Hi there,
I've an ISSUE! What is easiest/safest way to overclock AMD Sempron 64 3000+ processor with socket 754 ASRock K8Upgrade-NF3 motherboard ( http://www.asrock.com/product/K8Upgrade-NF3.htm )? I've tryied to overclock my processor trought the BIOS (overclock mode), but everytime I boot, I'll get an error message "CMOS Checksum Bad". All tough, in Windows I could overclock my processor and graphic card with NTune, but overclock last until the next boot. I even have Zalman CNPS9500 LED processor cooler installed. Can anyone tell me, is there anykind of guide to do a safe overclock etc. Help the noob a.s.a.p.

I'm not too familiar with that mainboard.. is the 'overclock mode' an automatic overclocking tool? If yes, I'd recommend against using it. Manual overclocking, although a little more slow to accomplish, usually provides superior results.
'CMOS Checksum Bad' errors usually revolve around system instability (HTT bus speed too high is a common reason, as well memory instability)
Definitely check out the OC guide bikerboy linked
