Overclocking a 146

[Nitr0]

Hello,

As I noted in my last thread, I am a complete newbie when it comes to overclocking. I bought a 146 Opteron (CAB2E) and DFI LANParty UT NF4 ULTRA-D

I am wondering what my first steps should be with regards to pushing this chip up around the 2.8 mark (which is what seems to be the norm with this stepping)

Currently I have speedfan installed and it's reporting my cpu as 29C under load and 38 under load. (Prime95 torture test)

Could someone direct me in the correct way to start overclocking. I don't really want to mess around with voltages as I believe that could provide irreversable bad effects.

Thanks for your help.

What are you talking about, all it has is a forum that has people posting what they are getting out of their chips. I need to know how to overclock my chip.

I don't understand, am I completely dence? I have checked all the bolded stickies and everything in the "best of AMD" stickies and I cannot find any guides or information on overclocking, just how well others are doing.

Wheres your sense of adventure? Whats so bad about having a go yourself and seeing where you get before asking for help? If your question was 'I have reached XXXXmhz with X.XXV etc. how can I go higher?' people would have something to say to you, at the moment what your asking is for someone to write a little essay about how to overclock that has been written in different forms thousands of times on forums around the world.

Go and find a less 'xtreme' forum and have a look through the stickeys there, there will a basic overclocking 101 at any number of noobish forums.
