as in title, I have read the stickies and they didn't help, what I'm reading now online is though. I have some questions tho.
why do you have to lower the HTT bus once you increase the base frequency?
I'm confused about ram timings and I'm really not bothered about Ocing my ram can I just lock it and not mess with it?

* 1. Lock the clock of all other devices but the CPU with their default clock rates, if your motherboard provides this option.
* 2. Change the CPU base clock configuration from “auto” to “manual”, if necessary.
* 3. Increase the CPU base clock step by step checking if your system is still running stable.
* 4. Change the HyperTransport bus clock multiplier from x5 to x4 once you surpassed the 220 MHz clock rate, if your motherboard provides this option and you use a CPU with 1,000 MHz HyperTransport bus (a.k.a. “2,000 MHz” or “4 GB/s”).
* 5. Change the HyperTransport bus clock multiplier from x4 to x3 once you surpassed the 225 MHz clock rate, if your motherboard provides this option and you use a CPU with 800 MHz HyperTransport bus (a.k.a. “1,600 MHz” or “3.2 GB/s”).
* 6. Change the HyperTransport bus clock multiplier from x4 to x3 once you surpassed the 275 MHz clock rate (if you are that lucky) if your motherboard provides this option and you use a CPU with 1,000 MHz HyperTransport bus (a.k.a. “2,000 MHz” or “4 GB/s”).
* 7. Change the HyperTransport bus clock multiplier from x3 to x2 once you surpassed the 300 MHz clock rate (if you are that lucky), if your motherboard provides this option and you use a CPU with 800 MHz HyperTransport bus (a.k.a. “1,600 MHz” or “3.2 GB/s”). .

ah right, I sorta got that, but how to you get
divided by 6 & multiplied by 5

from 166

edit I read thru again but still a little confused.
how do you overclock your ram then ??
info. my cpu is a amd 3700+ 939
my ram is geil value ram 1gb
my mobo is asua a8n sli premium

has anyone else got these components and overclocked them?

thanks, I'll put that into the bios and see what happen, but before I do should I get a new cooler? also what speed is the ram runnning at (after Oc)?

also my core speed keeps changing its at 2.4ghz I think it is cuz of the Ai ***/booster I enabled cuz the core should be at 2.2

I've done it....., like 10 mins ago heres a screenie of the speeds how should I check if it is stable or not? thanks, what are good temps also?

I just played 2 hours of BF2 with no BSODS or whatever is considered and error, the temps on the core never went past 55 degrees, is this clock stable ?
 
ah right ok, I'll wait for a second oppinion too, I just dont understand that I've been running BF2 all day with no errors and for prime 95 to error within half a second :confused: :confused:
 
i put the FSB down a bit and it didn't fail straight away but lasted about 5 mins lol, I can change 3 voltages,
chipset: 1.5 -> 1.6
HT: 1.20 -> 1.25
cpu: the max I can set it at is 1.550, it goes down from that by 1.5375 - 1.525 1.50
