Hi - I'd be grateful for some help with the build of my 1st Athlon64
(Socket 754) PC using a Gigabyte GA-K8NS Pro motherboard. The CPU
will be an AMD Athlon64 (Newcastle) 3000+, the RAM will be Crucial
DDR400 PC3200 and teh Graphics card an HIS AIW 9800Pro.
I remember having to set a clock multiplier on my last build (GA-7N400
Pro2), but don't see where a multiplier can be set in the GA-K8NS-Pro.
If I leave the CPU Vcore at the default 1.550v and the CPU Overclock
setting at 200, will my CPU run at the correct speed or do I need to
set anything else? I'm assuming that the multiplier (if there is any)
would need to be set to 10 for a 3000+, 11 for a 3200+ and 12 for a
3400+, but don't see anywhere to set it..
If I want to overclock the CPU, do I just have to increase the CPU
Overclock setting in the BIOS, and what effect will that have on the
motherboard Bus speed and on my RAM or my Graphics card?
Sorry to have to ask such basic questions, but I've let myself get
completely out of touch with these things.
Any help appreciated.
