3500+ OC'ing help

[Sin-Tex]

K, i want to clock my AMD 64 3500+, with luck upto about 2.4 or higher if poss.

I am using the Arctic Freezer 64 Pro.
Below is a link to my bios settings, if some of you could take a look & guide me in the exact direction/ along the way to oc'ing it.

My mobo is GigaByte K8N Ultra-9, Socket 939, SATA, Snd, Lan Motherboard
using latest bios v8.

Here is pic of my bios settings as default, so what do i do ?

Lots to read & all seemed a bit complicated to me.
Hence requesting step by step info here.

Thx Hav,

I got 2.4ghz but just wondered how i can get 2.4ghz without haveing to decrease the speed of my ram. As it dropped to 240mhz & i would like to keep my my nice 400mhz.

This is what i did based on my pic:

HT Frequency ratio [4x]
CPU Frequency [240]
K8 CPU Clock Ratio [10]
DDR Clock / Timing Mode [Manual]
CPU / DDR clock Ratio 2 / 1
DDR speed at this point was 240

Your RAM speed is double the HTT speed, so 240MHz x 2 = 480MHz

Hav

urm no, with everything at stock/ auto my DDR Speed in the bios is 400 & if doing a system info with 3D Mark i can see it says Memory Frequency 200.0MHz (obviously x2) = 400

But when doing the OC, DDR Speed in the bios shows as 240 & the system info in 3D Mark shows Memory Frequency 120.0MHz again x2 would be 240.

Seems i was only using a 100mhz divider, ( default is 2 / 2 & i originally tried 2 / 1 ) when is meant to be 2 / 1.66 for oc'ing how you said.
This is what i have done now:

HT Frequency ratio [4x]
CPU Frequency [242] ( using 242 since 240 only gives me 398mhz DDR Speed
K8 CPU Clock Ratio [10]
DDR Clock / Timing Mode [Manual]
CPU / DDR clock Ratio 2 / 1.66
DDR speed at this point was 400


CPU-Z pic as requested, using 1.66 divider.

Thanks

From what i can see i have only got a 3-4c increase in temp.
Now getting 41-42c but it's also a hotter day anyway.

Reccon i might go higher.

Do what i did if you can, take a pic & post them.

I am currently @ 2.48ghz with ram at 410mhz still using the same latency timeings of 2.3.2.5

Not tried to alter the voltage yet, not sure if i want to.
Unless anyone things it is really worth it & got some nice high oc'ing.
