?

What motherboard do you have? Clockgen is a good program.

 

[zmatt]

i have a via salmon its a generic board, my machine is a very modified compaq.

 

[zmatt]

i downloaded it but all it does is show my my cpu fsb and ram clocks, what now?

 

[reggie_da_man]

I don't think there are any jumpers on that board for overclocking. I'm not sure if clockgen supports that motherboard.

 

[zmatt]

no theres no jumpers on the board.

Your motherboard came out of a compaq correct. If so you can't overclock it.

 

[zmatt]

yes its a compaq mobo, aw well i guess that i will ahve to put up with only overclocking my video cad. thanks anyway.

if you want to overclock get a new motherboard, its probably worth getting a new motherboard anyway. that is if you don't mind re-installing windows

i got this machine back in september, up util then i had a dell pIII and i wanted to either 1: build my own pc or 2:buy a mini mac but lo and behold my father vetos and buys me a compaq ven though i could have gotten a sweet pciX socket 939 based system for the same price, instead its agp 8X and socket 754. it will be fine for my needs for the next two or three years by then im out of here anyway, and im going to splurge on the best rig that i could afford. i dont need a new mobo so its back to saving $ and waiting.
