    Hi all,
    I wanted to OC my system, so I read a very nice page here:
    http://www.elite-------s.com/cms/index.php...id=54&Itemid=30

    My specs:
    Cpu
    [​IMG]
    Ram:

    Now I asked myself would this be helpful?

    My CPU's FSB is clocked at 201MHZ, and my ram at 166mhz, and it's already using FSB:DRAM. Wouldn't increasing the FSB causin' the memory to work slow?

    And if its good to overclock the FSB/ram (since the multiplier are locked), how? My Bios locked the Frequecies/voltage control. I tried several other programs but they dont work.

    Any help? :)

    well, typically the BEST way to OC is through BIOS. if you can't access it thrugh BIOS your options are quite limited.

    I would recomend to try for a 10% OC through A64 tweaker, but for some "odd" reason I don't see that working...

    Hmm, but there got to be a way to unlock it? I found my mobo's manual on an internet site, let me find it:http://rapidshare.de/files/19716081/Man_GA-8SGXP-FS_uk.pdf.html

    I searched the whole internet for it, couldn't find it ANYWHERE, driverguide, anything, not even on the gigabyte site. But since it's a siemens scaleo PC, i thought i'd try the site and viola.
    Now back to the topic;
    Maybe it's a jumper setting? Maybe I can flash my bios with a new update? (I have the file but IDK how to work with it?? )

    And A64 tweaker is for AMD :P

    well,you could try flashing it's BIOS and see if that does the trick. is it a custom comp or a manufactured one, sotre bought ones tend to not be OCabel through BIOS

    Bought from a store, but IDK howto flash the bios, I have the files but IDK how to use them :S. However the manaul does have a page with the frequency/voltage controls.. I'm trying to find out howto do it now. Its a file w/o extension.. :S

    hmm, i will never buy a pc again from a store, next time i'll setup one myself.

    I have never flashed bIOS myself but to the best of my knowlege all you have to do is to write it to a floppy and bot from it.


    do a bit of research first though.

    Update: Guy's I found a bios patcher. Here:
    http://www.softpedia.com/get/Tweak/System-...S-Patcher.shtml

    I read the readme twice, but I dont understand it. Should I put it on a CDROm and than boot it from the CD? the site for the other files rom.by was down but I was able to find those on an other site.
    Would anyone please read it and explain it to me, I dont understand it.

    Greatly appriciated. :)
