XP 1600+ AGOIA 0213, how far will it go?

[BZeto]

I have an locked AMD Athlon XP 1600+ AGOIA 0213 running at 1.75 Ghz, w/ default voltage (166 fsb). Its air cooled and runs at 36C idle and 44 C load. It'll run Prime95 for 24 hours easy. I was just wondering how much further could I push it? I'm not interested in unlocking it so I guess my only option is to raise the FSB. I have an Epox 8K5A2+ mobo with a 1/5 divider. So once I go past 166mhz fsb I know my AGP and PCI buses will be thrown off a bit.

So how should I go about reaching over 1.8 ghz?

if you're not gonna unlock the only thing you cna do is push up the fsb and increase the voltage....

You should be able to get over 1.8 GHz pretty easily. Just turn up the FSB, test it, and if it crashes then increase the voltage. I'm running 175 x 10.5 for 1.85 GHz with 1.825V and I have a 8K5A2 (not +). I heard there's a new bios for the 8K5A2+ that might help with overclocking. I can't tell you what it does because I can't use it on my board 🙁
