what exactly do you wish to overclock? ypur cpu, your graphics card or your memory???
personally I have done all 3 lmao
to start with try dropping your memory cas timings down a touch, e.g. if in your bios they are set at 2.5 try putting them at 2 for a mega boost to your system speed
also if you want to overclock your cpu, then the safest way is to try upping your FSB a fraction at a time, this way you do not overly stress your cpu, what to do is put it up a notch at a time and see if your pc runs STABLE, again faster FSB = faster machine
your graphics card you did not specify but again the same rule apply's, you can overclock this too, i would recommend a software tweak such as COOLBITS or some other tweaker, any questions m8 get in touch
ONE OTHER THING I WILL NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY PC GOING BANG, YOU TRY OVERCLOCKING AT YOUR OWN RISK [/glow]

graphics is a geforce fx5700 ultra used powerstrip and got it running sweet hot but sweet . all i wish to do is over clock my wuss cpu . amd athlon xp 2200+ on a asus a7n8x deluxe motherboard , i upped the multiplier and it was fine for a couple of hours then froze , i have since had another fan put in to keep it cooler any suggestions or ideas would be great ;D

Some sweet pieces of kit gentlemen.
As soon as i can afford a new Radeon 9600 from overclockers.co.uk i'll give 3D mark a go.
But it'll laugh at me if i try it on my current Radeon 9100 lmao...

[glow=red,2,300]How's this for a bit of cooling [/glow]

[-(aaK)- Deltz]

Damn that is chilled.
Looks the fans i've got stuck to the bottom of my two hardrives....

Here's something i wouldn't mind if i had a decent processor.

Though where the hell i would put it is another question.

I've got to find an old link i had to a freezer system.
Keeps the CPU at a chilled minus 50 degrees.
Takes the piss big time.
But it cost at least a grand. But i still want one lol.

[glow=red,2,300]Theres actually a total of 4 fans on that card, one on the back as well
The card itself there is a Elsa Gladiac 920, it's a top of the range geforce 3 that can still wee from a very high height in terms of framerates onto a geforce fx5600, which is the current card I have in my system, I am thinking about taking the 5600 out and flogging it, and putting that one back in, and how much have I overclocked it I hear you all ask ........ ALL THE WAY BABY [/glow]

lmao, class buzz.
The overclocking king....
My brother stole his Radeon 9600 back, and now i'm left with a 9100.
Thank f**k i'm only playing Avp2 and Freelancer at the moment....
A pathetic 64 MB of Ram in it.
But start work tommorow so money at last ;D

[glow=red,2,300]As to the "freezer method" it most definately is the way forward, however you really don't need to spend a fortune on the kit itself, have a jump over to Maplin.co.uk
What I am intending to do at some point is just buy the cpu chiller part, then buy a pump from a garden pond centre, the reason? faster flow rates Lower Cooling potential, I reckon you could put a decent cooler together for less than £60[/glow]
