i have a 4200+ windsor, what do you think of upgrading to a AMD Athlon X2 7750 BLACK EDITION 2.7GHz AM2+ unlocked, can i do that, and would it be good????

[dawoodakram2]

Right, the ram worked out great, but i can only overclock stable from 200*11 to 251*11, so from 2.2ghz i am now at 2.758ghz my ram was ddr2 400 i got the ddr2 800, which is running at 459.7 mhz, 5-5-5-18, single channel and it is at 2t, i set it to 667 in bios then ran at only cpu/7 set it to 800 in bios runs at cpu/6, which best ?? think this 1, also i have now this 1gb ddr2 800, 1 stick, i have 2x 512 ddr2 533 lying about, i can if i wish run all together but will only do 300mhz tried it. so i dont know what best??? is it 1xgb ddr 800 at 459mhz or 2gb ddr2 533 at 300mhz ?????? would be double ram at 159mhz loss???

think best i buy another stick ddr2 800?? at moment is only single channel? would then be double channel right?????

thanks for your advice, and yes this is me had problem logging into account dawoodakram so made this account dawoodakram2. 1 more thing i cant go higher than 2.8ghz why?? you think is 2.2ghz windsor 4200 cpu limit ????

Depending on the cooler and quality RAM you got 2.8ghz is pretty good, especially because you don't have an unlocked multiplier. In any case I'd get the second ddr2 800 to give you 2gb of ram in dual chanel at the best speeds. 460 x 2 is well voer 900mhz so thats a good good overclock. Also, I can have your password reset if that's an issue.

Ok maybe im expecting too much of my overclock.lol - i got STABLE 2.758ghz and ram STABLE at 459.7 thats cpu/6, i have done what you said and ordered a further stick of 1gb ddr2 800 same as other 1, please can you do pw reset as i got the email tried reset but keeps saying error, then i can delete this account. thanks for all your help, just trying lift voltage above 1.4v but cant?? in bios goes 1.5 but i cant see it why?? using abit bios.

ok done something else now was at as above with memory but lowered it to 394.4 thats cpu/7 and was at t2 but now lowered it by 65.3mhz its at t1, will it be faster slower but at t1????

Hey everyone, I'm back. Seems much has been going on in this forum since my last post. I'll read up and get up to speed.

Welcome back Gabe! Literally, start back with post 1 because we updated all the new info there. I'd appreciate a message on MSN

This will also get you up to date:

Just flashed the new bios....very nice. Although now there is an unknown device in device manager, actually it calls it "coprocessor" and can't find a driver automatically. I can figure it out though, just thought it may be of some use to let you know about it. Anyway nice stable menu's , I like it.

First off I want to say thank you to Thewiz this guide was awesome! I have looked and looked for a bios update for this board and it only seems to be available from HP and for Vista OS only. It was my first time ever "flashing" a bios and with the guide it was pretty simple I was actually able to do it with a SD card out of a digital camera in place of the USB Flash drive.

My newb question would be what are some safe over clocking settings for my CPU "Athlon 64X2 5000+

NOTE: I am currently using default CPU frequency of 200 and have not touched the multiplier. I have stock cooling for the HP a6200n and I tried plugging the CPU fan into the regular case fan jumper for the "turbo cpu fan" but the noise was just too annoying so I put it back on the cpu fan jumper and set the fan speed to auto in the bios.

So what can Turn this up to? that wont damage my CPU based on the horrible stock cooling of the HP a6200n

I am still working on the logistics of an overclocking guide, butI would say you can safely start by bumping your FSB in incrememnts of 5 for now and makking sure your DDR is set to MaxMemClk. Also gabe, the coproccessor is a new one as no one else has reported that. It does indeed reinstall drivers for the SATA ports etc., but its possible your particular CPU requires a newer AMD driver (check Wwindows Update)
