Overclocking Athlon 700

[grr8scott]

I have the following setup, and this is my first venture into OC'ing and Athlon CPU.

Chaintech 7ATA Mobo
Athlon Slot A CPU
Golden Orb
Maximaizer GFD
KingstonValueram PC133 128 megs.

Anyone know exaclty what to do, and how to push this thing to get the max out of it?

LMK!

Thanks in advance!

It's easy...First remove the case around the chip if you have not done so already. Then add your GFD onto the "golden fingers". I would start slow, 1st I would set the GFD to your default speed and voltage and boot up, if everthing works fine, then go up by 50mhz at a time and leave voltage at the default speed. Keep upping the multiplier and then boot up until you lock up. Then I would back down the multiplier by 50mhz then start upping the voltage by .5 until you get stability...I wouldn't go much higher the 2.0v. If your lucky to get past 850 you're gonna have to then change the L2 cache divider. since your boards does not support cache divider change in the bios, you will have to get some kind of cache changing program..go HERE to get one...
If you have any questions please feel free to contact me...good luck

Here are two links to case removal. You don't have to remove the heatplate.
