Time to venture into overclocking

[siq]

Setup....

Gigabyte GA-7VAX Mobo
Amd Athlon 2000+XP
512 Kingston pc2100 (:()

I dunno what else you need but right now I just gave it alittle 30 mhz so i'm running solid at 1.7 ghz and i'm still running 32 degrees idle. I turned on the "Top Performance" option in my bios to see what it did and it put me up to 1.7

What do I do from here :D

I'll have to find screenshots of your bios. then i'll be able to tell ya more about it.

well here's all the info on the motherboard from the manufacturer.

I'm looking for the specific version of my bios right now to help you out. I'll post it if I can.

I guess Ctrl-F1 opens an extra menu in your bios -- from reading on other's trying to overclock with it, it looks like you'll have increments for the frontside bus... 12.5x multiplier on that chip, so a 10mhz increase would put you at 1,787.5Mhz (example, prolly wouldn't need any extra voltage for this) -- that should probably be a safe margin for your ram, but you won't know till ya try it of course. :P


1.7ghz eh... that'd be 136Mhz FSB.. my xp2400+ thoroughbred liked 147Mhz FSB with PC2100 ram, I don't know about the Palomino.

Finding an average of ~2ghz at around ~1.95v and higher for that particular CPU around the net.

your 2000+ xp... is it a t-bred or palamino?
