Newbie Overclocking question

[shadowtech]

My system is: A7N8X deluxe, AMD XP 2700 Thoroughbred B, Corsair XMS Dual DDR 1024 total(2x512), GeForce 4 Ti4200 128Mb, Maxtor 120GB 8MB 7200Rpm, Lite-On 52-24-52, NEC DVD+RW 4x, 350Watt power supply.

I am looking to start tinkering in overclocking,,, anyone have the same or simular system with any setting suggestions that have worked stable?
Thanks in advance
William

Unfortunately, you aren't going to get much at all out of that 2700, unless it's an unlocked one. If it is unlocked, just lower the multiplier to around 11, and start raising the fsb. It should definitely do 200fsb, I would think, and it might go quite a bit higher. If it's locked, all you can do is raise the fsb, but you won't get very far at all, since the 2700 has such a high stock multiplier. Good luck, either way.

also depends on his revision on his mobo. my 1.4 wont get past 195 FSB.

Sorry, I have the same chip but not the same MOBO. With the Abit NF7 v 1.2 I could not get the FSB to run any higher than 180 with a multi at 12. I tried everything I could think off to get it to run, but nope. Now I have a NF7-S V2 and it ran out of the box 200*11. I am sure I can get it to go to 200*11.5, just have not tried it.

I know this is not much help for your situation, but thought I would tell you the chip can definitely do better than or at least 200.
