[Alzzheim3r]

hi guys

got my new stuff today :D

EPOX 8K5A2+
XP 1600 AGOIA 9 0236
256 samsung 2700
slk800 HS with delta
PSU 340w chieftec

now this is my first amd cpu and i want to oc seriously, ive read alot here and noticed that a burnin would be good, but whats the best thing i can do? and do you burn memory and cpu at the same time, prolly yes, is sysoft sandra then the best choice?

also, which vcore and fsb settings are best for burnin? and can i unlock the cpu later?
same for memtimings?


looking forward to ur answers tnx.

hopefully those r not too many questions :p

Burning in...

This was an argument that a bunch of us had on burning in... you can find links to articles and stuff from there...

you can unlock the CPU at any time, doesn't have to be before first use
same with mem timings...
usually u wanna see that your machine is doin ok first, then play around with all the timings and speeds...
as for fsb and voltage, if your goin on a locked CPU, you up fsb as much as u can while still maintaining stability, then raising voltage a little bit when you've reached that threshold... again, you have to constantly adjust to find what numbers fit your machine
