overclocked abit kt7a and duron, your thoughts

[lapdog]

I have a duron 800 8x100-33=800mhz I tryed to unlock it but could not see well so, but any way i went 8x133-33=1.07ghz and uped my volts from 1.6 to 1.85 and all is well but is this a safe setting for a duron? what kind of temp should I get right now it reads 28c that cant be right? being that setting is 8x133-33 no agp pci devices are overclocked right? Would pc be faster if i used a setting to over clock pci say to 40 or so? If chip is unlocked can you use lower multi's 7 or 7.5

Your voltage is safe, but your temp looks strangely low. What type of HS/F do you have on your CPU... also what bios are you using. My Duron600@1050 is running @42C when idling. Your pci and agp should be fine if you're using the 1/2 and 1/4 dividers. Most pci buses probably couldn't handle much over 40mhz. Last but not least, you can use lower multipliers to unlock. I would reccomend just using a .5 mechanical pencil to unlock it if you want to.

yes i as well think the temp is off im using a vantec hsf lapped with AC II, 2 80mm one in back blowing out and other at45 degree angle blowing over mobo, then for over kill 2 120mm first on top blowing out and second up front blowing in. there abit bios not to sure on 1/4 1/2 pci multi thow. will give pencil thanks

I doubt your temperatures are accurate. But, if you have good cooling going on inside the case, the voltage and everything should be safe. I'm running my 1.2GHz T-Bird at 1.474GHz with an Alpha PAL6036 and my motherboard monitor's reporting 62 C. after playing UT for about ten minutes.. Even though I think this is too high, I've never had any problems out of it.
