OCing Ancient P3

[videogames101]

Ok, I've got a Pentium 3 at 1.4ghz sitting on an ASUS P2B-F mobo. Radeon 7000 AGP at 2x, an ISA soundblaster soundcard, lol.... it has 3 ISA slots. and a fairly new psu. Does anybody have info on how to oc this ancient comp?

1.4 is the fastest they made for P3, I believe. I doubt you will be able to get much more than a couple hundred mhz out of it... hardly worth it.

No, this is gojng to be my way of finally breaking this thing, i'm pushing it beyond reasonable limits. So can someone tell me how? unfamiliar with the bios

If I recall that generation it's just a matter of overclocking the FSB, which will also push the other busses (PCI, ISA?) and could screw up those components (days before locking the PCI bus etc).

Try it at 1.8GHz if you want to break it hehe.

I was able to OC my 1000Mhz P3 to 1250Mhz by increasing the FSB to 125Mhz.

FSB can not be found in cmos/bios setup stuff. I would have tried that if I could see that option. Any other names it would be under?

P2B used motherboard jumpers for the FSB, I assume the -F did too.

Why not put this in FS/FT for $20 instead of intentionally ruining it? (No not for me, I already have 3 spare P3 motherboards )
