ASrock DualSata2 939 motherboard overclocking help

[steiner666]

Anyone else have this board? Prior to this i've owned hot running northwoods and prescotts so i havent even bothered overclcoking anything except the GPU to this point. I was wondering if anyone else has advice from experience on how to go about overclocking this board cause the advanced CPU bios on it are rather different than what i'm used to seeing.

currently i'm running

this board
Athlon64 +3700 San Diego
2gb OCZ Platinum PC3200 ram
X850xt pe AGP

thanks!

Make sure you disable "memory flexibility" in bios or whatever they call it. That sets ram to whatever dividers will put it under 200htt.

You may want to do the vcore volt mod (supposedly pretty easy) and vdimm mod (can be done with a booster).

OCWorkbench loves this board. There are some great threads in their forums, starting with this (http://www.ocworkbench.com/ocwb/ultimatebb.php?/topic/30/5271.html) one.

I have a 3000+ running on it moderately OC'd to 2.35Ghz @ 1.4v with an Arctic Cooling Katana, a Xclio 450W and a Coolermaster Centurion 5 with 1x120mm fan and I can't hear the thing over room noise. Idles at 30C.

hey thanks for the link. I havent had a chance to go over the threads real well yet but it looks good. Hopefully i can just find a simplified listing of the options in the bios and what to turn off and what to turn on and adjust and all that prior to OC
