Overclocking AOpen AX63 Pro

[malicedoom]

Hello. I recently moved to the AOpen AX63 Pro Apollo Pro 133 Slot-1 ATX board (using a PIII 500MHz chip with 128MB 133MHz memory) and would like to start overclocking the board. I am not sure how to do this. I don't want to go too insane to start, but would like to "push" the board a bit. It currently has all the basic (turbo) settings. I am using the Diamond Viper V550 16MB AGP board. Can anyone provide suggestions on what settings I should change to overclock the board (should I overclock the FSB and the AGP, etc.?). Thanks in advance for any help!

The only thing you can realy overclock with the ax63 pro are the fsb speed, which will effect your cpu's operating speed and your memory speed. These settings are manipulated from within the bios. I suggest you start at default voltage and work your FSB up untill your system becomes unstable but still boots, try adding a little more voltage if that makes the chip stable you can then increase the fsb higher still. Do this untill you reach the max you are willing to set your core voltage, find the highest stable speed at that voltage, and enjoy. The quick refrence guide has the possible fsb and voltage settings listed on it. It also tells how to switch between diffrent fsb ranges. The ax63 pro will keep your agp and pci bus running within a 1/2-1mhz of spec untill you get up over 140 mhz fsb so thats not somthing to worry about.

I had this board with a 550E processor PC100 memory and could get it to run at 150Mhz FSB! However, it was not stable at this speed, it did however run at 133-146 quite stable.
