I run an abit KT7A mobo with wz bios a t-bird 1.2 axia, 5 case fans plus a vatec FCE cooler and delta fan. I can get 1.33 out of it with out a hitch 10x133 1.8 volts but when i go 10.5x133 tryed 1.825 and1.85 volts but know good. it boots into windows and freezes at the zone alarm start up. I'm pretty sure its not the cpu because all i have to do is turn it off with duron i had to clear the cmos. its the same result when fsb is applyed instead of multi, help?
1.2 axia will not reach 1.4 help

I have been overclocking for years (I mean a really long time, as in I overclocked a P5/200 to 225 mhz by running the FSB at 83mhz... before ANYONE was overclocking) and if there's one thing you learn about o/c it's that not all chips will do a given speed. Regardless of the core, the stepping, etc, etc.
Especially with manufacturers binning their parts (in other words testing and selling the higher performing parts at higher speeds) it is difficult to know that what you are buying can overclock at all.
If you really wanted 1.4 gig you should have bought a 1.33 gig part. It's more likely that a 1.33 gig part would be able to do 10X140fsb and probably would be stable. Also you wouldn't have to void your warranty by unlocking it.
There's probably lots you could do to continue your o/c adventure. People have had to replace half their system to find out why they couldn't hit a certain speed. RAM, power supply, motherboard, heatsink and the chip itself are all suspect. The funny thing is you can easily spend more on this approach than it would have cost you to just buy the higher end part in the first place.
When a 700mhz part cost $250 and a 933 mhz part cost $500 I could understand the drive to o/c. But now that you can get any speed t-bird for under $200 I don't see what the big deal is, people try to save $50 and rip their hair out in the process.
It's too bad your part won't o/c, but then again, you got what you paid for.

You are just asking for it, with that comment.
Btw, I had my "state-of-the-art" K6-166 overclocked to 200mhz, by changing the multiplier. And I'm certain that there were people overclocking before I was.

you are right, I was o/c the bus at 75 mhz to reach 225 mhz.
I was doing this around 96 if memory serves me right, which is quite a bit earlier than most people.
I would show up at LAN parties with my bad ass overclocked rig and people would ask me what the hell overclocking was.

Just to mention, I overclocked my 486 from 25 to 33 (and the FSB from 25 to 33 as well). Long long before ANYONE thought about Pentiums.
My 386 box had a "Turbo" button that let me toggle between 8mhz and 16mhz. Does that count???
I've been overclocking since the P120Mhz was first released... mine would go to 133MHz. At the time 133MHz was the best money could by so it was pretty nice
96' was early to overclocking but not earlier theven "anyone". I was overclocking earlier and I can think of a few people that have been overclocking since the days fo the 286.

My week 15 1.2GHz AXIA can barely do 1.33GHz. So far, it does appear to be stable at 1.33GHz. However, it won't run stable if I bump the FSB up to an amazing 135 even at max voltage (I didn't bother testing 134 FSB).
Do you guys think a peltier would help by any meaningful quantity in overclocking it?

turn down the multiplier and up the FSB, the higher the FSB bus, the more performance it will have.
I will take a 140 x 10 cpu over a 14 x 100 any day!
Btw... Overclocking before anyone eh?
Do you remember 33mhz buses, how bout 8mhz cpus?
I didn't think so... you were asking for it...hehe!!

gimme the damn CPU I will have it hit at least 1450!!
I had an AVIA 1.2, and I was running it @ 1450!! And thats an OLDER stepping!! I know someone running 1650 with an AXIA 1.2... the guy is a little nuts and has very little social life though
Anyways... up the voltage... drop the multiplier to 9 x 155 and WHAMMO!! you have 1395 with INSANE memory bandwidth!!

I've an old, week 52 2000, BVHA stepping 1,2GHz/200MHz FSB CPU that won't go past 1260.....well sometimes life sucks....
I've tried everything, voltage mods, new BIOSES and so on, still a no go.
