AMD X2 5200+ OC Help
Posted: Mon Apr 09, 2007 8:27 pm
OK, this is my first foray into overclocking so be gentle...
I've read through a couple guides but I'm still a little fuzzy, should I start with a certain mult. say 9x, and raise the FSB as high as possible, write that OC down and try the next mult. say 10x, until I find the highest stable OC or is there a better/safer method? I've read that RAM runs fastest at certain FSBs but I'm not really clear on how that all works.
I can find my way around in BIOS so I'm not completely hopeless, and I have played with OCing my RAM (hit 4-3-3-5 1t stable; have it set at 4-4-4-12 while OCing CPU).
Any help would be appreciated and full system is in my sig.
Thanks,
Kyle
