Im not sure about my Athlon being over clocked. Anyways I over clocked it 150mhz more than its standard clock. And Windows crashed, I got the bsod, (physical dump mem).. anyways, On the athlon 64 clawhammer core the multiplier is locked at ten :mad: so all the over clocking has to be done by the FSB. Does anyone know how to maybe get top performance out of this or unlock the multiplier.

P.S. Oh yeah can anyone give me an insight on voltages and my memory latency settings. (Im looking to pull everything I can out of my PC)
Do voltages change overcloking abilities???

1. "Clawhammers" are not locked. YOUR Athlon64 is (addressed somewhat in the OC101)
2. Read the OC 101 ;)
 
Are you sure

You said that the multiplier isnt locked yet in my bios it says on 8-10......
I even tried to turn the HT to 5x instead of 4x and it doesnt last that way either....anyways I plan on reading that overclocking 101.
 
Yes Im sure. Just because you have 8-10 doesnt mean it's unlocked. To avoid confusion i will elaborate (which I already did if you read the OC101)

1. The Athlon64 processors are half-locked. This means you can choose any multiplier such that it is, at most, the stock multiplier.

2. The Athlon64 FX is unlocked. This means you can choose any multiplier as supported by the motherboard (4-25).

3. The HTL multiplier and CPU multiplier are two different things :)
