More Overclocking Nubes

[BlindMelon7]

I'm really sorry for starting another overclocking thread but i desperately need help.

My computer needs an upgrade and i cant afford to buy a new processor so i thought I'd try my hand at overclocking. So far, every forum or help site i have visited have told me the technicalities but haven't told me what to actually do. As far as I'm aware my motherboard doesn't have an overclocking utility in the bios so i need to run it from windows.

I'm not looking to break any records, I just want to add maybe 200mhz to my processor just to see how its done, then maybe I can move on to greater things.

we will need to know every aspect of your system
for the cpu we will need to know :
manufaturer
model
speed
code name

for the motherboard we will need:
make
model
bios verstion

and for the memory we will need
make
model
part

apparently it does have limited BIOS options if you are talking about the ECS listed in My System

doesn't look like a good clocking board though.

can i get this using cpuz?

[BlindMelon7]

i had a look im my bios, i can change the clock of the ram, but there isnt a mention of multiplyers etc.

i read the article. very depressing. new mb?

[BlindMelon7]

i sthere no way of doing it through windows?

I used to have an ECS RS482M, just increase the CPU Clock (listed under frequency and voltage control in the BIOS) 220mhz is quite easily achieveable on most 939's. It's not going to make much difference though. I'd find a way to get a proper graphics card, the onboard X200 is terrible, (btw make sure the clock frequency is set to Async and as high as stable on that).

i just tried 210 and it didnt boot so i'm guesing theres something faulty in there.

[BlindMelon7]

do u have to give it more voltage?

[BlindMelon7]

maybe i should give up while my computer still sort of works. thanx for the help tho.

I've had a go with ClockGen. I'm not doing it in a very skilled way (I'm gradually turing up the little bar )
Does anyone know how far I can go with the cooling provided? (I also have a 90mm fan on the case). I've gone up to 2.2 and its stable but I'm scared to go any further as I dont know how hot its getting (I think my motherboard is malfunctioning, it reads 50c constantly even if its just been turned on).

Thats a BIOS issue have a read of http://forums.hexus.net/showthread.php?t=56282

I appreciate you mention that you can't afford a new CPU but what about replacing the onboard gfx with a cheap card? I would have thought you'd see a significant improvement without having to O/C your CPU. OK, I'm assuming that you use your PC for stuff other than number crunching etc, were a gfx card could help... but just food for thought.

I intended to get an asus 6800ultra but one of my mates said dont bother because directx 10 is coming out.

DX10 is a long way off, and unless you intend to get vista, it will be of no use to you. I'd get the 6800 if I were you.
