Hi,

I own an AMD Athlon Thunderbird 1Ghz bus 266 mhz, the Mobo A7V133 from Asus and a CPU fan that can handle a CPU until 1.3Ghz, and i'd like to know a "safe" overclock for my CPU since i'm a newbie on this area. What are the settings that i've to select for the Multiplier, the Frequency and for the VCore?

I apreciate if anyone could help me 🙂
 
You can try 120mhz FSB and 10x multiplier. That is a good start. Try to leave the vcore alone. Up the vcore by .05v when it becomes unstable. If you can get 120mhz FSB, try 125mhz and gradually up the FSB until the CPU gets unstable. You can use programs like SETI@home to test cpu stability. You can also loop Quake3 and 3dmark to test stability.
 
Since you have the A7V133 use a 10 multiplier with 133 bus speed. That will give you 1333MHz, if you have problems try 1200 with 9 x 133. Try to keep the bus speed at 133 at first (assuming you have PC133 RAM).
