Question in the title...

 

[Meronem]

trial and error really.....all started for me way back with the 1gig AmD Athlon (Axia) chips that would go to 1.4gig etc.

Just used forums ( this one I think) and tried a few things here and there, compared scores, went back to tweaking etc.

Learned on a forum. Not like clocking Barton cores is that difficult in the first place

learned using a 2500+. That chip took some stick!

My mate got me into it, showed me what to get and then showed me how to clock it, AMD 1700+ at 2.2Ghz on air lol

Read lots of threads on here, bought the kit and did a lot of trial and error.

bit of a trend here

i actually blew up a motherboard when i built my first rig... lol

[jonislost]

The sticky in this sub forum! Then it was a case of trial and error screenprinting and questions!
