ime a noob overclocker and ime STUCK :(

[antipesto93]

i have an amd athlon 4200+ X2

and in my bios my multiplyer is "x11 (2200)" and the voltage is 1.4v and when i set my mhz form 200mhz to 338 mhz, everything works fine, but when i set it to 340mhz...the pc turns on...does the vista loading screen, and then " auto restarts" ??

so i have got my 2.2ghz dual core up to 2.6.....but it wont let me go any highr MY TEMPS ARE FINE!

here are the screenshots of my bios where you can change voltages/ change clock speeds...

You do have one single stick of 256 ram where the others are 2x1024 and 1x512. It's possible to run stock that way but it may bog a good OC. If you can get a second 512 exactly like the one you have or a DC pair then it might go higher. I would imagine if you ran Orthos, you would find it unstable even below 2.6G.

I agree and 2x1gb sticks will probably give you better performance over the 4 sticks total plus you making the NB, cpu, SB, memory work harder with that configuration.


the extra 768 mb of ram is just gonna hamper the overclock or even stock system IMO/

also set your PCI-e to 100Mhz not 101. this might help. disable the spread spectrum, manually set the timing and speed of your ram ect.

give this a good read. its the best starting point and will help u understand how all this OCing crap works.
