Maybe for once I got lucky and something worked. ROFL I once visited |
| 54 |
the overclockers forum and found a listing for the "safe" settings for |
| 55 |
all sorts of Mobo and CPU and memory combinations. That was back in my |
| 56 |
ABIT NF7?? days. I don't know if they still post those or not. The |
| 57 |
overclockers forum isn't just about overclocking. They have info on |
| 58 |
what is considered safe as well. May be worth searching for info there |
| 59 |
as well as what people share here. If you lucky, someone has the same |
| 60 |
hardware you have and can share a screenshot or something. |
| 61 |
|
| 62 |
This is a link to the home page. You can get to the forums as well as |
| 63 |
how-tos and such from there. |

Hope that helps. Even one piece of good info can make it worthwhile. |

You don't want the smoke to get out of a chip or something. o_O |
