Expand Post »
I saw once somewhere that my cpu can run up to 3Ghz but standard it runs on 2,2...

I have an Asus M2N32 SLi Deluxe mainboard with 4Gb OCZ memory, AM2 4200+ cpu with a golden bullit cooler on it and a Hiper R 550w powersupply

oh yeah and 1 Asus EN9600GT graphiccard and a samsung spinpoint 320Gb 16mb cache HDD

Can any1 tell me how I can best do this??

Re: AM2 4200+ op 3Ghz??

its called overclocking

it can break (physically melt) your cpu though, and lead to many other problems. So if you dont know what you are doing, dont do it!

in the bios, you can adjust the settings for overclocking. Remember, small steps, dont crank it all the way up to the max!

another important thing is cooling. You need additional cooling for overclocking. Keep a keen eye on your cpu temp.
