Anyone know what i should do to overclock this system, i have a AMD Sempron 2500+ with a Abit VA-20 microATX board.

im running 2x512 corsair valueselect ram cas 2.5 latency. pc 3200

the sempron stock runs 10.5x166.

im trying to get it to run at 10.5x200 but it wont post at all, neither can get into bios.

i ran it under 166, and did incremental adjustments and the highest i've got was 10.5x180

any idea how i can get the darn thing to run at 10.5x200?

i have decent cooling for the cpu, using as3 with a vantec aeroflow2. tons of case fans too. processor isnt even hot, its like 31c.



i've read some faq's, and they vaugley say that im supposed to use a pin mod of some sort to have the cpu recognized as a different cpu that would run 10.5x200, but those were very vauge so i couldnt look more into it. can anyone direct me in the right direction wether i need to use that pin mod or other ways i can go with overclocking this cpu?
 
can a mod delete, i posted in the wrong forum and have reposted in the overlocking forum.
