I want to overclock eventually by changing the BIOS, but untill im totally confident on what im doing i wanna use a windose GUI utility, just to push that little bit extra from my rig. I know you guys will proabably say to just use the BIOS but i aint too worried about not getting the best results as i'll save that for when i do eventually learn to properly overclock, until then can you suggest a half decent util that will work with my asrock939 duall sata2 and my x2 3800? On my old pentium4 3ghz, gigabyte board i used easytune4 and pushed it to 3.4, although probably could of gone higher, so i hope there is something similar for my new set-up as it improve my benchies no end. Oh and is it just me, or all the overclocking noob guides still dam confusing lol. Its not that im not willing to learn, im just wanting something to play with before i do!
Yeah, i have heard that before, although why, im not entirely sure, but you guys know alot more than i do. As long as it does not damage my system, is reversable and provides 'some' worthy overclocking though, i'll be happy (for now). Like i said i will properly overclock sooner rather than later, but i'd like to know all i can before doing that, if you are saying that a windows app could damage anything then i wont bother...
Yeh the OC guide isnt all that great these days as overclocking an AMD is a lot different, the basic principles the same but we have deviders, htt and ht ratio to consider now. It really isnt that hard though, look for a review of your motherboard, theres usually an overclocking section of the review and that helped me understand it all.
