OCing a 850 Duron, any suggestions?

[tchybrid]

Hi, i'm currently overclocking a 850 duron to about 1062, 7.5 Multiplier and 141 FSB. these are my system specs:

850 Duron @ 1062 2.11v to core
Abit KT7A-Raid with Voltage Mod and blue orb on northbridge
Coolermaster HHC-001 Copper HS with Heatpipe Technology, 6800 RPM fan
512 Crucial pc133 7ns Ram
Radeon LE modded with Blueorb and ram sinks
SB PCI512
Generic/SohoWare 10/100 Nic
Enermax 431W PSU

idle temps at 37, Load is about 45-46, case temp is 18

now what i'm concern about is my 5v rail. Right now looking at MBM5, my 5v rail is at 4.91. what i'm trying to figure out is that, is this normal? I have alot of periferals also, 4 HDDs and a burner and cdrom. does anyone thing this will affect the power going into my duron since the 5v rail is so low?

Good O/Cing. Ur 5v rail is OK. Yeah, 5v rail drop when u push harder or when u add more components to ur box...but 4.91v is a good rail.

well at times it flucuates... like it goes from 4.91 to likr 4.88 then to 4.81... then back up... will i have a problem?

Most system suffered from stability w/ 5v rail dip below 4.5v. At 4.60v, stability normally returned. So, as long as ur system is stable, I say don't bother much.

My 5v rail is at about 4.7. 4.9 is fine. It looks like you got a good yield from your Duron. So did I; mine is an ANCA core. What's yours?
