I have a A64 3700+ clawhammer cpu (socket 754) and a DFI Lanparty 250gb moterboard. I know the board is one of the greatest motherboards for overclocking, so can anyone recomend me some oc tips?

ps#

Im just asking for advice cos im rubbish at overclocking.

Are you copying me or something? I have that chip, motherboard, GFX card, and a Santa Cruz!

I might have another go at clocking this rig. Only got up to 2.7 last time!

I would say anything between 2.7 and 2.8 To be a good overclock

Ive been running mine at 2.8 for weeks now and its awesome

Can you post the settings you use mate and how much more heat does it generate?

TaKeN , are you refering to your SD?

Just wondering what settings to put in my bios to get a good overclock of around 2.7/2.8 for the DFI lanparty nf3 250gb.

Keep the HTT between 1600 and 1800

so HTT multi is 3 x 2 x 270 = 1620 HTT or 2700Mhz

The memory controller will likely give up beyond 270 / 275.

Use memory divider as needed. The CPU should not need more than 1.6v, 1.7max. Keep temps <55c or less the higher the clock.
