Overclocking a Tbird

I am going to buy a Tbird 850, Abit KT7(non-raid), 128 megs of muskin rev. 1.5 pc133 ram and a taisol cek733092 HSF. I want to overclock this processor to 1 ghz. Will this be difficult to do? I have NO overclocking experience, but from reading posts on this forum it seems fairly easy for an intermediate techie such as myself. Can someone please post detailed instructions on how I should go about this? I will print it out and be eternally greatful. (ok maybe not eternally but at least very greatful)

Thanks,
Ben
 
Hi Ben,
No it shouldn't be to hard , even if it has aluminum interconnects.
One thing though, monitor your cpu temp. The TBirds produce quite a lot of heat.
I have a 900MHz TBird now at 1016 Mhz it's an Aluminum one also.
Here are the settings in the BIOS you need to use to get the most out of your system :

Enhance chip performance Enabled
Force 4 way interleaving Enabled
Dram 4k-page mode Enabled
CPU L2 Cache ECC Checking Disabled
Bank Dram Timing Turbo
Dram Bank Interleaving 4-Way Enabled
Delay Dram Read Latch 0.5 ns
Sdram Cycle Length (CAS) 2
K7 CLK_CTL Optimal

BTW here is an EXCELLENT link from todays SharkyExtreme Athlon overclocking guide.

Connect your L1 bridges pics, enhanced 🙂

Hey, it also looks like you have the makings there of a "kick ass" system! 😀
