Figure 7: Overclocking options from GF8200A.

With this motherboard we could increase the base clock from our Athlon X2 4600+ from 200 MHz to 230 MHz with the CPU running stable. Under this overclocking our CPU was running internally at 2,775 MHz, a 15.62% increase from its default clock rate of 2.400 MHz. We could set our CPU running at higher clock rates, but the system was unstable.
