Athlon 1.4 OC

[GoingUp]

Has anyone got a 1.4 Tbird to run at 1733 mhz when running 13x133?

I have a KG7 and wonder if its possible...

I have my chip at 1.85 volts right now... and 12x133 = 1600....

Any help would be appreciated!

its possible depending on temperature and cooling and stepping

You have to be very carefull though...
Your 1.4 Tbird is the hottest processor around, even today.
I would assume that this processor in this overclocking state emmits like close to 80 W of the heat, so your cooling system would have to be, very, very efficient.

I got my Tbird to post at 1600Mhz max on air on my KG7. Failed booting into windows tho.

I seriously doubt 1733Mhz is possible without extreme cooling, even then you need some serious luck. What stepping? AYHJA? AXIA?

Yeah I think you'd have to have some good cooling (probably water) to get anywhere near that high. I've gotten my 1.4 up to 1550 on air, but it wasn't what I would call stable. I've only heard of a few 1.4's that like to be overclocked, mine isn't one of them. Right now I'm running mine at 1.4, but using a 140Mhz FSB. I think increasing the FSB is the best way to overclock these chips.

1733 is definitely optimistic for that chip

I had it at 1650 but I get probs...

Right now its runnin stable at 12x133= 1.6 Dont wanna screw with the FSB....

I have been running my 1.4 @ 1602MHz (11.5x139) for the past 4-5 mths, no problems at all. I think I've reached the limit already, as it'll become a bit unstable if I add 1 more MHz to the fsb, when running Prime95. The CPU will post @ 1650MHz tho, but it won't go into windows.
I'm using my CPU with a Soltek SL75-DRV4, running at 1.9v. Cooling is an Alpha PAL6035 with 6800rpm Delta fan (60mm). Temp is abt 50 idle & 55-56 full load. Lower if I turn on the aircon.

I've never seen a 1.4 go that high
there is a reason they stopped making the T-Bird at 1400 Mhz.
I doubt you'll hit 1733.
if you're lucky you may get 1600.

I agree with everyone else, the T-Bird core seems to top out around 1.5 GHz.
