Overclocking AMD X2 3800 on M2N-E
When I hit the over-clocking parameter page, I found a lot of parameters to tune. Is it really so much more complicated than over-clocking a Celeron 300A or P3-700? -- .~.

It's still the same basic principle, multiplier x FSB = clockspeed. Just more things that changing the FSB speed effects now. For an X2 3800+, lower HT to 4x, lower base ram clock by 33MHz or lock it if your board supports that, then raise the cpu frequency to whatever ever you want to try. Mine did 233 for 2330MHz without raising voltage. Was in a hurry to get back up and running so didn't even try anything else. I suspect it would easily do 266 for 2660Mhz without much trouble, but I really don't need the speed. -- Want the ultimate in free OTA SD/HDTV Recorder? http://mythtv.org http://mysettopbox.tv/knoppmyth.html Usenet alt.video.ptv.mythtv My server http://wesnewell.no-ip.com/cpu.php HD Tivo S3 compared http://wesnewell.no-ip.com/mythtivo.htm |

Thanks. Now overclocking my Kingston DDR2 667 at 800Mhz... I don't know
why I bought DDR2_667. Gotta be a mistake.... It does saved me a few hundred dollars. Now running the DDR2 667 at 430Mhz, CPU at 215*10 MHz. Could finish memtest. I think it's the RAM's maximum.
