Friday night and im not going out!?
Not even after work?
Hell no! Tonight I shall endulge in the geeky side of life.
I will perform my very first AMD 64bit overclocking.
I've had my nicely stepped 165 in the closet waiting to go in the new build with the ASUS A8N-E mobo and some winbond BH-5.
I noticed the A8N series allows for up to 3volts on the v-dimms. Perhaps a little low to be able to get decent results from the BH-5?
As I am completely new to A64 ocing (currently on the XPM which is easier to oc I imagine) I could use a few pointers from the gurus in here.
I have had a search in here looking at the various opty overclocking threads and there's a lot of info to shift through.
If somone could be bothered to give me some pointers like I mentioned above I would be much grateful.
Have a nice weekend all!
ps, should I update the bios with latest version from ASUS or are the other 3rd party ones which are better for overclocks like on the NF7S etc?

Maybe use a DDR booster?
