Hello,
I am trying to Overclock an AMD x2 Dual 4200+ 2.21 GHz.
I have an ASUS M2N32 SLI Deluxe Motherboard.

I have never Overclocked one of my systems before.

So basically, I need to know,

What you recommend the max to OC it to.
How to OC it. (What Utilities to use?)
What do I need to 'monitor' the system (CPU Temp., or anything else needed)

Thank You,
-anow2

    You can use the same basic steps for overclocking your AM2 based system as is used for overclocking a socket 939 or 754 system. Here is a great article written by our own lemonlime on overclocking those 2 platforms that will give you a great overview on overclocking your AM2 system. :)

    Anow2, keep in mind that for more than modest CPU overclocking, you need good CPU cooling and a well ventilate computer case. Please tell us what heatsink is on your CPU and in what case your system is housed.
