Overclocking A64 system- What am I doing wrong???

[Matt2]

What kind of settings and voltages are you guys using??

I can't even get this thing to 2GHZ!!! It's not the memory cause I'm running a divider, no heat issues.

Did I just get a dud CPU???

Also how do I unlock more multipliers on this DFI board???? x9.0 is the highest option I get.

A64 3000+ Venice
DFI LanParty UT Ultra-D
Fortron Blue Storm 500w
1GB OCZ Value VX PC3200
ATI Radeon X800XL
120GB Seagate SATA

You can only have unlocked multipliers on the FX CPUs, not normal Athlon 64s.

Look at Zebo's overclocking guide in the CPU Forum, or this overclocking guide on HardForum.
