Help with AMD Duron Processor


Recommended Posts

Wow, thats a fairly ancient processor. I doubt youd get alot out of it, but try upping the FSB. You could probably do that little trick others have done, but chances are youd damage the CPU just to get maybe 25Mhz out of it. I could be wrong though....

Do you have a OEM computer? Those are usually locked.

Ancient or not it can still overclock I had a Duron 700 for my first SocketA system back in 2000 I had it going at 900 very stable I put in a Duron Morgan 1ghz, but it didn't budge the very least it only allowed me to do a minor FSB oc I had pencil tricked the 700 the morgan didn't allow that.

oh and this was on air with a Swiftech MCX370 with a aluminum 60MM fan which replaced the hair dryer like YS Tech 60MM I had on their before blew out 40CFM of air got me a great oc, but it sounded terrible.

Well..  :pinch:  :cry:  Thanks anyways for your help.. Also the reason I haven't got a new mobo and processor is because I have no money.

You shouldn't overclock unless u have the money to replace the hardware you may kill. As mentioned before you would gain a better speed boost by buying a newer board, cpu, and ram.

Also since you don't seem to be a affluent, in knowledge, computer person i don't recommend you mess with overclocking.

To recap what others have mentioned, I doubt that the compaq bios will allow you to up the fsb anyway, therefore OC'ing via fsb o'clock is impossible unless there are jumpers on your motherboard that will allow it. But as its a 700mhz duron compaq i seriously doubt that too, so you're basically out of luck.

Without a lot of work the best overclock you're likely to get out of the thing anyway is about +100mhz, which may not be that percievable unless running benchmarks
