Greetings to all!
After having my rig for almost a year I decided to try little OCing. I red many forums and got some information to start but after my initial try to change settings in bios I reach nowhere.
I'm looking forward to increase the CPU performance to 40-50% on the custom Air Cooling.
I would appreciate ANY help.
Here are my rig specs:
AMD Athlon 64 x2 5200+ Windsor
MB Gigabyte M59SLI-S5
RAM 4x1GB Kingston DDR2
Gigabyte Custom Heat sink
Power supply Force 900W
GPU Gigabyte GTX280 1GB DDR3
Vista Ultimate 32 SP1
BIOS Settings to OC AMD Athlon 5200 Help pls
in AMD CPU Overclocking

Thanks for the reply - 40-50% hehe obviously I'm not gonna do that with this processor, actually I was aiming exactly @ 3GHz..
So after some reading and trials this Saturday currently I'm running the Orthos Test on the rig and here is the link to CPU-Z >>

I tried to top up the bus speed @ 222 but the system failed to boot;
I tried @ 220 and the Windows loaded. The Orthos failed after 2 min of blended test...
Now the test is running at the published settings 20 minutes and the rig looks stable.
The question is have I reached the STABLE top??..
Stable because I need the rig for gaming at the end of the day
Thanks for your posts
