A8N-SLI Deluxe AMD 64 3500+

I would like to achieve 2.6. How should I start. What core temp should be the stopping point? I had this setup overclocked once before.. Before the chipset driver update crash. When I went looking for my post, I guess everything was deleted since it has been almost a year ago.

Thanks in advance for everyones assistance.

Over 55 or 60 is enough.

keep it below 60 if u want ur cpu to last, 60 is teh shutdown temp for some ppl, and a 17% oc should be easily doable, look around, be sure to keep an eye on ram timings

Thanks for the temp answer. I still needs some more info regarding all the other items..
volts, HTT, multiples, etc.....

Try

HTT multi to 4x
CPU multi to 11x
HTT to 236
"max mem clock" to DDR333
CPU volts to 1.60-1.625
Keep all ram timings and volts at AUTO

Thanks GD! But these aren't working I had to clear the cmos to even get back into the bios menu.

I did find these on another thread that seem to work. Or at least allows me to boot up. Do these look OK to at least start with?

Thanks again,

On the CPU/Dram config page
HT multi = 3x
Max mem clock = DDR333
Cool n' Quite = disable

On the jumperfree page
HTT = 260
Cpu multi = 10
Cpu volts = 1.55v
DDR volts = 2.8v
PCI clock = 33.33

Yes, that should work! Just test for stability with Prime95 for several hours

 

[pnyxxpress]

Thanks! Everyone recommends using prime95. Which torture test is best to run?

 

[GuitarDaddy]

I use all three. But for a pure CPU test small files
