Hello, I'm looking to push my t-bred A 1700+ higher than 1.47 Ghz and I'm not like some people who excpect to break 1.7 Ghz or something (if I can push it to 1.6 I'd be thoroughly happy!)...

I do have AS3 and a Volcano 9 + many casefans (And a clean setup for proper air flow) so I'm hoping I can push it....

Anyway, are there any guides that explain this step by step? I have the a7n8x-d and 512 megs pc2700 ram.

I realize that i can blow my mobo, and I am fully aware of the implied caveat with ocing.

The main reason i'm looking to push it is for encoding to speed it up a little bit + the factor of saying I could push my cpu

Thanks

P.S. all of you guys talk about PRIME95...where can I get it?
