Over-Clcoking HELP!!!

EDIT: I had I guide here but it was for the A64 overclocking so i deleted it

When you raise the fsb both the memory and cpu will be overclocked. Other buses may increase too

I believe I said everything will be faster :rolleyes: :P If your board has locks only the CPU and RAM will OC.

If you do raise it too far it probably wont post, if it does things will be unstable so you back it off a little.

You really dont want anything else to be raised when you increase the FSB, you only want the CPU and RAM to get higher... in most cases. Increasing the speed of the PCI and PCI-E slots will just make them become unstable.

Overclocking anything makes it unstable. It's only guranteed to be stable at stock frequencies that's why the second your overclock the majority of your hardware gets a vioded warranty.
 
yeah, but overclocking say cpu and video card usually yeilds better performance, increasing agp, pci or w/e bus doesn't do anything that improves performance.

Quite frankly, I would find it thrillingly amusing to see you break your computer from the lack of ignorance which you seem to have at this point.

haha sorry, a lack of ignorance?? do you mean a display?
anyways, dont be mean... hes learning! just try and help him.
normally when we refer to fsb it means the base bus speed that everything uses to get its frequency. for instance, my fsb speed is 240mhz.
i used a ddr333 divider for my ram so it runs at 200mhz, or its default clock (240mhz*0.83)
my cpu multipler is 10 (fx processors dont upward lock their multiplier, but most processors do!) so, 10*240mhz = 2400mhz, or 2.4ghz.
its simply math really, and my hypertransport uses a multiplier of 5, ultimately making it 1.2ghz (240*5 = 1.2ghz)
its really quite simple it just takes getting used to.

but! before you do any overclocking! make sure you have adequate cooling!!
