Overclocking AMD Processor How? Is It Safe?
Hello,
I recently had a issue with my old asrock motherboard and I could not be bother to wait for the rma process to go through which could be anywhere from 1 week to 3 months and I am on a tight budget so I swapped the Asrock FM Board with a old x-gaming board.
This board has the Socket 939 Input so I carn't get any processors more powerful then 2.00Ghz so I am just thinking about overclocking the cpu so it can play modern games
Please look at the SPECS BELOW before answering so I don't destroy this machine by burning it out.
Once you have read how far should I overclock and is the cpu fan enough or would I need water cooling?
Motherboard: MICRO-START INTERNATIONAL CO .LTD MS-7125
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+
RAM: 1GB DDR Ram (Yes I be upgrading the ram to 4 at least soon)
Graphics: Currently a crappy PCI Card but going to upgrade to Nvidia 650TI
Thanks!
