You can move the FSB up to start.

Right now your CPU is running 11x200 for a 2.2ghz speed. You can raise the FSB and also drop the multiplier if needed.

The only casualty will be your ram, if it cant run at a high FSB.

To start move your FSB to 210, and then 215, and then 220. Should give a nice boost but i doubt you will be able to tell the difference.

Oh here we go , im the newbie .

I take it FSB is the front side bus , how do i go about doing that then ?

AMD64 doesn't have a FSB. There's a HTT, HT multiplier, and CPU multiplier.

I would recommend you go read at least 10 OCing FAQs so you know what you're doing instead of blindly taking advice from people

im suspecting you mean the FSB/HT multiplyer, because the CPU multiplyer is locked.


and as for the original post, I would say no. I mean you could, but your rig is alright very good and there is really no need to OC it, dualk core, two gigs of ram, the only thing I would suggest OCing is maybe a TINY bit on the video cards, but still watchout (that is NOT DONE in the BIOS, that is done in windows)

I meant the CPU multiplier. It is only locked upwards. Also i was referring to the frotn side bus, i know it doesnt exist on an AMD64, but its the easiest explaination to describe, since the settings work the same as a traditional FSB.

Re: Overclockers Please Help

my CPU multiplyer is locked both ways.

no it isnt, but your motherboard might not have the right settings, or capability to move it.
