Hey, I just have a few questions. I'm building a computer, and I wanted to overclock the CPU chip. Here are a few details of it.

-
CPU: Pentium 4 3.2EGhz 800M 478P/1MB HT
Motherboard: Mach Speed X-Caliber (Supports up to 3.2Ghz)
RAM: 1GB
Fans: 4 Fans Total

If u need more information, please let me know. Also, letme add that, I have no experence with overclocking, so excuse me if I seem newbish ;d!...

P.S.- I want to overclock it to a 3.6Ghz ;)!

Thanks,
Tariq

if your mobo only supports upto 3.2gig, I dont know if it will take any overclocking cos your cpu already max's out the board.I may be wrong though.

ASROCK K7S8X M/B
AMD ATHLON 2000+XP@2ghz
384MB DDR 266MHZ
GEFORCE4 AGP8X 64MB
MAXTOR 60GB H/D
LITEON SOHW-1213S DVDRW
SAMSUNG SM-332B CDRW/DVD
QTEC AND STATICX SILENT COOLERS

All you need to do is go into the BIOS, raise your FSB, save your setting, reboot, & test for stability. Do it in small increments...5mhz at a time.

Your multiplier is locked at 16x & can't be changed, so to hit to 3.6ghz mark, you're gonna have to get the FSB up to 225mhz. You're RAM could be a limiting factor...you really should have PC3500 or better. PC3200 may not be able to handle running at that speed, unless you run async rather than n'sync.

CPU & RAM voltage may have to be increased too, but see how high you can go with default voltages first.

Asus A7N8X-X
1800+ @8x210mhz
512mb PC3200
Ti4200/8X 128mb
WDC 60GB

Async?... Can u explain?

"Let death knock! He doesn't know who he's messing with!"

async is running fsb and memory at different speeds

your stock fsb is 200 mhz ( quad pumped to 800 )

pc3200 memory runs at 200 mhz ( 400 mhz DDR )

in my experimenting, since i only have pc3200 memory,here's one example, i set the bios to a 5:4 ratio and the resulting speeds were fsb=225 memory=180...running it that way is not the way to go, even though it was prime stable and got some good benchmarks, except for the memory where i took a huge hit.

Abit AS8 LGA775 2.8 Prescott
512 Corsair XMS PC3200
128 meg Radeon 9800 Pro
DUAL 36 GIG WD Raptors
DUAL 21 in. ( 19.8 viewable ) Sony Trinitrons
3+ Mbps cable connection

i am also wondering how to overclock my second computer, im new to the overclocking the CPU. i am runnin a pathedic 650MhZ AMD Duron proccesor. i want to get it to 2.2Ghz.
im runnin very bad 192 Mb of bad RAM. im trying to get this one overlocked before i do it to my other beast of a robot =]
