I've alwasy thought the only thing you could change was the FSB, But Im hearing theres now ways to change the muliplier, and voltage.. Does anyone have any clue on how to do this, I've been wanting to OC my duron 750, But cant, due to the restrictions, And rather not start cutting bridges and...

Geesh, 2 days and Im still playing with it, here's the problem, I just bought another putter yesterday (750 MHz TBird) and I think my older 350 got jealous and committed suicide.. Its not working at all, So Here's the symptoms and things I tried. It goes through post fine, installs Dos and my...

Just wonder what You think of this fan, Im thinking of OC'ing my duron 750 to 1Ghz and need a gool cooling system, Would this be adequate? http://www.thermaltake.com/superorb.htm <-- Some info for this fan

Yes Sir, Its an AMD Duron 750. YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW HAPPY I AM TO HEAR THAT! I was starting to get the impression I couldn't OC it because the board wouldn't do it by its self... SWEET!! Do you know of any sites that are in depth about how to do all this The Pencil Trick.. and such. Thank you...

I Have A Gigabyte GA-7ZM and have heard you can not do anything to overclock it except change the FSB.. Is this True? I was always under the impression that you could unlock the CPU and change the factors there.. Can anyone clear this up for me? I would like to OC my Duron 750 to 950Mhz, But If...

In regards to overclocking, Does both the CPU and MOBO need to be &quot;Overclockable&quot; I always thought you could do all the changes on the CPU, but have heard you &quot;HAVE&quot; to be able to change the multiplier on the Mobo aswell in order for it to work, Can some one clear up this...

So I cant do anything with this Mobo? I cant overclock it at all? I was hoping on going to 1Ghz and was under the impression you can &quot;Unlock&quot; the multiplier Geesh, This is gonna suck If I cant do anything to it.. Are you sure I cant unlock these options?

Your right, You cant adjust the core Voltage, But cant you do that on the Duron chip its self. Also, Im glad I have this Board, even though it sucks for expansion, It kicks ass with Overclocking stability ; ) http://www.gamersdepot.com/hardware/motherboards/gigabyte/ga7zm/001.htm <--- Review of...

Just as the topic reads, What would be a good cooling system for this paticular setup, Im also thinking of going up to 1Ghz. It already has a standard AMD fan on it, but i doubt thats going to do much after overclocking her Thanx for any Help

I just have one more question.. About cooling, when everyone says stable, Is this with the original cooling, or will I need more fans to help cool her down.. What type of fans should I get for a Duron 750@1Ghz with a standard AMD 750 cooling fan. Also, whats this pencil trick, Is that something...

Just wondering what OC'ing speed people have had with this paticular CPU, and what speeds can I expect? Im hoping on hitting 1Ghz, But hey, You never know till you tinker with it, Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

How are the Duron 750's? I changes the deal, Instead of a celeron 700 I asked for a duron 700, But seems this company no longer has them, the lowest now is a Duron 750.. Which should be getting shiped here any time.. So what OC'ing Speeds could I expect from a 750 duron?
