Help

this is the first time i build a amd system iam usually intel but i was on a budget had some parts lying around,i need help overclocking my amd x2 5000+ i have an asus m3a76-cm and help with ajusting the memory timing i cant figure it out in this motherboard, i have 2gb of ram ddr2 667

you must make the ram clock manual. Then timings manual. then set your timings this will also depend on your ram. If you have 5000+ BE it wil get to about 3.1 stable. I would not go any further than this for I have burned several up doing this. All of this is located in the jumperless comfiguration tab in the bios. fairly easy to handle.

i have that same cpu all i want is to get it to 3.0ghz what would i have to put in the bios to get it this high
i have jumperfree configuration in my bios

Bring your CPU multiplier to 15X and voltage bump of .10... If unstable or has problems drop down to 14X multiplier. if no worky your board may not be good enough to do OC.

More questions now:
1) What cooler do you have?
2) What ram do you have? BRAND please!
stock timing list would be nice as well.

Another problem is the south bridge you have on that mobo may not render overclocking very easy. 750 south bridge is the one you want for OCing. The 710 SB does not OC well. Your 5000+ needs to very well cooled for you to run @ 3.0. Better invest if you want it to be right. I would have to suggest a Thermal Take

the adata are 1gb each kingston 512mb each i had them lying around so i didnt buy ram its running at 2.8ghz stable

I think I might stick with that on your board.

It will work for most games but wont play them on high probably. BUT it is a pretty good low pro card and right there around your budget

This time I actually dont have one to compare..

well my motherboard supports crossfire x hybird so if theres a card compatible with hybird crossfire let me know i have a 700mb onboard card with 256 shared ram that i want to unite with another one

 

[xtc28]

well how about this one then

Good decent card it works well enough on crysis warhead for me to keep it in my Media box gonna get another and go Xfire. This should do some damage on my games...

overclocked my cpu to 3.01ghz stable 10 hours

great now play a game for acouple o hrs or run a stress test. This will show just how stable u really are.

i have never heard of a X2 5000+BE not be able to go above 3.0 or 3.1

i have been sitting at 3.2Ghz for almost a year now, and no hicups! 200Mhz FSB and 16 Multi = 3.2Ghz
and its on an old Abit Fatality AN9-32X. stock voltage. all i did was upgrade cooler to AC Freezer Pro

only thing I hate, is i cant get accurate temps with any program! right now Speedfan says CPU= 24C and CORE= 14C....blah

but seriously try 16*200 and u should hit 3.2GHZ without any probs

i did try it but went down becuse of cooling 34 degrees ide and 45 hard loads so i broght it down

On air I wouldnt recommend getting higher than 3.2 On many boards that I have tested with the 710 SB 3.2 has given me problems. But hey like it is posted everywhere every board is different and if your board will do it nicely than by all means do it and keep it. The 5000+ has been a faithful processor in my collection and I have relied on them more than once. YET, Ihave burned them up twice OCing on air. Lots of fun doing it and they were free. Just choose your settings wisely and remember its your rig. You will figure out what is best for you.

iam ok @3.0ghz know iam going for that video card u suggested
