Hey Everyone,
I've got a Athlon TB 900, running on an Asus A7V. Is there an easy way to overclock my cpu w/o having to do much work? I mean, I've seen cases where people have added capacitors to the mobo, i don't really want to do that. Can i just mess with some jumpers or something? - thanks.
ps - the mobo does have the dip switches.
 
Perhaps you should have looks around the forums a bit before asking...

Anyway, I just woke up so I'm willing to type a bit more. 😉

What you need to do is unlock your CPU first. This would require you to open up the computer, take out the CPU, and connect the 4 small L1 bridges that are located on top of the CPU. They orignially look like this:

After the job, they should look like this:

This will enable you to adjust the multiplier using the DIP switches.

After you put the CPU and heatsink back on, you can start upping the multiplier using the DIP switches by the IDE ports. Remember to turn switches 5 and 6 on too, since they must always be on to override the default setting. See how far you can go with this.

When you can get no further, up the voltage. If you have decent cooling (notice the if), all the settings including 1.85 or 1.9 should be fine. After upping the voltage, see how far you can go.

When you reach the limit here, then you can mess with the FSB.

By the way, both the voltage and FSB are set through the BIOS> However, if you want, these can be set by jumper. Consult your manual.
