Help with 1900+ oc

[EvanB]

I have a 1900+, a abit kr7a-133, and 512 ddr 266 ram. I dont have the stock cooling on there, i have a thermaltake dragon or something. Anyway, I have seen people say they can get it to at least 2 ghz, but i havent been able to get it above 1.8. I am definently new to this, so any help would be appreciated. Specifically, where should i start, as in which settings? All of the memory timings and things confuse me. Thanks for the help in advance.

what voltage and multiplier you using ?

what matters most is what stepping. some steppings are very very lousy, and you'll be pissing in the wind trying to ovreclock.

I am using the default multiplier, and the voltage is also default, I think it is 1.65. As to stepping, I have no idea what that is.

you have to loook at the chip. overclockers.com and its forums has info on steppings. use google as a shortcut. 1.65v? doesn't sound good.

Do you have a palomino or a T-Bred? Download Aida32 and find out what kind of cpu it is. It'll also tell you whether it's stepping A or B if you have a T-Bred.
