Well read some n00b guide to over clocking and get started.

I have mine at 2223MHz (VNF3-250 + A64 2800)
1.6 vcore
166 divider
3x HT

the thing is that I don't know whether I should add voltage or not

also how do you set FSB to Memory ratio to 1:1 in Chaintech VNF-250?

in fact, it will be great if anyone can post some tips on how to configure Chaintech vnf-250's menu

thank you

hmm..

alrite. I tried what Broly 8877 configuration

I used 247mhz for FSB... it gives me 2223mhz for cpu
i raised the voltage to 1.6v
use 166 divier so the memory shows as running at 411mhz
3xht

any more suggestion for higher and also safe configuration?

Personally I would see how far your chip will go on stock voltages. My brother's 3200+ CG Clawhammer does 2.2 ghz on stock voltage...but won't go past 2.3 ghz even with 1.7 which is too high IMHO for everyday use on an A64.

Start with stock voltage...find your max...then start bumping voltage if you want to go farther. You might be surprised how well your chip does at stock vcore.
