I have a asus CM1630 desktop and i just replaced teh cpu fan and was wondering about overclocking.

the cpu is a Athlon XII 920 2.8ghz locked with no bios options to go in and tweak. As the multiplier is locked, I could increase the bus speed wtih amd overdrive, but how much safely?

bus speed overclocking takes a bit of patience. you have to keep an eye on your HTT and memory speeds. As you increase your bus, the htt and memory will increase much faster, so you will have to lower them after the initial bus change.
