:confused:hi there,

my cpu is an amd 5000+ BE, m3a mobo, 3gb corsair memory and coolermaster hsf. i have managed an overclock of 3.0ghz from 2.6 by raising multiplier and ive had to up the vcore from 1.35 to 1.75 to survive prime95s torture test. on every review of this processor i have read and talking to some members of this forum i should be able to get 3.2 EASY but no mater what i do including raise the vcore up to 1.5 i cant get a stable oc of over 3.0ghz ive done all overclocking through the bios (not a windows program such as amd overdrive). Have i simply reached a dissapointing limit for my other hardware (such as my mobo :confused:) or am i missing something. im a begginer to overclocking so i havnt touched memory freq or anything else yet although it is my next project to start so whilst im on the subject does anyone know of a beginers guide to overclocking memory?

Thanks
 
Damn when you typed 1.75 give me a fright :D

What heat sink have you got?

To get to 3.1 no voltage increase should be needed but in bios set the cpu multiplier to 15.5
