Athlon XP

[StinkyMojo]

i have an athlon xp 2000+, 512mb pc2100, radeon 8500 128mb(not le), and a thermaltake volcano 7+, ECS A7S5A mobo. How would I overclock my system safely to a higher speed?

First...get a new motherboard...
That board can't really overclock...

[StinkyMojo]

Really? Isnt there a way to at least overclock it a tiny bit?

well you can try increasing the FSB little bit by little bit, but i dont know if your motherboard even supports that.


For good overclocking you need good parts and research.

Is your mobo the K7S5A?

No, A7S5A

You can try to find an special OC BIOS for that motherboard as it doesn't support it by default IIRC.

My dual-PSU PC is so powerfull that the neighbourhood dimms when I turn it on 😱
