So i took a shot at overclocking my machine for the first time. I'm planning on buying a new one anyway but i wanted to get a little practice before i start playing with 300$ processors.
Anyway my set-up
Athlon 3500+
A8N-SLI MB
Windows xp pro
1GB ddr3200 Ocz premier
PSU: 535PSU x2 rails @ 18AMP per rail Enermax
6800GT Nvidia
Cooling
2 rear 80MM case fans
1 Side window 80MM
1 Front 120MM
Cpu/Heatsink = stock
I learned very quickly that when overclocking you should right down your numbers for what works and what dosen't. I'll do my best to remember.
Defaults:
Cpu frequency 200mhz
HTT x5
Cpu Multiplier x11 (need to double check this)
Voltage:1.450
Anyway i believe i got the CPU up to 230Mhz and the volate up to 1.525 before i got the black screen of death and beeping and my Pc won't reach bios so i had to remove the batter and change the jumpers. Any suggestions on what i can do from here?
Also i need assistance on overclocking ramming. Yes i've read all the guides but i still don't get it.
Thanks in advance
