A beginner's overclock guide in print

[lon.from.appleton]

Recently I started to view some overclocking routines on YouTube.

I can't follow all the mousing around and screen jumping.

Has a guide been written with the basic steps in printable form? I have no idea where to look and CPU World has been of help in the past. Preference would be a guide related to MSI 880 motherboard and AMD Propus unlocked cpu.


thanks for any replies.

We have no guide like this. If you feel newbie in OC try AUTO options in your BIOS. The main rule was (I'm oldschool overclocker too) to increase FSB by 1 MHz up and test every change in stress test like Prime95. If no errors go up for another step. You can check your default CPU voltage and increase it a very very little bit when you reach max FSB and try higher FSB again. Multiplier is blocked in most CPUs so you can only lower it what make no sense pushing much higher FSB with lower multiplier. All other dividers, voltages on chipset, RAM and more options you have to learn each other separately which is for what.
