techquilla Posted June 17, 2002 Share Posted June 17, 2002 correct me if i'm wrong BUT i thought that you needed to modiffy some stuffs on the processor physically in order to overclock an AMD athlon................. i still don't recommend overclocking .....^^.........just not worth it...........1.2G is fast enough already.......mine is still a 450MHz...--.-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Note: to overclock you need good memory (quality) and most important of all, amd are notorious for running HOT! so dont do it with a stock cooler, or you'll be making breakfast on your cpu..lol Once read a post where someone could literally cook an egg on a overclocked amd...lol Also when you turn up the fsb everything on the system speeds up not jus the cpu....in cloing turning up the fsb in the bios is your best bet. iomayho; i believe pp overclock for the challenge and the fustration of being outdated before you can get the damn chip home..lol.
