i just dnt seem to be able to find any guides to help me on overclockign the AMD 3800 all the menus and settings they talk about dont seem to be there anyone have any ideas to help

when i try to overclock i change 2 things.

the first the multiplier...i normaly set it to x10
the second being the cpu freq...i start at 200 then move up 5 at a time

what else do i need to do as i dont want to supply to much voltage or ive heard the cpu will melt so what other options am i meant to change

after i get the processor to about 220 freq. i have to sert it back to defult because it stops booting up the screen just flashes any help is great. thanks

ok so what do i need to change. i just tryed again now with no sucess.

i leaft multiplier at auto and left CPU Voltage at Defult

changed the cpu frq. to 1.05 and my processor went from 2.41 to 2.61 i then went back and changed it upto 1.10 and my pc went to blue screen and rebooted so i changed settings back to defult settings and now its fine. what did i do wrong. i have a phenoix bios setup i think.
