over clocking

[Method]

ok well i got a socket 3 motherboard and im sure the bios is too old to over clock thru how do you overclock i have no idea at all so could you tell me step by step and may with some diagrams please :/ im totally new to this stuff and want to get into it

cheers

you should really consider getting some more modern hardware.
or is this a joke LOL:D

check this thread out Socket 3 thread (http://forums.overclockers.co.nz/showthread.php?s=&threadid=982)

I think Method is for real :eek:

[I.R]

Off topic: are [SMG]Method?!?!?!?!? :D

[_N_]

he's what we call a newbie,

know's absolutely nothing, i had the feeling that he was thinking that a 386 is the speed of a cpu.

but don't worry, in 21 days he'll be one of us. :D :D :D :D

[whetu]

on older hardware you'll have to do it by way of jumpers.

On the motherboard itself you'll notice little plastic jumpers on metal pins, you set your cpu speed using these jumpers.

If you look carefully on the motherboard, there should be some white printing on there indicating what jumper combinations are required for each particular speed.

come on guys.. a bit more effort eh ;)

he may only want to overclock a socket3 rig, but whats the attitude amongst us overclockers? If it can be overclocked, then overclock it. The XIth commandment: Thou Shalt Overclocketh.

heres a basic fact:
cpu speed = front side bus x the multiplier

I dont know what the FSB of your cpu is but you should try to change the multiplier.

You will need to know the jumper combination for each multiplier. You might find this info on the motherboard itself or in the manual for your motherboard.

You might be better off asking more specific question for us to help you with:)

it won't be called fsb, thats a up beat funky term, it'll just be called bus speed... and it will probably be 33mhz, socket 3 (486) are great, they aint multiplier locked so you can se em a whatever clockspeed you want and they will probably go ok, really depends on the chip, the AMD dx2/4's didn't oc too well, what cpu have you got?

[Method]

ehh yes im a newb at ocing i just wanna try it out soon il have sumtin betta to oc with

yes i am for real bout this :cool:

na im not that method i hardly play cs D;

im gettin the oines from u wibber and i got a intel i486 dx2
it runs a 66 but thats on 'turbo'

[max]

"turbo" is a gimmick. When its on you are running at normal speed and when it is turned off you are running beloew normal speed. Gay aye?

[Method]

yeah ok lol thats pretty gay

umm i swappd some pins round all it changes=d is like when you start up those numbers in kb that keep going up then stop like at the very start they got way less...

[Humantuckshop]

You could possibly try Software overclocking. There are programs like SoftFSB, CPUFSB and CPUCool. These programs basically let you change the FSB while you are in Windows.

[Method]

doesnt have the net or a os im still tryin to get the fu*ken cd rom drive workin

Method, you are reffering to the memory count, which counts the RAM.

[Method]

oh so i screwed the ram now?

method, there is a reason swear words dont work here, try to just avoid swearing mmmmk
-whetu

[_N_]

well, if it's counting less, then yes, which means that you'll have less RAM and it will be more unstable.

I've done this an old 486's with static. Try getting some more RAM, heaps of ppl have it lying around

[Method]

its gone back up :/ i think i was messin with the wrong pins.. btw whats sx and dx and sl?

[_N_]

dx = double.
sx = single

when they got to 50MHz THey couldn't make the CPU and FSB run at the same speed, so they made it run at 2 x 33 MHz = 66Mhz DX2.

[Method]

how can i make it run at 100?

[_N_]

well if it's a DX4, then you would select:
25MHz Front side bus, or the chipset speed x 4 which is a multiplier.

Or I once Oced a DX2 66 to 100, by leaving the multiplier at 2, and rasing the FSB up to 50, because most boards should support up to that speed.


so for 100, either 4 x 25MHz
or 2 x 50 MHz

[Wibber]

ahhahahahahahahha! roflmao! softfsb a 486 heh! good one...were you joking??

most i486 Dx2-66 were good for at least 80mhz, you just want to up the bus speed from 33mhz to 40mhz, hopefull it written on the board, it might not support it, some of the earlier boards don't, esp those made by oems like compaq

*giggles*


Yeah pretty much - it sure as hell won't work if he has no OS. :p

Remind me - what is the point of overclocking when there is no OS installed......... :rolleyes:

I would (and do) install the OS and then try OC'ing afterwards, but hey, that's just me. :p

Hit the Turbo button! :p


heh heh ... good ole Turbo :D

[farns]

My Dad's p100 has a turbo buton, erm what exactly does it do?
Lol looks just like a gimmick

[Method]

na i just wanna try out ocing ;D

[Grrr!!]

The Turbo button is for REALLY OLD games, some of which ran in realtime with the processor. In other words, the game was fine on a 286, but ran fast as hell on a 486. And try playing on a P4 2.5Ghz :D.

not quite. DX signified a built in maths co-processor. SX had no maths co-processor, which significantly hindered it's number crunching abilities (and as a result "intensive" games such as DooM generally played about twice as fast on a DX).

[utopian201]

damn, so the turbo button didnt actually engage a turbocharger?

hehe yeh think of sx as the celeron of the old days
dx means its not crippled
:P

[utopian201]

and also y did they call it a DX-4 100

shouldnt it b DX-3, since 3 * 33.........??

Duh :rolleyes:

Read the above posts....

Its called dx-4 because it runs at 4 x 25.

You wont be able to oc anything unless you manage too find a manual for your motherboard. Use the Google.....
