AMD help

[Gamingfreak]

temps arent really an issue when u have a zalman fan, i have one and ive overclocked as high as my motherboard will let me and im still well within safe temp ranges i just wish my motherboards voltage would go higher

i probably really don't need to overclock...hows my system setup below compared to the dell 4700c.....I just need to know how much faster this setup will be

I think it looks good. Just need a better video card if you plan on playing new games.

 

[golf_addict73]

no...not a big gamer...the newest game i'll be playing is Need for speed underground...thats my extent of computer gaming

 

[TRDCorolla1]

It should be ok then. I use to have FX5200 video card. It works pretty good.

even so i would still get a 6600gt just in case and ur comp will last longer if u do

Hmm, I thought the multiplier is locked at 10x for AMD64's.

 

[TRDCorolla1]

Yeah it is. But I think you can lower it, but can't go higher than 10X. Haven't tweaked the BIOS in awhile so I could be wrong. I hate having to reboot my PC to look up that info though, lol. Too many open windows including homework assignments.

Yeah, it is 10x and you can reduce it. I was reading an article on OC'ing A64's last night. It's a nice guide/test:
