    By the title you can already say n00b. But I just got Crysis Warhead and My cpu is bottlenecking my card and I want to play it on high settings, well I am playing it on the low settings with the hardware in my specs. So I went into the BIOS and tried to OC.Now I was setting my CPU to 1.23v and to 2.2GHz to start off with and to see if it worked or not. And when I started my comp back up it had all this shit and then I had to clear my cmos. So could y'all give me some tips to do so I can have my CPU to at least 2.6Ghz? I have a Pheonix Bios, just thought that might help. Thanks.

    AMD cpus arent real good overclockers to begin with, but i would suggest making your nb(or G(
    MCH)) is +1 (or 2 if it needs more) also, keep your ram divider set at 2, otherwise it will try to overclock to an extreme amount to keep up with cpu overclock, and therefor not work.
