Ocing help on am2

[PhattyRipz]

hey,

I just ordered a new am2 core system
Specs:

ECS ATi Xpress 1100 mobo: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813135011

2x512MB AMPX DDR2 4200- 4-4-4-10: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820161657

AMD AM2 3000+ Orleans: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16819103639

And i need some tips/tutorials on how i should oc it. i'm kindof a noob at it, and just need some pointers and how-to's on the basics of ocing.

Thanks,

Whoa! I don't think you should be overclocking with that board. Anyways...

Did you read Zebo's guide? Visit overclockers.com for tips on overclocking and how to OC.

 

[PhattyRipz]

ok, i'll check it out. yeah i know the mobo might be kind of weak in ocing settings.

dont expect matx to oc well...id say youll max out at ~2ghz

 

[PhattyRipz]

yeah, if i can get 2.2ghz i'll be happy, also can some link me to zebo's guide i cant find it.

Zebo's guide is the first thread in this section of the forums.

As far as OCing goes, yeah that ECS board probably won't do too well, so I would suggest trying some more conservative settings (220HTT, 4X HT Multi, 1.4VCore, 400/533mhz RAM divider, and 1.0-2V VDIMM). Those settings should result in a stable boot at around 2 GHz. If you try go to higher and it doesn't POST, try a higher VCore and lower the RAM divider or increase vDIMM.

To be safe, don't break 1.6 volts on the VCore and try not to exceed 2.1-2.2volts on your RAM.

Have fun, and for more info see Zebo's guide.

Hope you have the luck that I did with AM2
