Hey, I'm trying to overclock my processor but I'm tired of waiting for it to crash to see if it is stable at a speed. Systool doesn't recognize my fsb for some reason, so can anyone recommend a good overclocking utility? thank you

VERY STRANGE HERE. I just downloaded Ntune (upgraded from system utility) and it doesn't recognize my fsb. I don't get it, how is that possible? System utility knew, along with the BIOS obviously. Now 2 applications can't figure out my fsb and this sucks. I don't know what to do.

use the abit softmenu in the bios.it just came with your board.
however, it runs in bios.by the way, amd is hot enough, make sure to set the shutdown temperature before u oc it.

No dude, I have overclocked it, but I mean I want a better overclocker that I don't have to sit and wait for the PC to shut down on. Ntune does it for you but I can't use it if it doesn't know my clock. I downloaded the second newest BIOS, but there's a new one and it's making be mad because Abit doesn't have it on it's website and I can't download it, but it was released on 4/7/05 and when I try to get it it says "file not available, try again later.

so, do you mean you want the ntune program. if so, i download the ntune at the nvidia website. the ntune is actually for nvidia the nforce2 chipset. i just download the newest ntune days ago.remember, to download the ntune, go to nvidia website.

lol, thanks dude, but I have ntune it just doesn't recognize my fsb or clock for some reason. It says "0 mhz" for both. Same with Systool, so obviously there's a problem. I'm just gonna wait for the new BIOS for my motherboard and hopefully that will help applications recognize my clockrates
