I wish to upgrade the BIOS so I can overclock my Processor. However, I cannot find a suitable place to download the BIOS. Even Phoenix Award wouldn't let me get a new version, even though I purchased am OEM PC (I know, my bad). So I was wondering if anyone could point me to a place to get the latest BIOS for my motherboard, or give me a link to an overclocking utility for my processor. MoBo Model number: F690VGM Chipset: AMD 690G/V BIOS: 6A669FK8C After running WinFlash Utility, it gave me this: RS690-SB600-6A669FK8C-00 A sticker on my motherboard: RS690M03-8EKRHFS2H crappy OEM comptuers...

The majority of OEM boards can NOT be overclock via the BIOS...it has to be done via software. You could take a chance & try replacing the OEM BIOS with the BIOS from a comparble Foxconn board, but it's a high risk endevour & could possibly render the board totally useless. If you wanna take the chance, you should be looking for the BIOS file at the Foxconn/Winfast website. Other than that, you'll have to search for overclocking software...ClockGen, CPUFSB, SoftFSB are a few I can think of. BTW, the DDR2-667 RAM is bottlenecking your system. The A64/X2 should be paired up with DDR2-800, possibly DDR2-1066 if the board supports it.

Came stock with DDR 667. Thank you for the software though, GREATLY appreciated. crappy OEM comptuers...

I can only up my PC's CPU ~150 MHz or it restarts. Any pointers using ClockGen? crappy OEM comptuers...

To overclock your computer try SetFSB. http://www13.plala.or.jp/setfsb/ It work great with My acer M1100 with 4000x2. I can overclock from 2.1 Ghz to 2.4Ghz no problem, Im only limited by the memory. When you overclock check you momory frequency with cpu-z. My 667 memory run stable at 343.3Mhz x2= 686.4. I try 2.5 ghz but it's not stable.
