What do you guys use to overclock?

[RuchG]

I have an A64 and was wondering whether to use BIOS or some other program like clockgen?

I just use bios.

Don't have an A64 though.

Through the BIOS is the best way to OC, no matter what your proc is.

Clockgen and Windows-based crap like that is usually very sketchy about doing what you want...

Abit's uGuru and MSI's CoreCell stuff seem to be a big step in the right direction for Windows-based overclocking, but I think most people are still going to go with the more traditional means of doing so.

I see people talking about memory dividers and what not but I don't see how thats adjusted in the bios...

Running RAM at 83% is using a divider.

A64 is different, I think. Much more complicated.

I use CPU FSB for FSB. Haven't found anything to dynamically change my mults, though.

ahh ok i got it.

I use the Easy Tune utility (since I own a Gigabyte motherboard) to find a nice stable overclock and then I reboot and change it in the Bios. I like it because if I get carried away on an overclock and crash Windows it defaults back to the original setting of the Bios and I can try again without having to reset the Bios. Other motherboard manufacturers have there own version of the Easy Tune utility.

i use bios, seems to be the best way. especially on the NF7-S.
