Overclocking tool for AMD proc?
 

Well is there a good tool so i can over clock my 1.5 gig amd anthalon 2600 to 2+ gigs?

I tried Fuzzy Logic but the GUI is messed up.

Check out the tutorial Reven did here... Its a sticky on the Tech Section

I cant find it...

Real geeks use the BIOS ;)
ClockGen is the non-BIOS option of choice.

Its the Knowledge Base, its a sticky has loadsa info in it very good i think... scroll down a bit when ur on the thread n u will c the overclocking post ;)

Real geeks call the BIOS, CMOS.

Re: Overclocking tool for AMD proc?
 

No, the CMOS means Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor and is the place where the BIOS settings are stored, but is not the actual BIOS. If you are looking to change subsystem functions, you use the BIOS and not the CMOS - the BIOS uses the CMOS.

Please tell us whether your computer is custom-built or came from an OEM - this will help determine the type of BIOS you have and possible restrictions on overclocking.

So do companies like Dell, Alienware etc block overclocking or sumthin?

Re: Overclocking tool for AMD proc?
 

Sometimes, yes. They install BIOS software that only allows basic functions to be altered by the user. This can be fixed by updating your BIOS to a new software, but this is risky.

Ok and this is @ Ziodberg... Wouldn't it be dangerous overclocking 500mhz on a AMD?

i belive the correct number for 2.0 on a 1700+ (i think thats what you got judging 1.5 gHrtz) is 340fsb. jsut keep pusing it up in bios until you reach 2.0. its easy.

Re: Overclocking tool for AMD proc?
 

the reason we call it the same thing sometimes is because cmos options can be found right next to the bios. so we get lazy. AMD dont have to have high clocks. the 2500+ doesnt imply its supposed to be clocked at 2.5gHrtz. its a comparason to intels never ending slow gigahertz. 2500+ is slightly faster than a intel 2.5gHertz. i dont think they do it for "saftey" but i could be mistaking. get rid of that MSI board, my old one killed my PSU and 120 gig ide samsung, im SATA now, but lots of MSI boards turn out faulty after a few months. ASUS are really reliable, same with gigabyte and CHAINTECH.

I dont know, but i do know that AMD underclocks there procs that the advratized clock, they do this for uhm safty reasons (not to damage the mombo if it does not suport the speed). But anyway i changed the FSB in the Bios and it did not seem to do anything, and the ClockGen does not allow me to over clock my FSB. And my mombo is msi, my comp is custom built.

And yes i know what CMOS is, but the nerdyest of nerds call the BIOS, CMOS, incorrectly i know but they just do.

Re: Overclocking tool for AMD proc?
 

And they're quite frankly trying too hard. Most digital cameras use a CMOS sensor, which has nothing to do with the BIOS (a system's basic input.output system). It's BIOS, not CMOS (CMOS chip is closer, but still incorrect).
