Need a little help?

[Gordo24]

I bought a T-Bird 900 and have overclocked it to a 1Gig. Currently I have the voltage set up to 1.80. When I try to go over a Gig it boots me off the OS. I figured that I could get a little more out of the processor than just an extra 100Mhz. I am using the Fop38 socket cooler with artic silver, and it is running pretty cool. Would like some other suggestions if there are any.Thanks

Either you have reached the limit of your ram or your power supply is too small,it should be at least 250 but 300+ is better.Try corsair or mushkin memory........you might also want to delay transaction and bump cas latency and precharge timings up. Hope this helps!

It could just also be that your cpu has hit its limit. You may want to try 1.85V, but i'm not sure how much more you'll get out of it.

As good as AMD chips are at o/c, there are still the ones that don't overclock much. Just bad luck of the draw, maybe.
