Well here is my results so far:
Amd 64 4400+ 2.2 ghz 2mb cache 939
OCZ pc4000 3-3-2-8 standard one chip is down, so i run at a single 1gb till i get one back from ocz :)
Timings @ 564 mhz is 3-3-2-5, which is indeed incredible actually.
I made some adjustments to the fsb mem ratio to something cant remember what 16666667% over fsb or something in that direction got a 450 mhz overclock fine, till one core overheats due to waterblock abit, not in right place, and no coolingpaste.

Not dissapointed at all at amd systems in oc: theese are the overclocked systems i have built

Abit nf-8 a 64 3000+ 512 cache 754 @ 245-255 fsb, depending on outside temperature, (very high i guess)

Dfi lanparty-ut nf4 sli
a 64 939 3200+ 400 mhz overclock not 1 bluescreen in 2 years now (corsair memory pc3200 cl2 memory)

Dfi lanparty-ut nf4 sli a64 3700+ @ 300 mhz oc 2 years no bluescreen (0.25 v+ cpu)

Problem overclocking my Opteron!!! I have an Opteron 165 1.8 Ghz. I used to overclock it up to 2.7 Ghz and the performance was GREAT!!! I had 2*512DDR400 PQI CL2.5 double-sided. All i had to do was to decrease HT speed from default to 4x, decrease from DDR400 to DDR333 and increase the FSB.
Now, I bought 2*1GB Kingston pc3200-KVR400x64c3a CL3 and sold the old ram....problem is that the new ram doesn't let me put the frequency to DDR333...only DDR266.the CPU runs fine at 2.7 Ghz...but performance is barely at 8%....how stupid of me to sell my old ram :(

Can someone PLEASE tell me settings to apply with the new ram?....there must be a possibility to get performance with my new ram.

Thanks in advance

Hi Speeduk,
I was trying to get through the detailed on over clock. As I am very new to this concept unfortunately. I had to quest to optimized my PC to perform better in terms of playing high end games and I found this great concept of over clocking. I really appreciate if you can tell me step by step to over clock the AMD processor.
Details are provided below:
Processor: AMD Athlon 64x2 4000+
MOBO : Asus M2N- MX - SE EDITION
customed CPU cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO Cooler
Ram : Transcend 2x2 667 =4GB
GPU : NVIDIA GT520 2GB DDR3

Now As I checked while playing a high end games (BF3) that CPU is hitting to 55 degree temp,

Now I have a request that to what level I can over clock it? to my understanding if I can hit safely to 2.7 GHrz/ core. it seems to be fine for me.

Can you kindly let me know what I should install as a software( Like I have installed CPUZ to monitor details of CPU) and where to go and what changes I need to make it to have a safer level of Overclocking with my system Configurations.

I really had a good trust on your detailed post. so I am asking. I hope you would take a time to help me out. I am pretty excited to have my system performing at higher level.

Please let me know. Best Regards
Suman
