How is the best way to over clock this machine........
is it as simple as increasing the mhz or does it get a little more complicated?


Thanks

so i have now changed my memory to 212mhz and changed the cpu dynamic to general (10%)...running now at 2567mhz up by 6%(according to everest).
what else needs to be done?

many thanks

Personally I would turn off the 'overclocking aids' and just setup the BIOS manually. Bump the FSB up in 10MHz stages and leave it burning in for 30mins & repeat. Once you reach the limit then increase the cpu vcore a notch and continue.

There are loads of guides on the web. Might be worth looking one up for you motherboard.
