I'm planning to overclock my AMD CPU and I was wondering if any of you guys could give me some advise. The CPU is an AMD Sempron 3200 AM2 socket. I head that these CPUs overclock well. However my board is only an ECS Geforce 6100sm-m.

Do you think that I can get it to 2+ghz?

Get a Chill Tec cooler, best cooler out there without going to water. You won't go above 45 under the heaviest load! Whoever told they don't go above 32 under heavy load is full of sh**.

Thanks for the info guys. I posted on another message board and got similar responses. I guess I'll just upgrade the CPU to an AMD X2 w/c the board supports. after that i'll buy a whole new PC some time down the road.
