Pretty dumb question. If I make alterations in my BIOS to overclock, and it fails to boot up, how can I return to my original settings. Will removing and replacing the battery do it? Roy

Hi Can anyone tell me what are the "limits" of overclocking for Athlon 64 3500+ Newcastle 130nm core? Is the Winchester version more overclockable being thinner and less heat dissipating? Any thoughts/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I've overclocked my 2600 barton to be a 2800 barton. Are thet temps too high or pretty much ok? By idle I mean internet browsing, MP3's playing, word processing... just general use. Full load was an hour of Prime95 running the CPU at 100%. It maxed out at 60C by about minute 20 and the temp never...

Hi, I'm using the above mobo with an Athlon XP 3000+ CPU. I've wired the CPU pins as per the guidance at Tom's hardware. I've set the jumpers on the mobo to give a multiplier of 15. However, the CPU frequency in BIOS is still showing default (about 2169 from memory), when it should be 2500....

Ok, I have an xp 2000+ with an asus a7400-mx mb, 512 pc 2100 ram, and gf 4 440 vid card. I found procedures on how to "unlock" the potential of this cpu by setting it to mobile. One thing I am concerned about is if I set it to mobile, my multiplier will go to 24, and the procedures for setting...

Hi...I have just installed an XP 3200+ processor, and after ran a system check with Windows & Belarc Advisor they report the processor to be a 1.1 Ghz not a 2.2 Ghz. Have I done something wrong in the installation or have I been robbed. I have installed the processor on a Gigabyte...

Hi Guys Currently I have an Athlon tbred 2200+ on a Soltek SL-75FRN2-RL nForce2 mainboard. I have it running at 2400+ (2.0Ghz). This is with a 200Mhz FSB and a 10x mult. I would like to upgrade to a faster processor, but don't want to drop the bus to 333Mhz and lose synch with the DDR400 ram....

I think my Athlon XP 2200+ has just died. I'll be verifying that over thanksgiving when I travel to my parents and swap out some stuff between their machine and mine to determine what's going on with mine. I suppose it could be either my memory, mobo or PSU that is the issue, but I don't think...

I experience random boots with my system. When running at default speed 166*12,5 the system will boot aprox. every 10 minutes. The only way I have got it stabilized is to underclock the system. It seems to be stable around 100*12,5 The Award Bios emits periodic high/low beeps at boot. This seem...

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...

Anyone know why this is? I've overclocked it to a 2800 at 2.08 GHz but it still shows the CPU as a 2600.

Could someone offer and opinion here... My abit nf7s claims agp4x(1.5v) and agp8x(.8v) compatibility.... my old radeon 8500le claims agp2x(3.3v) and agp4x(1.5v) compatibility.... but the two won't work together. Seems to me this should work, just fine, at 4x speeds.... But it doesn't. Anyone...
