Hi, I have an AMD 1ghz processer and would like to know how to overclock it. I've never done anything before and would be greatful if anyone would walk me through the process. Thank you so much.

The beginning doesn't matter. All that matters is where you end up.

My advice to people who ask this sort of question is usually, don't do it! Wink

Why? get it wrong, and you have a dead PC. Plain & Simple.

Take a look at this link TailWind, its a thread I've already posted , pay particular attention to the various links I've posted. They'll tell you much more than I ever could..... Roll Eyes

Like modifying a car,...you better know what you are doing before you begin. Do a Google search on computer oc'ing and that will keep you reading for a while but better safe than sorry. (I shopped and learned for over 4 months before I built this rig) Shocked

My advice - DON'T DO IT.

You won't see much improvement in overclocking a 1Ghz chip anyway.

With the price of Cpu's these days, you would be far better just buying a new one. You can get a new AMD 2Ghz for around $250AU these days.

If you have never played with or you know nothing about overclocking, then stay away from it.

As mentioned before - do some reading first, understand EVERYTHING in your bios and practice on something that doesn't matter if you kill it.

There is no easy way to talk you through overclocking as there are a number of steps involved to ensure a stable system, e.g - Cpu multiplier, Cas latency's, Voltages settings, FSB speeds etc etc.

Computers are just like Bill Gates in two ways:

They are complicated as h377and they can give you a real headache if you're not careful.

LMFAO!!!! Grin

I don't jack-5h!+ about how a processor is overclocked. AS a result, I kept away from the idea of overclocking.

If you are still determined to go ahead with this insane idea, the let me give you this one advice before you proceed.

There always a time in which you overclock too much. In other words, don't go too far or you'll regret it for the rest of your life.

Like PC_tech said. It's easier to buy a new processor than to overclock one and accidentally mess it up.

My system specs are listed below as my signature. I'm happy with what I have and FS2004 run perfectly on my rig without even overclocking it.

And don't forget what I said about Bill Gates and computers. Wink

LOL

*Over Clocking a PC is directy related to Over Reving a car engine beyond the RED line Limits , that engine is not meant to go that HIGH ! And that PC is operating well with in the safe zone , So leave it alone, consider a new / Faster / Computer .

It is not worth it, they can break so easily you have to know the signs that the processor has had enough and that is more of a feeling than anything else. It would be better to find out what is the best processor your mobo can take and consider getting one.

My system:Intel Q6600@3.6GHz, Corsair XMS2 4GB DDR2-6400 (4-4-4-12-1T) , Sapphire 7850 OC 2BG 920/5000, X-Fi Fatality, Corsair AX 750, 7 Pro x64

if you really REALLY wanna overclock your processor, IM me, but if it does start smoking, and sparking, and burning up, it isnt my fault, because you have had your warnings.......

I sorta know how to overclock, as you can see from my sig, but I have 2 fans on my processor, and it is holding a good temputure, 55^oC, under a very heavy load

and I checked at the Pentium website, and my processor can take a max of about 63-64^oC

I am sure I can bring it up to 2.9GHz, safely, but it isnt my computer, so I am not gonna do that

I am somwhere I don't know where I am!!!&&

Nice
My comp uses air cooling

I have a blue mobo and a red GFX card. What does everyone else have?

Uhh, this forum is taking a turn from the heading: "how to ovverclock" lol

But Swanny...., is a liquid setup a kit to put on the computer, or does it require special computer chips? If I can do it with the computer parts that I have right now, that would be great!

Thanks

It does not require a special chip, its just like a regular heatsink just water goes thru it instead of air Wink

the only other thing that actually looks like a chip is the PCI Power Switch relay card, but that comes with a water cooling system... if u are interested in it and want to learn more about it, AIM me at Snowboard Racer8 or MSN messenger snowboarder456@hotmail.com

I think the standard pcb colours look old and boring, it is quite a nice feeling to open the case up every so often and see all the nice colours.

I would not mind having an all black set-up though it would look quite elite.
