Athlon Overclock settings?

[Vidd]

I just bought a Athlon 800/KT7 combo. What do you guys think are the ideal settings to OC? I currently have it running @ 900 but could use a bit of advice on properly adjusting the settings (multilplier, voltage, fsb, etc)for various speeds (maybe 950 and up?). Thanks!

P.S. Actually to be more specific, if I set it 133 x 7.5, what should my voltage setting be?

Hey. It's probably gonna vary some from chip to chip.

Check this FAQ. You'll also find a link there to a pretty good KT7 forum.

Good luck!

My 800 T-bird is running, btw, at 1.775v, 8x110mhz with CPU at FSB+3 (904). I have a pretty good hs/f, too (Tai-Sol), and excellent case cooling. Your cooling will be VERY important.

Vidd,
How are you overclocking it now...via the FSB? or using a GFD?? These are things we need to know...
If I were you, I would purchase a GFD (Gold Finger Device) to use to overclock if you aren't using one and if you goto this site:
GFD and Basic overclocking
many questions can be answered...feel free to PM me or email me if you have further ???'s

screeching halt...sorry...disregard what I just said...you have a T-Bird..NEVERMIND..all that stuff is for a classic athlon..

Ideal settings vary from setup to setup. You must find these yourself.

More specifically, since you ask:
It doesn't matter what voltage to use at 133x7.5. It won't work regardless. Top FSB on those systems is about 115.
