How Far Can You Go???

Just how much, with proper cooling, do you think you could overclock a Socket 754 AMD Athlon 64 3000+ CPU?

that's impossible to even estimate dude....every CPU will OC different not to mention theres a ton of other factors that could effect it from motherboard to the temperature in your room to what you think 'proper cooling' is

what ^^he^^ said

Kinda....depends.

bgrunner08 · 07-12-2005, 08:07 PM

Ok, well what is the best CPU OC app? Also what is the best OC app for every piece of hardware?

TheMajor · 07-12-2005, 08:10 PM

You can use RivaTuner for graphic cards and some other program I forgot its name (im sure somebodyelse knows)
For CPU it's best to use your BIOS.

Nubius · 07-12-2005, 08:10 PM

You OC through the BIOS not applications....with the exception of a video card...which I'd suggest RivaTuner.....there are apps to let you OC through windows like Clockgen but I don't recommend you do that.

You need to read the two stickies that talk about OC'ing above so we don't have to help you with a question later like "Oh I set this to 300 from 200 and my computer wont start" in which if you had read the guide, that would never happen

k thx

if u can keep the temps reletively low i bet u could go quite far. I think it runs at 1.8 u could prolly go past 2.4 or soo estimate with a decent mobo but its really hard to say

i own the same CPU, soket 754, 64 3000, i overclocked from 2.0 to 2.3, cant go any further, had to highr voltage too, didnt get much performence boost so i left it there at stock speed.
