hey all
new to the forum

managed to unlock a 140 with NVCC ( nvidia answer to ACC)
with 720 chipset
GA-m7720-us3
so quite a budget setup,

having a few issue with it being stable,
first of all im getting no temps ( i believe this to be a common issue )
and my speaker are beeping on and off sometimes....

its a mass improvment on my gaming side
crysis before was abit dodgy now it runs at 45fps with my gpu

got a 550BE coming tomorrow with a new case ( air flow )
hopefully manage to unlock that
reason i bought a 140 so
that i could understand the concept of unlocking/overclocking

still not managed to figure overclocking with this mobo threw bios,any help?

Win 7
2gb Oc'z 887mhz
140 sempron unlocked
750gb Hdd
ga-m720-us3
 
720 chipset? Haven't heard of it. What's the southbridge? It needs to be 710/750 for you to even have a chance of unlocking. I wouldn't hold out much hope for an nVidia tool either.

Hiya,
welcome to forums!

You sure it's not the RAM that's causing instability with beeps? : )
You OCed it as well most likely while upping the FSB.

Try upping the vcore voltage and ram voltage a bit too.
You should check the beginners guide to overclocking

Also please could you contact me on my email on trust as I'd like to ask few things regarding this CPU : ).
