Forum Overclocking : AMD AMD Sempron LE-1100

Word :    Username :           
 

Good day, I've just joined these forums but I've found several fixes for my older problems before with google here and now I'd like to ask if you could help me with overclocking my Sempron LE-1100 to run Bad Company 2. My gfx and ram should be able to do it, but my processor is holding me down. Ram is 1 gb + 512 mb ddr2 and gfx is Nvidia Geforce 9500 gt 1gb with latest drivers (updated last week) and Windows XP 32bit. I'd like it to be stable, but I don't know what the possibilities are for such a mythical chip.

Need to know what motherboard you have before we can give you any recommendations.

I guess it's an Asus M2A-MX, at least that's what CPU-Z says.

The Sempron LE-1100 is on that list, I don't quite inderstand why linking that was necessary.

Hi, you should be able to run any 65W or less AM2+/AM3 cpu like the Phenom II and Athlon II, I know you are looking for overclocking info but a cheapo upgrade to a Athlon II REGOR 3.0 GHz is about $60.

You should be able to adjust the CPU multiplier in the BIOS to quickly raise Speed...

Yes, I was actually thinking about an Athlon and I am going to buy it, I just need to overclock this one so I could play until I get it.

Reply to sindraim

Oh sorry I must have thought of a different thread. I thought you wanted to upgrade the CPU. Just start upping the FSB in the bios in small increments.

Reply to Supermuncher85

Thank you, I'll try doing that.

Reply to sindraim

Hi, have you tried adjusting your FSB speed, it usually starts at 200MHz try increasing the speed to 225 (this will overclock your RAM too so you might have to reduce your RAM multiplier) there are quite a few people who reached 300MHz with a 9.5X multiplier but this could cause heat issues....

I don't know if it will work but you could try to use AMD overdrive to increase your CPU speed, they have an auto overclock function...

I was looking through overclocking software and AMD Overdrive was actually amongst the ones I found, but I thought it's only for Phenom/Athlon.

Reply to sindraim

So I installed it and when I try launching it up, it just throws the "AMD Overdrive failed to start." window at me.
