How do you overclock an Athlon Thunderbird?

YEah right smart my ass you didn't even answer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have a slot on this webiste they only explain SOCKET you dumb .....
So how do you do IT>????
You got me mad.
 
well the way i did it was i bought a gfd...got my 700 to a gig...i dont know if the pencil trick works for the slot ones....if you find out how..i would love to know
 
Use an HB pencil (as listed above).

A GFD is a card that lets you adjust the multiplier settings of the chip, just as an HB pencil will now.
 
GFD: Gold Finger Device. Basically little gizmos that pulled into the 'golden fingers' of SlotA Athlons, allowing for multiplier adjustment. I think voltage adjustment was on some of too..

The pencil trick does not apply to a slot A Tbird which is what fits in a K7M motherboard. Pull the cover off the cartridge just like it was an Athlon classic and install a GFD. I run my slot A Tbird 900@1100 in a K7M by setting my home made GFD to 10X and the FSB to 110Mhz in Bios. I bumped core voltage to 1.85 using the jumpers on the board. For purposes of overclocking just pretend you have a slotA Athlon classic.
