try AMD Overide program (not sure if it works with sempron),
click on auto overclock function sit and relax.
If not you will have to read good step by step Overclocking guide and use bios.

best is to find Sempron 3000+ review from old day, go to overclocking section and see how and whats possible to do.

here is quote from review page,,,,,,

"With our Sempron 3000+, which runs internally at 1.8 GHz multiplying its 200 MHz base clock by 9, we managed to increase its base clock to 250 MHz, which made it run internally at 2.25 GHz, an increase of 25% over standard clock.

By using this overclocking, AMD processor accomplished the Super Pi benchmarking in 42.765 seconds, time 24.18% lower than that of the processor operating at its original frequency. A good result. "

so i would say increase clock to 230Mhz and start going up from that point up maybe you can achieve 250 mhz as well

Hi duxducis, Thanks for your reply
.

the sempron is not compatible whit the CCC Or AMDVEC

And the Bios does not hawe any special overclocking features.

And il check the old TH articles right away.

thanks.

but i would be easyer whit a program compatible whit this ancient cpu that i wonder why it still is working :p
