What's the most I can get out of my 1.1ghz Athlon?

[Shu8]

I don't really want to do the pencil trick because i don't know much about it yet. i'm using the heatsinc/fan that comes with the retail athlon [taisol cek733]. right now i'm running at 1210mhz [FSB=110, multiplier=11]. can i get any higher?

what if i did connect the L1 bridges...what's the max speed i could get?

also i'm going to upgrade my heatsinc/fan soon. i'm going to get the Alpha PAL6035 heatsinc and NMB 60mm [4200 RPM, 23 CFM, 32 dBA]. what speed do you think i could reach after buying that?

anyone??

You won't get any higher than that using FSB overclocking, unless you get a KT133A board. The one you probably have right now is based on the KT133 chipset, which won't go much higher than FSB 110 Mhz. Maybe 115, if you're lucky. Keep in mind, though, that you're overclocking most other components as well.
It's hard to say how far you'll get with multiplier overclocking, no chip is the same. Maybe 1.3 Ghz, I'd say. More if you're lucky.

Yeah, I've seen a fair number of people breaking the 1.25Ghz barrier with 1.1s - quite a few get past 1.3 as well..

Well, my Thunderbird 1.1GHz gives me rounding-off and other errors in Prime95 at 1200MHz (FSB 100x12) - even with 1.85 volts.

It seems to run OK otherwise, but as soon as it hits 53°C - Prime95 pukes. OEM from AMD heatsink/fan, KT7-RAID. (Is this typical, guys?)

You may want a better heatsink/fan combo.

I have my 1.1GHz @ 1275MHz at 1.85v with a Abit KTA-RAID. I only picked it up today so I have much more testing on it.

Well the video review is finished and the best OC for this CPU for me seems to be 1292MHz (9.5 x133 +3). Check my video at my site

Here is a site that has a nice CPU database. Just compare against the criteria that you select to see what others have domne with similar processors.
