Overclocking a Athlon 750 ! How high can I go?

[RC159]

Here's what I got:
Asus K7M
Slot A Athlon 750
PC133 256 meg memory
Standard Cooling
Just got my GFD in and Im ready for some OC'ing!
Can someone tell me what the best settings are (multiplier & fsb)
and how high should I be able to get it with the standard cooling?
Thanks in advance!

Here it comes. All cpu's are different nobody can tell you what you cpu can run at and at what voltage, etc. The only way to find out is to try it for yourself, or get a pretested cpu.

most Durons usually stop performing stabily around 1000 mhz or 1100 mhz. (At least that is what I have been told).

You're not going to do much unless you change the L2 cache division ratio, either by soldering or software.

I have an old Athlon 750 @ 950 Mhz With a goldfinger adaptor, runs stable with a slight voltage bump nd good cooling. It makes a real nice second gaming system.

My brother has also a 750MHz Athlon Slot A and he has it overclocked to 10x102= 1020MHz via a GFD. He used MAthlon to lower the cache's speed to reach that speed. Without the software he could run 950MHz. It's a pretty nice system...

Wow Richardito!! How hot does your Duron run at that speed?

Well, I am using WPCREdit from H. Oda to set the 52 register to EB. This helps my idle temperature, which is currently about 28-31ºC. The max temperature the CPU has seen is 52ºC while running with 2.2v. If I run the CPU @ 1050MHz with 2.1v the temperature doesn't even reaches 50ºC. The nice thing is that I'm not using watercooling, but my 2 Deltas are noisy!!
