Need help setting up new EPoX 8k7a

[Lou]

I just got my new motherboard, this EPoX. Which screen in the BIOS do I get the options to change the FSB?

Also what are PCI dividers? Basically how do I overclock the hell out of this thing?

Also what is the best memory for this board?

As you can tell I'm very new to overclocking can could use all the help and advice you guys can give.

Thanks,

MJSLou

don't worry about them, they are set automaticaly

Also what is the best memory for this board?

I set mine up about 2 weeks ago, having gotten rid of a fitful A7V....

The FSB changes are made in the top right column option of the bios screen ( I don't remember the actual language). Of course you have to set the appropriate jumper on the board to choose ranges between 100-133 and 133-166.

I would suggest working incrementally.
Set it up "normally". Some people feel that there is benefit to "burning in " a system for a few days or weeks prior to overclocking.

Then try incremental increases in the CPU multiplier and FSB. Generally a higher FSB is said to be preferable. You may need to bump up both the CPU and memory voltages to realize the systems potential.

Also be sure to have good cooling solutions in place BEFORE proceeding.

hope that helps.
