Dear Friends,
I am trying to OverClock my CPU for the last 1 & half month which is Athlon XP 2500+ Barton Core 333 FSB with Asus A7N8X-X Motherboard. But I failed. Basically I never O/C before in my life. I just did everything according to many forums but failed to make it. I know that my processor can O/C upto 3200+ and the main thing is a year ago one of my friend overclocked my CPU upto 3200+ but at that time it was burning like hell. But now I have Thermaltake's "BEETLES" which is one of the best CPU cooler I have heard from the forums and also the PowerSupply of ThermalRock's Ninja Power with 420Wt and can't just make it O/C. I also want to add that I have two RAM's (1. 256 MB PC3200 Kingstone DDR 400 & 2. 256 MB PC3200 Twinmos DDR 400) total 512 RAM. At BIOS their settings are 7-3-3-2.5. I set the CPU V-Core at 1.725 but still not working. So it will be very helpfull for me if anyone of you should explain me what to do next to O/C my CPU. I will be very pleased if you tell me the process of O/C my CPU with my Motherboard from the begining (From the start-The whole process) as I want to be successful this time. Please also let me know is it possible to O/C this particular processor in between 2500+ to 3200+ (Such as 2700+ or 2800+ or 3000+).
My Bios Setup is just showed below (Before & After):
Asus ACPI - BIOS Rev 1009
Phoenix - Award BIOS CMOS Setup Utility
Advance Chipset Features
Normal Trying to O/C at
CPU External Freq. (MHz) [166 MHz] [200MHz]
