Overclocking?

[jlg6184]

Hello....

First off here are my specs:
ASUS K8N E Deluxe Mobo
AMD 64 3000+ (754)
2 Gig PC 3200 Ram (generic)
BFG Asylum GeForce 5200 256 MB AGP card
250 gb hd....LiteOn Dual Layer DVD burner....

Well, the clock speed on my Processor is like 2.0ghz and I can overclock with full stablity up to 2.35ghz....I was curious on what I could do to crank it up higher....the system goes non responsive at 2.36ghz.....

Second is there anyway to overclock the graphics card, or flash the bios on it...thanks in advance

stop risking your pc and certainly cutting it's life span, what you need to do its get a decent graphics card, with the one you have you are just bottlenecking your pc.

LOL....neverheard the term bottlenecking before, but you are right...I really need a new graphics card....but currently that isn't an option....I am currently spending most of my time and money trying to get through college. I actually plan on pickin up another graphics card when I get the change though....I was thinkin something like a GeForce 6800

Yeah i mean, it's a shame you have a amd 64 and 2 gig of ram... you'll be fine with a 5900 or even (although pushing it) a 5600 and they go as cheap as chips on ebay

Gigabyte Gforce 6200's are very cheap just now for a 256mb.. I would go for that..

Or if you have the cash 6600 and upwards. Or an Ati equivalent.


EDIT: Dont push the 754 AMD 64, it becomes very unstable and damages the chip with overclocking, you can overclock the 939 chip (need a different motherboard offcourse) somewhat with safety.

Actually it is the integrated memory controller that gets bad when overclocking the s754 CPU's... :P
On the other (DAB)hand it is in the "chip"...

Paying any money for a 6200 is no idea, it is a waste of money. Save the money until you have enough for a 6600GT atleast.
