Hello all. I am new here. My overclocking skills are around, lets say, a big, fat goose egg. Anyway, I picked up this old asus a8n32-sli mobo on ebay on a hail mary untested for cheap and by golly...it posted!!. a while back my freind donated to me some corsiar extreme ddr 400 ram with led tracers that he was running in his old alienware. i decided to do some research on amd mobos since they were the only ones to offer dual core with ddr1. i first found an old sun ultra20 939 board with an opteron 180 for cheeeeep..15 bucks!. this is the fastest 939 cpu under the illusive fx60 with a server approved tyan mobo to boot. that board is great and i have used it for all my dirty work as not to ruin my msi 970a-g46 setup. The old 939 asus board is my new project now and i am turning to the pros for advice on beginner overclocking for this setup: asus a8n32 sli; amd opteron 180 2.4 dual core; corsiar cmx1024pro xtreme speed 3200 4gigs; 2x seagate 200gig 7200rpm raid; amd heatpipe stock cooling; ati radeon hd4550 gpu. This is a start. I am not looking to bench as i dont want to destroy a hard to find gem like this. I just want to know some safe settings for beginners so i can get a few more ponies out of it. if anyone here would be so kind as to throw me a bone or two on this mobo i would much appreciate it.
Thanks all.
Thanks all.
