x7tunesign, hey dude!

You gotta nice overclocking board there. If you like to overclock, first look at what RAM memory module(s) you got on your mobo. Tell me what name brand and whether it's PC100 or PC133.

Second, Make sure you have PowerSupply that is rated at 250Watts or more. If so, then go on to next step.

Third, you got a factory Heat Sink that came with your processor? If so, then leave your system Case naked to get your overall system little cooler. Get some more fan(any kind.. that will help cool your processor). Mount it or set it next to your system case, however you want it.

Since you wont be able to up the hell out of Front Side Bus mhz anyway, you dont even need to tell me what Video card you have(Info about Front Side Bus will be explained later).

What you have to do to Overclock your system is to Increase your FSB, not your clock multiplier because it's locked anyway.

Instruction #1,

You can try overclocking right now at your own risk but dot worry you wont cook and fry your system if you follow my direction. But I suggest you tell me your RAM memory spec first, then try this.

Restart your PC.

As soon as it start to reboot, simultanously press "Delete" key on your keyboard. keep doing it and the System Bios will show up.
If the "Delete" key does not work, then try pressing "Esc" or "F1" key and do the same thing.

In the menu list, the first one you press Enter and you will see the Clock multiplier listed below. Whether you change this or not, it will stay at 8x by default, so dont even bother with this.

What you have to change is the FSB mhz setting. Find the FSB setting on the list and Press Enter. Now, try selecting 110mhz or 111mhz to start with. Then press Enter.

Dont worry about the Voltage setting at this point because you are not overclocking great deal here. The voltage should be already set to default corresponding to your spec of Processor.

Now get out of the Bios by Pressing "Esc" button. and boot your PC.
