Ok, so after i got done reading the manual and looking at what the BIOS has to offer for overclocking on the Epox 9NPA+ SLI, ive got a quick question.
For overclocking, the BIOS has some pretty easy functions:
manually set the multiplier (ie, 5x up to 40x) and the number to be multiplied (ie, 200 to 400, so a 3500+ would have a stock multiplier of 11 and a frequency of 200, which equals 2.2GHz)
step up the Vcore voltage and the RAM voltage, and allows slight increases on the PCI-E slot frequency.
allows you to state the maximum frequency for the RAM to operate at (200MHz being the maximum, so DDR400)
My main question is this:
If i want to overclock my 3500+, is it as simple as getting the right Vcore, and then getting the right multiplier and/or frequency or is there a lot more i need to do (FSB and RAM voltages, etc)??
(sorry if this is n00bish, but the BIOS make it seem a lot easier then most other boards ive used, so i wanted to confirm it).
