Need help overclocking to 1500Mhz!!!

[Intellio]

Hello,

I have an 1.33 Athlon Thunderbird and a Microstar K7T Turbo motherboard.
I wanted to try getting to 1500 but how should I best accomplish this?
Is setting the clock ratio to 150 and the multiplier to 10x a good idea??
Is it bad for my processor setting it at 150? (it said in the bios 166 was the maximum)
I never did this overclocking thing so know not all too much about it. Can anyone explain to me how the voltage adjustments work. How can you tell how many Mhz your computer will increase when adjusting the voltage.

Is there a better way to get to 1500 round. Combination of the three maybe (clock ratio, multiplier, voltage)

Thx for any help anyone can give me on this one

It really isn't necessary to ask us for permission. You obviously seem to know what multiplier, voltage, and front side bus settings are, and by reading the motherboard manual you'll know how to adjust them.

For everyone, from veterans to newcomers, overclocking is still a test of trial and error. Just mess around with your cofigs, see what's stable, and run with it.

And before anyone says otherwise, as long as you set up your components properly, you cannot kill your hardware through simple adjusting your multiplier, voltage, or front side bus. You may not get it to boot, but clearing your BIOS will take care of that problem.

<< you cannot kill your hardware >>

of course you can't

I cannot get past 143MHz with my Asus A7V133, i think only newer revisions of the KT133a can do that. But 143*10.5 =150^0 are not bad after all!

There are different philosophies on how to test how far your system will overclock. Some people set thier multipliers for the target frequency and set the voltage for maximum, and if the system works then decrease the voltage until just before the system becomes unstable. Some would inch thier way up at 50MHz or 100MHz at a time while increasing the voltage until the computer becomes stable at each frequency setting. Either way the idea is to keep the voltage at the lowest stable setting, so your chip pulls less power thus staying cooler.
