what kind of lead should i use for duron 700 for overclocking purposes???

[breaka504]

i have a kt7a motherboard and a 700 mhz duron with 256 mb ram... i heard that if i connect the L1 bridges together ... with lead... it will be overclockable... but i was wondering ... if the different lead matters... hb, 2b, 3b??? also... any ill effects when done???and what kind of speed should i expect??

I think the darker the lead the better it will be, yes you connect the L1's, you might have to replace them every 2 months or so..not sure
as for overclcoking it depends which code it has, i have a 600mhz AKBA and that overclocks pretty well.
This Might Help
good luck

EDIT: sorry put a wrong link to athlon codes instead of duron

breaka504: i have overclocked a dozen Durons and Athlons by using the "pencil trick." Don't try to make it more complicated than it is. I use whatever 0.5mm mechanical pencil I happen to have handy at the moment. I have a 700 Duron that's been running stable at 1083GHz (10.5*103) for over 6 months and I haven't replaced or touched up the lead even once.

thanks... i am gonna oc it today... i am getting performance test 4 right now to benchmark the comp before and after... i'll keep ya' posted... thanks... for the link too...

well...just did the oc ... and its running at 900mhz... (9.0 x 100) i tried at 10x but it wont boot... so.. i'll keep it here... and test the stability... and later max out the fsb... laters...

Good going! You're on your way!

WOW! Nice job!

Keep us posted on the fsb speed.

Yup, would also like to throw in my piece..

I've been using this Duron 700 for about 5 months now, it runs stable on 8.5 x 110 = 935mhz. I used a mechanical pencil with HB lead, as i find 2B flake easier and its harder to make a fine line that small. Btw, congrats!! I bet if u chuck on a better HSF you can break the 1Ghz mark!

I swear by my Deluxe Overclockers Pencil. Best product I've ever used.
