Over Clocking duron 1.1ghz cpu

[SuPeR - DaOKeN]

I just got a 1.1ghz cpu and i was wondering if there was a simple way to over clock it by like going to the bios and changing some stuff and are getting a better heat sink any replys are thankful

Well first of all I would like to welcome you to the forums. Your gonna find a wealth of information here. How to overclockyour Duron all depends upon what motherboard you have. Do you know if it allows you to change the Front Side Bus, Mutiplier, or the Vcore voltage?
So if you could tell us a bit more about your system especially what motherboard you have that would be very helpful.
The easiest way to start to overclock is to increase the front side bus in the bios-and is limited by the bios. let us know at what increments you are allowed to increase the front side bus(if at all) in the bios and if you can do the same with the multuplier and Vcore and we'd be glad to help. again welcome

Cheers!

thank u for replying and i am not really sure about the vcore stuff and all that but it is a epox mb and it has the via kt133e are kt133a chip set i am not sure but it is one or the other and i just skimmed over the manual again and it has a but load of options in the bios i am not the smartest guy when it comes to this stuff lol but i am just looking for a eazy way to gain a little boost and also is the duron a good cpu? again thanks

Hey dont put yourself down-Im no expert and as ive said before in the forums when i started I didn't know a Front Side Bus from a School Bus. Yes the Duron 1.1 is a good CPU. I also do believe that it has the Morgan core which is a Plus.

The easiest way to start is to go into your bios and find where you can increase your CPU speed or front side bus. It will probably be set to either auto or 100. I would begin by bumping it up and seeing if your comp. will start up and keep trying this until it becomes unstable. If your Bios allows it once youve reached the threshhold of your FSB increase try increasing your voltage (VCORE). Increasing this will increase the amount of voltage to your CPU which it needs to run faster but it also greatly increases the heat produced so you should watch your temps. I would suggest downloading Motherboard Monitor and Sandra. MM is a Temperature program and Sandra is a benchmarking program that has a lot of goodies in it.

Cheers!

Thanks man i am gonna do that tommoro when i get ma new case/power supply lol and i still cant beleave i bought a new one and it did not work lol also is that vcore stuff a option in the bios?

Some bio's allow you to change the Vcore and some don't. If your motherboard doesn't you can change the vcore by doing the 'pencil trick' and increasing the voltage right on the chip.

BTW have you read the beginners guides on the front page of the overclockers.com website? it has a lot of useful info. take a peek there before you start your overclocking adventure. also what ecactly is your epox board-whats the model number?

[-EternitY-]

Do you have the stock Heatsink that came with your Processor?

If you do.. It's only 4600 RPM'S.

You can purchase a Delta fan (7000 RPMS) For $7 Dollars.

IF your going to do SERIOUS Overclocking i recommend getting a new HSF (Heatsink FAN)

Also..

Not to be a smartbutt

Overclocking

1 Word dude..

Welcome to da boardz! And Merry Overclocking

its a epox ep-8kta2L . . . . . .and to the other guy yes i have the fan that came with the cpu and i do plan on getting another one as soon as i get some money but i am getting ma new case today so i wont be able to do anything tell then and yea i read the guide and i was really happy to know i did not do anything wrong when i was installing my motherboard the first time since it was my first time lol

Here (http://forums.overclockers.ws/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=44806&highlight=epox+8kta2L) is a link to a thread where the guys are discussing your board. Maybe you could PM them and ask them some questions since their familiar with it. I also looked at the epox website and the only info I got was that the bios allowed for cpu clock speed adjustments but wouldn't say what the imcrements were or if it supported changing the multiplyer or Vcore. the Vcore is easy enough to do if you need to though.

Ok thanks i am gonna check out that thread

[-EternitY-]

Well..

[-EternitY-]

Well..Your case isnt what matters...... It's your HSF

Heatsink FAN

You can purchase one for bout 7 Dollars.

.......Honestly, I Wouldnt even OVERCLOCK at all without a Delta fan or a new Heatsink..

Word of the wise.
:D

Here's my words of wisdom:

1. Buy a Copper Heatsink. They're worth every penny. You can check out the Heatsink Roundup under "Heatsink Revws and Tips" from the main page. (For an idea, the Glaciator I is a good heatsink, not too loud, and you can pick one up for $20 at http://www.millennium-thermal.com/start.htm)

2. Keep an eye on your temps.

3. A FSB overclock is very easy to do, and you don't have to void your warranty by unlocking your processor. For example, running at 11X105 you will achieve a speed of 1155 (a very achievable overclock in my opinion.) I'd say with good cooling, 11X110=1210 should be achievable(just a guess, really). Of course with higher FSB, you risk having some of your PCI/AGP cards hold you back.

4. Keep us updated on your progress! I know I'm curious to see how these Morgans will overclock, and I'm sure others are too.

Good luck with your endeavors.
