Need overclocking software/is it even possible?

[stealthfighter]

Alright. Someone told me I can push my CPU from 2.8ghz to 3ghz.
I have 300W power supply running 10a on 12v rail. Im running 1 hard drive, 1 dvd burner, 1 80mm fan, 1 FX5200 ultra, and 1 sound blaster audigy. Mobo is 20 pin connecter and the PSU has a plug old time mobos used for power (not useing, heh)
Here is everything CPU-Z says:

Forgive the stupid name "f0qer", heh...
Oh and I'll need software to do this, any good (free) reccomendations? Everything about clock speeds and cpu sppeeds is grayed out in bios... . I don't want to lower my memory, just raise clock speed. How should I go abou this?

I also want to state that I dont know if I should lock the PCI slots, and if I do have to I don't know how, or what to do it with.

You need to make a sig that is detailed with your components so others know what your working with. Brand, description, etc, etc. AMD/Intel, cpu? core? stepping? mobo?

Systool. Its on the mainpage to the left

Dude. Those links I posted all link to CPU-Z images. If you don't even know if my CPU is and or intel, you didn't look. :-|

So...
1. I can OC it to 3.0 GHZ?
2. Do I just raise GHZ, or do I need to raise the FSB too?
3. I don't need to lower ram timings?
4. I don't need to lock PCI bus?

Thank's for helping & prompt peply.
BTW stock cooler/heatsink
Bah my motherboard isn't in the list...
I went into CPU overclocking and I clicked on all the "clock generators" and it says not found for all of them.

Good read. You'll learn a lot.. probably too much

Hahah, my bad. I hate clicking links in forums. Usually people type what their rig consist of.

 

[stealthfighter]

Yeah I read that and don't really understand. Right now I'm frusturated cause I can't get the CPU to everclock... and my mobo isn't even in the list...

I found one that works and hit it to 2944mhz and a red bar appeared at the top and locked up, and when I rebooted I got a wierd message then pressed f4 then went to exit discarding changes and now it's at 2.8ghz again so I don't know what to do.

bump up your voltage a bit..

Set your FSB to 143 and bump the voltage up a notch and try again... once it boots @ 143MHz(3GHz equivilant) Test for stability with prime95

*Also, yes lock your PCI bus. Set it to 66/33.

 

[stealthfighter]

I don't see an option to bump voltage nor an option to lock pci bus...

[stealthfighter]

anybody?

raise the FSB value, then click "write" and the processor will be overclocked. If it doesn't work, then your motherboard doesn't permit overclocking.

 

[stealthfighter]

He said up the voltage and lock the PCI bus... I don't know how...

If its a new intel chipset it should auto lock. If it doesn't and you have a proprietary pc such as dell, hp, compaq, etc, you are SOL.
