Need Help in Overclocking AMD X2 4200+

[alya84]

Here is my pc spec :

AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+
Jetway M2A692-GDG
Cooler Master HyperTX
2 x 1Gb PC2 -5300 Apacer

And here is CPUZ detail:




OC my cpu core from 2.2MHz to 2.5MHz with 230MHz bus speed. My pc crash or hang if I increase more than that. Anyone can help?

Hi mate - a litlle advice:- I found my 4200+ to be very memory bound - high grade, fast memory will generally allow the 4200+ to clock up better, as the increas in CPU speed also means an increase in memory spped.
http://forum.overclock3d.net/showthread.php?p=171049 That URL takes you to my thread on OC3D - I can clock my 4200+ up to a hefty 3GHz on air cooling.

Remember that the OC a chip is capable of is unique to each rpocessor - some may not clock as well as others.

My advice would be to up the voltage to around 1.4 volts, up the northbridge and southbridge voltages, whack your cooling up to high and start clocking bit by bit.

Keep the multiplier at 11x and move up the HTT link speed slowly in stages to find exactly how far you can get.

Anyways, read my topic on that link and keep me posted.

indeed...u ar so lucky..u can OC until 3.0+MHz....so far 2.5MHz...thats the highest i can go...urm..never think about to increase northbrigde n southbrigde voltage before..i will give it a try..and see what happen...and another thing...my cpu temp is quite low...around 32 C after i OCed it to 2.5MHz...so temp is not my prob...something else...but i still could not find it...
