Don't mess with your bios if you don't know what your doing!

[guitarnerd]

Yeah I tried to overclock and when I restarted my computer...well it didn't restart all because I messed with the clock speed. Anyway I ended up having to open my puter up and reset the bios with the jumper.

If you don't mess sth you will not learn anything.

I got an utility to overclock my computer.... came with the Gigabyte CDROM.

[guitarnerd]

I want to overclock my 950mhz cpu to a 1ghz cpu, just so I can say I have 1ghz. That is all I am trying to accomplish :)!

What is this software you speak of? :D

[Giancarlo]

It is called EasyTune III.

Anything for an old Asus something something peice-of-crap?

[guitarnerd]

Or how about for an ECS Elite Group

[Coolin]

Modify it in the BIOS itself.

[guitarnerd]

My Bios doesn't have it I tried to change voltage and bus speed :mad:

[blueman]

i got an ecs elitegroup motherboard also i just bought it its model number k7s5a recommend by amd for durons and xp's and toms hardware but i dont think ecs makes any overclock able motherboard changing the cpu setting n the bios will just make the mb not find the processer then youll haffa use the bios jumper :) its funny i got a 1 ghz duron and it runs at 1015 mhz and some times 995 them lying assholes amd!

mini atx eh? mines the http://www.ecs.com.tw/products/k7s5a.htm


its better MUAHA!

[guitarnerd]

I plan on upgrading sooner or later but mine runs fine for now, the only bad thing is I only have 2 pci slots :(

[Bruce]

ECS mobos don't have any overclocking options.
Asus, Abit, Giga-byte, MSI, and most newer mobos do have overclocking capabilities from the bios though.

[Giancarlo]

Yeah... true.... and AMD boards are real cheap now... if you wanna upgrade...

[guitarnerd]

I may be buying one for my other computer it seems to freeze for no reason and I have a feeling it is the motherboard. I am gonna change around the cards in the PCI slots

Just don't go with Soyo if you hate IRQ conflicts...

Yeah I recently had a soyo motherboard it, I had a lot of conflicts with my IRQ because when I record in my studio I use a special sound card that was assigned to the same IRQ as all the others and it would constantly freeze.

Although I have heard good things about the Dragon boards

[Giancarlo]

Yeah Soyo is a great board if they just got their IRQ conflicts resolved. I put in two USB devices (my 10/100 LAN and Lexmark X73), a Video Card and a sound card nothing works. I tried switching everything and I just returned it in the end.
