ok, so i changed my cpu voltage to like 1.80(if i recall) and now im getting 800mhz on my amd sempron 3000+, i switched back to normal voltage and it switches between 800 and 1800mhz. There is no option in my bios to change my multiplier, however there is an option to change my cpu speed to a maximum of like 233mhz i think it was, but it asks for a decimal value any ideas for a noob overclocker?
all help is greatly appreciated.

here is a screenshot:

I'm pretty new to overclocking, but 1.8v? I thought 1.45 or so was the highest you should go? :eek:
 
Looks like you have the cool n quiet feature enabled in your BIOS. You'll have to go in there and disable it.
 
damn this is fun and scary at the same time, but im not real worried. Thanks for the help smoove ill go disable cool n quiet, ive been messing around with it and i just got this:

im getting good at this, i think. anyways im gonna go change it now. will disabling it allow me to change my multiplier?
 
if thats a laptop i wouldn't touch that setting as the battery life will be compromised.
 
no, the store i bought this at, at the time i thought sweet mobo/cpu combo i later realized when i started to build it 2 months later that it was a mobile amd sempron, so i was pissed. But as the say, you get what you pay for. I called them up asking to exchange it but they said it was 2 late....bastards.


anyways i turned off cool n quite and now have a steady 2ghz on it, thanks for all the help smoove!
 
I know with my mobile barton 2500xp I had, it would run quite high on stock voltage. I'm not sure if this generation's Sempron could have the same characteristics, but would be nice if it could.

Just keep an eye on your temps to make sure they don't go over 60c on load.
 
right now its been on for almost 2 hours and its at 90 degrees Fahrenheit. Also the memory is overclocked as well. Anyone know any good overclocking programs.
 
You'll probably need to take some pics of the BIOS options and link them on here so we can help you. I'm unfamilir with your BIOS... it might be the same as mine since I have a Biostar board too
 
well, i was using clockgen uping my speed slowly and almost hit 2.3ghz, then all of a sudden it restarted and i thought it was gonna show a BSOD and thankfully it didnt but damn thats almost .5ghz on air higher than stock speed im just gonna hang low at 2100mhz for now till i get my watercooling setup.
