first off, this is my first try unlocking a core, secondly my first try trying to test for stability (been running a 5 year old pentium 4 till now), thirdly this is my first amd based pc, so bear with me
and yes ive read the countless threads about it and searched for a while, but i guess im doing it wrong xD
anyway, essentials are as follows:
Asrock n68c-s UCC
athlon x3 435
2gb (1 stick) kingston ram (10600 CL9)
now from the mobo's website there are quite simple instructions on unlocking cores, and so i followed them and ended up with phenom II x4 b35 (6mb L3 cache if thats relevant), now my dilemma is that speed fan now doesnt read core temps (it did when it was a x3) will go and DL an updated version in a while, and while reading around ive come across threads saying to test it with prime95, downloading it atm, but a short newbie guide for it would be appreciated (link?), and ive come across memtest as well, and i will try that later, so a beginners guide for that would be very helpful as well
thanks in advance to anyone that can help,
lala
