username Posted June 13, 2002 Share Posted June 13, 2002 if you have a dell, gateway, hp ect... you cannot overclock, your motherboard does not have the options. what are your system specs, CPU, motherboard RAM speed? http://www.amdmb.com/article-display.php?ArticleID=148 good article to read first before going any further Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

techquilla Posted June 13, 2002 Share Posted June 13, 2002 advice, go easy on overcloking your hardware. Its very dangerous and can destroy your comp. It is highly not recommended........ 1. makes system unstable 2. over heats the hardware 3. damage hardware 4. simply not worth it. the amount of speed you squeeze is not significantly much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only one i heard of that work fairly well is one made specifically for Gigabyte boards, and looks cool too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
