Overclocking A64 2800+

[matt00926]

Okay here is my set up

A64 2800+ s754 w/retail hsf (40-45 idle, 50-55 load)
Abit nf8 bios 15
Corsair 2 x 256 pc3200
Wd 800jb
Antec Sonata + 380w psu + 2 case fans ( case temps 33-35c idle, 41 load)

My question is with pc3200 i do not wish to overclock the ram, how do i use dividers etc to overclock my chip to say 2-2.2 ghz safely without ruining any components. Thanks

I oced my 2800+ to 2ghz on 1.28 volts
then oced it to 2.4ghz on 1.4 volts

Both with pc2700 ram (generic/not even value) oc/ed to pc 3200 (1gig) 2.5-3-3-6

STABLE

I would get some better cooling before you o/c, 55C load is high and won't leave much room for overclocking.

Thats pretty nice, where do i find divider settings etc in bios, ive searched all over

Well i am a tard with this new bios 15, i cant find overclocking settings worth a damn. All i see is HTT frequency 1x,2x...6x, LT downstream, and change fsb\multiplier, ram timings, and voltages, which doesnt really help if i dont want to o\c my ram and just my cpu.

Try downloading an ovewrclock program to do it for you. For the RAM then use BIOS for OCing the rest. As far as cooling, throw in a a tornado and add a controller and you're set. Use a blower to protect your video card, unless you already have that.: http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=35-888-602&depa=0
