Stuck trying to overclock

[daniel101191]

Hey I have read some info, and read the replies to a recent thread i made asking how to overclock, and the bottom line is i will need to change some options. i.e FSB etc. i've come to do this, and it may be me, but i cannot see how its possible. I am posting 2 screen shots, so if you could guide me on how to change the settings that are greyed out, would be helpful

I firstly got to here:



the obvious choice then would be CPU config, so i clicked that and that took me here:



I have tried to mess about a lil, but cant get to change anything

HELP!

Thanks

bdw model is Asus P5KPL-AM

Can you post up an image of the chipset tab as I'm pretty sure the required settings would be in there

you need to look in the tab saying jumper free configuration above cpu config.

thanks for the quick replies, I went into jumper free connection, and SUCCESS!

I have posted the 2 screens, first is the manual options, with 2 options to change, 2nd has pre set 5%, 10% etc all the way up 2 30%, i just hit 5% cus i was curious. and im now running at an impressive 2.63GHZ Omg!! im excited





I know you have to to extensive tests, but i thought 5% wont hurt, and anyone tell me which program(s) they use and for how long, and do i need to test at 5%?

Prime 95 blend tests are the most commonly used stability test. People differ on how long they like to perform them for but 8 hours or so should be fine.

It is up to you how frequently you test as you overclock but make sure you keep a record of each time you find a stable setting so that if you find something is unstable you can go back to a known stable setting.

Good luck
