HELP on AMD Athlon 3000+ 1.8ghz Venice Core Overclocking

swimomatic · Mar 22, 2006

Hi,

I've been on this forum for a few days now and have read many guides on how to overclock cpu's.. and i have a biostar tforce 6100-939 motherboard and need help on using the software or any other software to help overclock or any other way that i could do it. Thank you and i hope to hear back soon

BIOS is the best way to overclock. If you've read the stickies, then you should have a pretty good idea on what values to change.

Software is generally crap. Use the BIOS.

ok.. do u have any instructions or a good link *step by step* for me to overclock my 3000+ ???

Mizzery · Mar 24, 2006

Step by step - lots of stickies to read on that. However, i can reccommend upping the fsb till you experience instability then backing it off a little bit.

First off

Next, as far as the stickies, they are the top most posts and say Sticky: in yellow...

Start off with this sticky:

That is a fairly summed up walkthru on oc'ing your proc. If you have any questions, please post them!

thx so much! i'll post on here with my results and i am in the process of OC my rx800 256e with ati tool and i'll put results here also

I will recommend posting all information of your rig. It's easier to help you this way. Truthfully, when I look at that sticky, I don't really understand it. I pretty much just copied what everyone had done.

Hope you guys didnt give up on me.. the BIOS on the TFORCE-6100 is mainly auto overclcok not very good on its own.. ne programs i can use??

Kenshiro · Mar 26, 2006

not too many of us use the Biostar mobo. I think you swhould try and ask people who has that mobo to help you. Try posting it in the mobo section.

Drec · Mar 26, 2006

you're PSU isn't very good either, don't count on much of an OC.

swimomatic · Mar 27, 2006

Will the PSU make tht big of a difference.. my 256mb video card doesnt draw tht much power and ok and do u know wht i should do 2 adjust the timing on my memory to overclock it and wht to use?

swimomatic · Mar 27, 2006

Ok.. my bios says something different from wht i thought it did, its letting me go to auto *9x* or 1-5x for HTT and gives option to change voltage, nb/sb voltage regulator, memory voltage, cpu frequency, hammer cpu multiplier, ht frequency, pcie clock, memclock freq., 1t/2t timing, dram config

Punisher69 · Mar 27, 2006

given your current psu + mobo. Knowledge on the subject of overclocking. I'd advise you do alot of reading/browsing through the forums. before you start doing anything.

a good start would be to pick up a power supply of 550 watts or more.
look at the Amps rating of the 12v lines. (very important)

a good mobo to overclock with. (dfi nf4 ultra-d or sli-dr or expert)

as for pushing your "current setup" i would raise the fsb 1-5 fsb at a time until it's not stable. you can check your stability with these programs

prime95

super pi 32m

as soon as its not stable bump the voltage up by 0.1 and see if it's stable at that speed. yes it involves alot of rebooting.

keep in mind your temps while pushing your system. if you have a hot cpu to begin with .. prime95 is really going to heat it up.

in conclusion... read.. read .. read .. and read some more. then come back here and POST SOME SCREENIES

swimomatic · Mar 27, 2006

Heh ok thx.. so how big of increments should i do each time i boot about 5mhz? and i've been reading the 1,2,3 guide to overclocking and im starting to get it but im not 100% sure but i know my cpu cant get hot becuz it runs at 25 C stable

swimomatic · Mar 27, 2006

And is it the power tht the PSU needs or just how it doesnt send enough at a time etc? Becuz my computer judging by wht i've read on how much power each part uses on my cpu, i'm only needing a 208watt power supply minimum

White Runner · Mar 27, 2006

If you have a beefy psu, then its one piece of hardware you dont have to worry about being a problem... if you have a digital volt meter, you can test your current psu to ensure its delivering the appropriate volts...

As far as incriments, I start with 5mhz at a time... if i hit a wall, I either up the volts a tad, and or back off the mhz if I have maxed out cpu. First you should ensure that your hardware can run at the desired OC.

This sticky should help a lot.
