Hi, I have an Asus P3V4x with a slotket for a p3 700mhz. The bios has settings for the multiplyer, fsb, and voltage. The slotket has settings for the fbs and voltage. If I want to oc this cpu, which settings do i play with? Right now i'm just using the bios and I am only able to get up to 800mhz.

Thanks
 
FSB times Multiplier = CPU speed; for example

166 times 11 = 1826 (standard Barton cpu from AMD)

So you would want to adjust both. Many prefer a higher FSB instead of higher multiplier (more bandwith)


If you have trouble being stable at higher speeds, then you would up the voltage in hopes of obtaining stability (watch temps, don't wanna fry that cpu).

If your board doesn't have agp/pci locks, you may have problems when OCing as your agp/pci speed will also climb possibly resulting in instability
 
Fern is pretty much correct in what he said although I believe the multiplier is locked on all retail Intel CPU's so the only thing you'll be able to change is your front side bus.
