Advice on overclocking AMD phenoms

Read the overclocking sticky here. IF you have a BE then you should overclock with the multiplier. Be sure to set your HT link to 1GHz. If you overclock using the FSB then be sure to lower the settings for your RAM AND lower the HT link multiplier as well as the north bridge multiplier.

ok my HT setting will go down to 1k but right now its at 2600. The highest setting on the cpu multiplier is 12x2400 (2.4ghz amd) and wont go any higher. so should i lower the HT and restart so it will give me a larger multiplier mabye? im having all kinds of problems figuring this the ram thing out too. for some reason my mb wont let me set the timing for my ram to 5-5-5-15 (the standard timing for the ram i have) the CAS latency refuses to go lower than 6 and my tRAS wont go to 15 so i end up with 6-5-5-18. I have the settings in my bios but they wont stick when it reboots the mb and if i work at siting by the computer and reseting it 12-15 times eventualy with those settings it will boot into the bios. ive just left it at defalt at 5-7-7-24 wich is stable for some reason. Could i have a motherboard problem or am i just newbin this problem up?

i have a amd phenom x4 9750 that i have overclocked up to 3.1 from 2.4 stable,if this is still an active thread i will post exactly how i did it,and the 4 little tricks......or loop holes i should say. let me know if this thread is still active and you are still looking.
