First Time Overclocking in bios

Amd_Athon_God · 10 Aug 2009 at 17:38

Hey guys as the title says i wanna overclock in bios instead of using clockgen in the desktop as I'm getting so much issues doing software based overclocking. I just want a fast stable pc

(no bsod here and there) But the prob is i don't have a clue what settings to change in the bios as my bios is complicated

(not good) please help me

Motherboard Foxconn A6VMX AMD 690V Socket AM2 onboard VGA 6 channel

Processor Amd Athon 64x2 3800

P.s I have managed to get it to 2.5Ghz in clockgen

Don't bump 20 mins after you first post.

I don't have the motherboard and have never actually used an AMD processor, so i wouldn't be much help. Stay away from software overclocking though. You'll be looking for something like FSB (should be a number in the hundreds) increase that in steady intervals and test with Prime95. When you start to get errors, increase the Core voltage (should be about 1.2v default) by a few steps and try again. Use CoreTemp to make sure you're not overheating.

Sure you pressed F10 to save and restart?

i have the same problem, even tho i increase the frequency it doesn't budge the speed i've just given up and run @ stock

The default frequency for Athlons will be 200MHz..

You should be able to get an extra couple of hundred MHz from that processor without any increase in Vcore...

I don't have any experience with the BIOS for this particular mobo, so I can't really help you out that much...
