i am facing the same problem as you...
most of the guide i read is more on intel than amd...

what u means by fail?? if u play wit safe voltage.. i'm pretty sure ur hardware will not blow.. try slowly.. but now try to get what the theory mean first..

hi all bro, sis, sifu, here.
im noob in OC.
already tried OC my PC. but facing problem.
details:
AMD 64 3000+ venice w/ stock cooler
DFI infinity NF4 SLI
2GB Kingston DDR 400 Value
Corsair 750w RAM
Cosmos 1000 casing
my tries is stated below. all stress prime test done for approx. 6 hours.
1. set HT to 3x, multiplier 9x and lower RAM to 133Mhz & 1.35v. Up the FSB until 250 Mhz & run stress prime 2004, pass. after that upped the FSB to 255 Mhz can't pass the stress prime. PC hang.
2. lower the multiplier to 8.5x all other settings same, can reach max 260 Mhz FSB. stress prime pass.
3. lower the multiplier to 8x all other settings same, can reach max 270Mhz FSB. stress prime pass.
all of these setiings gave me only 2.2Ghz only. i saw others can get up to 2.5 Ghz or 2.6 Ghz. Where did i do wrong?
scare to increase the voltage since i only use stock cooler. but tried to increase until 1.45v can reach 255Mhz FSB x 9 only.
all the temperature checked using core temp and stay around 40-42 celcius.
need help from all the OC master in LYN here.
thanks!

provide with SS.. i think ur main prob here onli the vcore.. if u dare to pump more,, the more u get
