Hey guys and gals,
I'm new to this forum and new to overclocking in general and have a few questions if you don't mind. My system specs are as follows:
MB: ASUS A7N8X-X
CPU: Sempron 2600+
RAM: 256 MC PC 2700 Samsung 2.5,3,3,7
Vid Card: XFX Geforce 440 mx
From what I've read, Sempron's are all unlocked and my mobo's bios is overclocking friendly.
My proc's standard setting are 333FSB * 11 multiplier at 1.6 VCore to equal 1833MHz.
Since my RAM is slow, I don't think I can increase my FSB at all but I can increase my multiplier for a small overclock. When I increase my multiplier to 12.5, I should then be getting 2075 MHz, right? But when I do it, ASUS Probe and CPU-Z both tell me 1833Mhz still. As a side note, anything above 12.5 and my comp won't even startup.
I ran 3d mark before and after to see if any changes occured but I got the exact same score both times.
Also, just to see if it would take, I lowered my multiplier to 10 which should have underclocked me to 1660MHz, my computer wouldn't even post. Should an underclock work just fine?
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks,
Joshua
