I just got a 750 athalon
How do I overclock using a gigabyte board?
I wonder if it is possible with no jumpers
Please Help Me

Ok just by the looks of it I can tell you have no idea what you are getting yourself into so I would suggest not overclocking until you know what you are doing.

i agree with darkangel, but i'd also tell you to do a search in this forum on the word "overclock" and you'll find a lot of information, plus a lot of how-to's on overclocking. it really isn't something that you should should just jump right into without knowing what you're doing. just by the statement:

<< I wonder if it is possible with no jumpers >>

shows that you haven't even read your motherboard's manual. get the info first, and then ask questions. this forum is a resource, but you have to put forth some effort first.

cheers,
Tetsuo

We need a little more information aboout the board. A Model # might get you more help. And yes, it is possible to overclock withoout jumpers, but I can't tell if your board supports bios or jumper overclocking. My old gigabyte socket A board (GA 7ZM) had a windows based program, E-Z tune 3, that adjusted the system bus speed for a mild overclock-702 from a 600 Duron.Try to be more specific in future posts, and include all your system information.
Oh, and good luck.

You are going to need to get a GFD (Gold Finger Device), a good Heatsink and fan, and your gonna have to remove the plastic case that surrounds the PCB. Your motherboard is fine for overclocking because your not gonna really do anything with it, just leave all the settings as they are and let the GFD do all the work.
If you goto this site: Overclocking and GFD Basics
It will tell you everything you will need to know on how to overclock your classic athlon. I have used this site many times.
I would buy an Alpha P7125 HS/F it will cost you about $30 for one of the best coolers for your athlon. I have a TD2 GFD which I got at the site listed above.
You can overclock somewhat using your motherboard but you'll have to do it by upping the FSB (front side buss) and the problem with doing it that way is that you basically overclock your whole system, vid card, memory, sound card...as well as the processor and the problem is that many times those peripheral things can't handle that...so you are very limited in how high you go using the FSB....
I've rambled enough...just goto the site and get your self a GFD and you can overclock that 750 probably somewhere up around 900 to 1000 mhz..

Good luck and if you need any help feel free to email or PM me..

Well to answer the first couple of replys.
I have alot of experience overclocking with jumpers on Asus boards. I don't however have a clue about jumperless boards.
Thanks to all that responded

Just look in your CMOS settings..there should be a something there that allows you to change the FSB..but your not gonna be able to change the multiplier as its locked on the classic..the only way to change the multiplier is to get a GFD...or do some soldering..
