New to overclocking, how about some pointers?

[Viper87227]

I just got into overclocking, I have been reading alot, and have a fairly good idea what I am doing, but right now im getting high enough speeds some more advanced tweaking needs to be done. My system is a A64 2800+ and a KV8 Pro. Ram is Corsair Value DDR400. I started out by bumping my FSB to 225x9 (2.03Ghz) and everything was stable. Put it to 230x9 and I coudlnt boot. I got a blue screen error, meaning memory. I put a 6/5 divider, my ram is now running at 188. Windows boots, but its not real stable. I up the voltages as follows. NB = 1.3, CPU = 1.7, DDR = 2.8. More stable, but still not there. I then realized my HT multi was a 5x, i set it to 3x, and now I am stable. I image I wont be able to go much farther hower, but if i can, I think it will be more than just bumping the FSB. SHould I maybe decrease my mulitplier, i have heard that can help. What about voltages, what are safe levels, that is my one shakey area. Would going from 2.5-3-3-8 to 3-4-4-8 or something like that maybe give me a ebtter ram OC, or is it safe to assume 225 is its max?

up your multiplier and lower your fsb

sorry sir, aint happening. AMD64 chips, FX aside, can only drop mutipliers, not raise them.

Also, woudl upping AGP Voltages give me a better overclock either CPU ro Video card wise, or help stability?

umm adivse be very carful i had a overclocked failed with my 3500 scairy shit but umm you know the rule for amd and intel


amd is
3500
HTT=200
multiplyer=11
=2.2ghz
2200mhz

basic shit you should know

yeah, everything there is stuff I know. I really just need info understanding voltages and what not.
