XP Overclocking Trouble

[Inky45]

For some reason I cannot overclock my XP 1600 AGOIA-Y higher than 1.7 ghz. When I raise the clock speed any higher, Windows XP will not load, but I do not get any error screens, just a blank screen. When I lower the speed to 1.7 ghz then everything is perfectly stable. Right now I am at 170x10 at 1.775v. My chip will post at 170x10.5, but will not load Windows even when I increased the voltage. I know my chip can go higher than 1.7 because it will post at 1.85 ghz at 1.8v. Any help is appreciated.

what kind of cooling are you using? and whats your temps at?

[Inky45]

Swiftech MCXC370, idling at 30c, full load at 36c

Same thing at 175x10?

If you raise the voltage to 1.9 - 2.0V, you will get there but watch your temps.

Yes, same thing at 175x10. 174x10 will load Windows but is not stable. I'd really like to keep the voltage at 1.85 max since I'm on air cooling, but I'll see if 1.9v works.

I think you need at least 1.8v-1.85v to go any higher than you are now.
