hi i am new to this over clocking and i am having a few problems
1,i can not change my voltage
2, my ram is saying its 166 mhz and not 333mhz
3, it is saying my temp on processor is 63oc which i think must be wrong as i have a aftermarket cooling fan.
any help will be fantastic thanks danny

yeah i have had a look at it i have tried to overclock my pc and got it running 2 a xp 3200 at and nearly 400mhz fsb . i just cant understand why my pc is saying my ram is 166mhz and not 333mhz i have tried to get software called clockgen but it does not support my mother board and as for the temp did i miss a wire when i put it all together it just seems strange it is always on 63oc it never moves even on games

yeah might be its just weird there is a thing in bios where you can check temp and its around 36oc when booted up and then when i play games for a long time and recheck its only gone up to around 47 max, but when i use software to check it never moves thats why i am thinking i missed a wire , thanks danny

if you are going to overclock the cpu than get a new & bigger heatsink/fan unit to help reduce the temp or you'll fry that cpu

depending on the fan but yes it is good as i've seen fans spin from the 2000's to the 5000's rpm just depends on the fan motor
