Just wanted to know if it could be done or are you using the max voltage and u cant if that make sense?

hmm yess
AMD 4800+ x2 (socket 939)

dunno if they still do current Amd stuff - haven't looked for years

I totally have no idea what you mean in that first post... you can overclock any CPU these days.

I assume you mean that you'd already be using the max voltage and other than modding the board physically you can't bump it up more. Most boards these days as long as you don't buy the cheapest POS will have plenty of extra voltage.

Generally you push up the FSB until it becomes unstable - you can change the multi as well to vary speeds but the real gains come through FSB. Bumping up the voltage will help stabilise it when it starts to crap out.

The more the voltage goes up the more heat the CPU will poop out. If you are doing this on air it is not advisable to bump the vcore up TOO much otherwise the ol CPU won't like it much and may come out a bit crispy.

Other thing you have to bear in mind if you are pushing up the FSB is your RAM. If its already running at its rated speed you are pushing the RAM past its factory limit as well. So if you have ultra s***ty generic RAM you will probably not achieve much of an OC at all.

That's what memory dividers are for.

To allow you to limit your RAM speed while you push the FSB up.

Hrm tis been a while since I have actually clocked s*** up, I knew of the PCIe and AGP bus locks though.

How much of the rad :D
