I've got an AMD 3800+ X2 (dual core) processor and was thinking about overclocking it. From what i've seen, quite a few people on here have the same processor and was wondering if any of you have tried overclocking it, and if so, what you have reached. I've looked around google and tried a good many links, but most of them seem pretty complicated etc. Does anyone have any links to quality tutorials / step by step instructions on how to overclock my cpu? I tried using Aibooster which came with my motherboard, but it seems buggy, and won't let me overclock past 2.2ghz (110%) It also suddenly changed to somethin like 4.4ghz.. I know you have to change memory speeds and voltages etc, but not sure exactly which / how. Here's my specs: -Nvidia 256MB ScanFX PCI-E 7800GTX -1gb Corsair overclockers DDR ram -AMD 3800+ X2 -Asus A8N-SLi Premium NF4 S939 DDR400 PCI-E SATA Raid Gbit Lan 8Ch Audio Thanks in advance dja
