i love my penis its 100% usage 24hrs xeon 3040 overclocked to 4.1ghz. how abt ur VAGINAs :P

Great article. Thanks for taking time for newbie's.
Now I need to see the sort of FSB levels I can push my AMD 64 3500+ to.

Very nice that someone puts down time to write an article that really explain everything a beginner have to know about overclocking the processor. Good job! =)

Cheers for the article i just OCed my Athlon 64 3200+ ~2.01 to 2.51 running very nice and cool at 30 c at idle and up to a max of about 46-48 c have seen a nice increase in preformence in oblivion :P

Nice article. Too bad the inbred faggot spammers got in here and screwed up a good thing.

Good review but for newbies like me some of the discussion of the details of the BIOS setup screens was so obscure as to prohibit my understanding. Hopefully the manual associated with the cpu and mobo I just ordered will have more detailed discussion of the relevant details specific to what I will have.

Thanks for this.
Time to give it a try...

easy to understand and very helpful.

Nice thread! works excellent to my PC!!! carry on dude!!!

very nice article thx

this is stupid!

Oc is Always better, if you know what you are doing

I found this article very easy to follow, just one problem though. I can't actually access any of the settings. I can see them, but I'm unable to actually modify them. I have a brand new comp with a 2.4 ghz core 2 duo being the slowest piece of hardware on it, and I wanted to make it better. Does anyone know how to actually access and modify any of the settings? It's a dell. My email is throbbingbadger@yahoo.com, and any information would be much appreciated. Thanks!.

Just wanted to send a quick THANKS to xbitlabs.com and doors4ever for that article on newbie overclocking. It led to me getting my intel 2.5 ghz celeron on an asus P4S533 up to 3.150 ghz. That was the cheapest upgrade I've ever done. I just finished purchasing a few other components including a pricy agp video card as I have to get the most out of my aging system. This overclocking has sure helped me mentally offset the cost of my other purchases for my upgrade since I decided to go a bit overbudget on the video card. To anyone interested in motherboards good for overclocking I would recommend ASUS highly. And print doors4ever's article. On my Board I had to boot in jumpfree mode (asus default: dsw all on) hit delete during boot to get into bios, go to advanced screen, put cpu on manual, cpu/pci frequency up to I think 126 is where mine is stable and keep the mem freq on auto, or 1:1. they both worked for me so I put it back to auto. Thanks again. oh, I'm at 43 degrees and I have the cpu fan, 2 other case fans, and a 2 small fan pci slot unit (I dont think does too much). So ppl probably don't even need any additional cooling units since doors4ever says up to 60 degrees is usually ok.
