My first overclock specs

I've finally managed to figure this out.

Specs:
Abit NF7-S rev2
2100+ (t-bred B)
- SK-7 with 80/35mm Vantec Tornado 85 cfm
1GB Corsair TWINX 3200 CL2
Sapphire Radeon 9800 Pro

Default:
266mhz FSB (1.6v)
400mhz mem (2.6v)
mult 13.0
default video

overclocked:
366mhz FSB (1.85v)
366mhz mem (2.6v)
mult 13.0
default video

Sandra recognizes the cpu as an XP 3006+! Yay!

As is, I'm getting 3Dmark2001 scores of 16450. And I have yet to oc the card. I could have gone higher with the FSB but I didn't want to push any more volts through. I was getting temps up to 44C with CPU burn-in. Probably because I screwed up the surface of the heatsink when I tried lapping it. The sandpaper was too coarse and I created deeper scratches. I should take it back off and buy some finer sandpaper to do it right. I'm also using Arctic Silver Ceramique.

I also need to tweak winXP pro to get rid of the junk processes. But not too bad for the first time, eh?
 
I dont think you should have any problem running that 2100+ at 200fsb. Your temps are still pretty good. Mine run at 42 idle, 47-48 load, 100% stable for weeks.
 
i would back off the cpu vcore a bit even if you have to clock it a tad slower
but yeah 200fsb is definately worth a try you might have to up the vdd and vdimm a bit but it'll be worth it
 
vdd is the chipset voltage and to run higher fsb's you need more of it!

🙂

but if you're running only 200 mhz fsb... i think the default should be fine..
