Athlon T-Bred 2000 OC @ 2.2 GHZ

I've got my Athlon 2000 running at 2.2 ghz right now (On a PCChips mobo no less. 🙂 at 1.75 v. I've got a Zalman 7000A-Cu on top of it and it idles at about 40 Celcius at 175 mhz. Any higher and it goes BSOD on me. I've also got two sticks of PC2700 in the machine running at about 340ish mhz. I'm thinking about upping the voltage one more time and getting it up to 1.85 v. The PCChips mobo (M848ALU) I've got can't up voltage via BIOS so you have to do it manually by the wire trick. I'm aiming for an ideal clock of 2.4ish if possible; I've seen others running at that range. Should I try it? Thanks.
 
As long as you don't mind replacing the chip in a few months, sure, go for it. Your memory might not be able to run that fast either, it will be running at 384 DDR. Peace.

Edit for Zebo: It may be a thoroughbred or palomino. It runs 12.5 multiplier and 133MHz FSB default for 1666MHz and has 256KB cache.
 
thoroughbred for sure, palomino cant clock that high from 1.67 Ghz, or maybe he's just got a very luckey chip.
 
t-bred for sure 🙂 thats what i'm running- tho with my a7v8x and 512mb PC3200 i cant POST much over 2.1-2.2ghz, thats with my current 1.675v setting- don't want 2 crank it much higher as it gets really hot with stock HSF- running at a comfortable 2600+ these days- other than scraping that max 3dmark score, or an extra fps pushing it harder won't really help with my day to day IE, word, adobe and wmp/winamp 🙂
