Ive had my tbird 800 for about 6 months and so far the highest ive been able to OC it is @ 950 1.85 vcore. Im using a Taisol CGK742 and Arctic Silver. It will post at 1 Ghz but I cant get any further than the bios screen. Its green core if that makes any difference. Does anybody have any tweaks to squeeze a few more volts outta my A7V to hit 1Ghz Stable??

I have the 800 tbird on an A7V as well. When I first tried to overclock it after unlocking the processor, I could only get to 900 and no more. I tried overclocking the FSB to see if I could get the processor over 900 that way, and it worked. So I assumed that I had not done a good enough job unlocking with the pencil trick. I re-penciled the connections with the aid of a credit card and I went over it real good. When I tried over clocking again I got up to 1GHz with just the multiplier. I haven't tried going any higher, I'm also at stock voltage and it's rock solid.
