Safe fsb

[PeteT]

Want to overclock an athlon 1.2, DDR (AMD 760 based). I've put the fsb in bios up from the default of 133 to 140. How high can I go SAFELY?

that is limited by your other components (pci cards, hard driver, ram) usually. If you have any older components you probably can't go much higher. Just go up 5mhz every 20 hours of use or so til it crashes. then go down by 1mhz til it's good. then after that you should take it down a few more mhz just to be safe.

Kelesh3 suggestion is the correct one. Works well.

Just to add on. U have to also bump up the vcore voltage to increase stability in O/Cing FSB.

don't forget the ddr voltage...(assuming your board allows it)
