AMD Optimal BIOS settings + Overclocking Guide
JMke writes "Here's a step by step guide on how to get the most out of your AMD setup. Overclocking tips and BIOS tweak settings discussed, as well as an overview of the more popular overclocking tools. Start your overclocking here!" Lots of good info here for getting the last bit of performance out of your system while also watching out for dangers that could fry your processor.

With all of the offshore outsourcing going on, we geeks need as much practice frying things as possible. =)
But ... but ... but ... it's QUAKE! I simply HAFTA play at 400 frames per second! Have you tried playing it at any less? It's practically a slideshow!

Seriously who doesn't know how to set there BIOS's settings?
My 96 year old grandmother uttered the other day that she was not perfectly confident with setting the DRAM burst timings on her nforce2 board. I pointed her to this site and now she is happy, because she could squeeze 2 fps more out of her box and can thereby delay the "necessary" upgrade for another 3 months. Silly old granny and the fps madness...
No overclocking is considered rock solid before you have compiled a complete gentoo on your OC CPU.
Fry the processor??? How about fry the egg on the processor!

Pan fried is an excellent way to cook your processor. After 24 hours in buttermilk, lightly coat it with some chili powder, granualted garlic and onion, a nice coating of flour, then into a cast iron skillet with a quarter inch of crisco at 325 degrees. About 10 minutes on each side, depending on the size of the CPU die should make for a tender and tasty meal. I like some mashed potatoes and gravy, and coleslaw on the side, with a pilsner to wash it all down.
I'm underclocking! My 1400 Athlon Tbird (so 2001) segfaults unless I underclock at 1.3 GHz, but it is then rock solid stable, running at just under 75C at 100% CPU with an external temp sensor. I just wanted a =quiet= PC is all.
I followed the articles pointers/tips to get a 180% performance boost out of my CPU! My university algorithm project has never run sae

...So the processor becomes so amazingly pissed from all the inflammatory insults that it refuses to continue doing work?
