these options please. This is direct from the manual most the options i havent got a clue.

Thanks

Post the rest of your pc specs m8, processor type/speed, memory type/speed, etc.

IanW

And what do you want to do with them Si?

super_si

Right Im running currently

Pentium 4 Northwoods 1800Mhz but im off to see if it will hack 2.4.
512mb RD RAM (2*256) just adding it 800mhz stuff Samsung
Abit TH7 II raid Motherboard
Ibm Desk star 82.3 GB
Creative Labs Sound Blaster Audigy
Geforce 2 64mb Ti.


To overclock i need to use the Softmenu, but when i did it when i built it PC it didnt like my CPU, BIOS kept saying Unworkable CPU at boot up. i think the multipliers etc werent right.

I dont know what they are so i dont know if there usful items. Such as the 100mhz or 133mhz,is that regarding the FSB??

Thanks Simon

A couple of URL's for you to read up on overclocking before starting.

what you will need to do to start is to turn of the CPU Autodetection, and enable the softmenu.

I take no responsibility if/when you **** it up

super_si

me **** it? hehehe Do my best there cheap as **** now doesnt really matter.

Im gonna up it to 2000 then 2400 once my student loads clears cos ill have my water cooling

suba

the key to OC is to do it gradually, not from 1800 to 2400!!! do it in increment and keep an eye on the voltage and temperature.

super_si

i emailed over clockers they said incase the FSB is this true?

What are all the multipliers etc.

Also is any of the above settings useful

Si

suba

read here.

personally, i dunno why you are so obsess with overclocking. what are you trying to acheive? are you doing some rocket science project that you need a overclock the CPU?

as you yourself once said, wait a while and a faster CPU will come along.

stevem2k

Aren't the northwoods clock-locked ?

In that case you'll have to increase the FSB speed and tinker with the AGP settings to keep the bus stable.

This should get you started

Don't blame me if there's a nasty burning smell though.

super_si

thing is people always take the **** out me because i dont have a clue, when i actually do.


id like to try everything once

i fry the CPU ? so what ill learn from mistakes. Its the best way really! Whos gonna buy a 1.8 chip? might aswell fry it and buy better in 4-6months hadnt i??

Don't want your 1.8?

I'll have it instead of my 800 - why kill it?

super_si

Just seen a cracking deal actually £350 for chip and board i wanted in a pack :d

super_si

read the sharky's article
i wouldnt have a clue

With at least the Abit and Epox boards, if you have either been silly and not gradually adjusted the fsb/voltage accordingly or for whatever reason the rig will no longer fire up into the bios, then power on whilst holding the insert key down. This will load cpu defaults for a normal boot.

Cheers,

Nick.

super_si

Nick any chance you could just unblock me

So then i do it right. Im still reading up havnt attempted it yet.
