Loading ...AMD 3500+ overclock
azcamm
Iwanted to overclock my first cpu (AMD Athlon 64 3500+ orleans) but didnt know where to start. My basic Nodus M motherboard has no overclocking options in the bios so i couldnt do it from there. I came across Nvidias Ntune and thought i would give it a try. I didnt know how far i could push my cpu az its stock speed was 2211mhz and i have managed to get it up to 2640mhz using ntune. As i dont know much about overclocking could someone tell me if this is a good overclock. Also i am looking for a programme that will let me monitor my cpu temp from in windows but do not know of any so any help would be appreciated.
You should try reading the latest custompc magazine, with a nice little article on knowledge and overclocking your PC… Very handy indeed……………..
>>Overclocking - Bios is the best for it…
>>Temperatures are a factor…
>>Power supply can be a factor…
>>A good overclock is something that gets the speed far past its normal rated speed. E.g. 2.4ghz to 2.4ghz is a 1ghz gain - in my books is good, any further and your dancing…
2.4ghz to 3.4ghz *** Apologies
Yup, issue 51 has a massive step-by-step overclocking guide in it. For monitoring temps, try CoreTemp: http://www.thecoolest.zerobrains.com/CoreTemp/
