First overclocking attempt 2.4ghz-->2.88ghz... need help for more!

[Flakk]

I have a pentium 4 2.4-B chip and I have it running stably at 2.88ghz by raising the FSB to 160.

I tried going to 165fsb but the system just barely freezes on booting.. I can tell it's not as bad each time when I raise the vcore by .0125, and got the vcore to 1.5375 (still locks up but noticebly less so if that makes sense).. I didnt know how safe it is to go with the vcore. I dont want to burn the chip up. About what should I take it to and still be safe?

Any other recommendations? This is my very first overclocking attempt (altho I have been working with computers for over 10 years)

anything @ 1.7 and above is bad imo. Raising your Core Voltage above 1.7V on a P4 is risking the health of the CPU.

check out some of the p4p800 threads in the motherboard sections as there may be optimal settings you may want to use when running "b" chips (533fsb) on these i865/i875 mobos...
