recommended o/c for 1ghz Athlon

[idea]

i have an abit kt7, 1ghz athlon, and some kinda hsf that spins at 7000rpm. what do you think i could get out of it, without sacrificing system stability at all. (i'm not looking for 5ghz and an absolute zero cooling setup)

Unless you 1 ghz Athlon has been multiplier unlocked, your Mobo will seriously hold you back. The original KT7 could only hit 106-108 fsb, so you will be limited to 1060 to 1080 on your overclock.

have any docs to explain this "unlock" thing?

and what if it is all ready unlocked? i did happen to buy it used, from a guy who included a 7000rpm fan... i don't think he would need a fan this noisy if he wasn't overclocking

Do a search under "pencil trick". There are tons of articles out there describing how to unlock your athlon using a simple No. 2 pencil.

thanks for the tips -- still need the recommended settings to overclock tho

bump~

plz!

depends on how good the heatsink is
try for 1.2 then 1.3 if that works then 1.4
just experiment with all kinds of speeds/settings till yur as fast as you can get while still 100% stable
stress test the system after each increment and watch the temps for an idea of where your at
up the voltage when needed


good luck

Depends on the Steppings of the Square (CPU)...if it an AXIA or an AY with Y on the 2nd line and 100FSB then you can prolly just crank it up to 133+ FSB if it's locked and cause you seem to have decent cooling ...

Edit= After reading AkumaX post I realize that you have a KT133 chipset which means you won't runn stable above 110 MHz so increasing the multipliers would be your only choice

 

[AkumaX]

you have a KT7

your athlon is at 10 x 100

you can probably go to 10.5 x 100 or 11 x 100

if you're lucky you can go to 12 x 100 or more

your vcore is at 1.75v

you can go as high as 1.85v if your heatsink will cool it enough

on my a7v the highest fsb i coudl get was 107
but even with mult my cpu maxxed out at 1200 (100x12)

granted it was a 200fsb chip...not a good stepping eitehr (axha i believe it was)
