help a newbie with new 8rda+

ppl I bought my epox 8rda+ rev 1.1 and I wanna know,


1. I have to dl a newbios new drivers new chipset driver or something like that?
2. and one more thing I put my pc at fsb 170 * 13= 2210 mhz is that good? can I push high without mods?
3. where can I find a overclocker for dummys or another newbie guide?

you might wanna download a new bios. the new drivers are at www.nvidia.com. be sure to install sp1 before installing the drivers if you have windows xp. as far as overclocking, you might wanan stick around the forums and learn the basics before you start. they will help you a lot more than a book will. trust me

ok. I will look around thanks.

eh. . . depending on the processor you've got, I'd take it a little slower on your fsb pushing(if you did it in one step up to 2.2GHz). I don't know if you're under a time constraint, but take it easy, the trip is half the fun
Totaly hang around the forums and you'll get all you need to know, and a lot more stuff you didn't need, or ever really wanted to know, and now you've got bad dreams because of it, and your therapist said, "you've got an obsession here, I suggest. . ." Wait, that's me. . .

welcome

I could say alot but I wil leave it to thew experts... Here's where I loked when I bought my 8RDA and man it has just about everything... www.8RDA.com

you might also wanna grab prime95

if you get errors your computer isnt stable.....

if you got stepping C1, you should beable to run around 210 fsb out of the box
