I'm a complete newbie to this having just got hold of an Athlon 64 3200+ on an Nforce3 250 board. the question is.... where do i start?? I've no idea what any of the values do or don't do or what I should or should not change. Any help, pointers or advice greatly received. thanks

Thinking of buying a AMD socket A 400 MHz to replace my 333 bus CPU. Will it be noticeable or am I just wasting money. Thanks, Chris

I have two indentical setups, Abit AN7 and 2400+ T-bred. On the first one I unlocked the cpu using this mod: http://www.ocworkbench.com/2002/amd/unlocktbred/unlocktbredp1.htm And it worked perfectly (its now working at 10 x 220mhz stable). The second cpu simply doesnt want to unlock, same wire...

Bonjour, Je ne parle pas tr=E8s bien l'anglais et j'aurais voulu savoir si quelqu'un pouvait m'expliquer en fran=E7ais ce qu'est un "process of lapping". J'ai bien effectu=E9 des recherches sur le web mais tous les documents que j'ai trouv=E9 sont en anglais. Merci d'avance.

Is this new core as overclockable as it's predecessor? I've got a thermaltake 120mm cpu fan and Jumbo Antec case I want to reuse and pair with some good ram to overclock to at least a 3500 winchester(2.2) performance. Real limited budget.

C'è nessuno che sappia indicarmi un sito dove trovare un bios per la K7s5a che veda un Sempron 2800 ? Grazie a chi può darmi qualche indicazione.

I've just upgraded my PC to a socket 754 mobo with a Sempron 2800+ processor. It's being reported as running at 1.61 GHz. My question is (for now!) Is that about the right speed being reported? Many thanks

I bought an MSI K7N2 motherboard from Overclockers UK as a replacement for my existing damaged board. After installing the board, et al, my machine still would not boot, calling an error in the RAM, and beeping like buggery. I bought a new RAM stick from someone other than OcUK, because they were...

Hi - I have a Barton 2500 which is underclocked, because it is in a motherboard which only supports 266 MHz FSB. (The SK41G XPC system.) This was as a result of stupidity on my part. Regardless, I would like to raise the multiplier to compensate if possible. There is no built in multiplier...

I'm looking at a mobo/CPU replacement in the near future, and will probably get the 3800+ X2. But, I have a nice BFG 6800GT Oc'ed to 425/1150 (VGA), and don't want to buy another video card just yet. What chipset should I look at? The nForce4 Ultra will only take a PCIx vid card. I don't plan...

Hi all, I've O/Ced a PIV 1.6 to 2.4 and run it for the last several years. Great little performer. But after nearly three years, I am looking to upgrade. I believe you don't really see much GREAT change unless you can get TWICE the 'power' (CPU speed, clock, etc) out of the upgrade. I want to use...

I have an Asus A7S8X-MX and XP1800. I want to run at lower speed to make it cooler but for some reason when I set FSB to 100MHz instead of 133MHz, the system refuse to boot (no beep/screen/bios, nothing). Any thing I need to do to get it underclocked? Ernest

I wish to overclock my processor. it is an AMD duron 1800+ and i am using the ECS 741-M motherboard. I am wodering how far I can overclock it. it is currently Runnning at 1.8GHZ

Any one using or have used ATI all in wonder cards ever have problems with interference on your moniter or perhaps the tv just not working any more. I have a AIW 9600 and the tv stopped working, and its always had this wavey interference on the moniter. My old 7500 AIW also has this problem....

Hello I have a AMD XP 2500+ barton processor which over years have damaged the black feet that sit on it now I understand these black feet should be no concern as to how well it seats on core or heat issues, but for some reason if I have my tower case sat as a Tower the temps go way high and if I...

I'm trying to use my old XP1800+ for my PVR but I found it's kinda 'too hot' averaging around 67-72C to be kept running 24/7. Configuration as follows: XP1800+ Socket A with 512MB A7S8X-MX Antec ARIA case Volcano 7+ heatsink with Volcano 8 fan (slim) ArticSilver 5

I have an older AMD Athlon proccessor I yanked from my system to upgrade. It has the starting serial # of AXDC. I know its a 2000 but not if it is a 2000XP. AMD's web site listed Athlon XP's as starting with AXDA. Im I right in believing the one I have is a Athlon and not an Athlon XP?

I can get a 3500+ for $40 more than a 3200+, worth the $40 difference?, or more head room in the 3200+....

AMD 3800 X2 Dual core good for High Definition Video Encoding if so how good ?? Just at the moment HD video is my hobby. Anyway i have Xp Pro. So i would think that would be good for a dual core CPU. But just wondering how much better speed wise would a DUal Core 3800 be over my Barton Mobile at...

Hi, Does anyone have any idea how to switch off the boot rom of the promise fasttrack100 raid controller which is integrated on the ECS K7VTA3 (3.1) motherboard? I am not using it at all, so it is just taking up valuable time in the booting process while it sits there searching for...
