OCing over 900MHz

[Rogue]

I've got my T-bird 750 set to 825 MHz easily right now. But whenever I go up above that my system begins to hang. I am using an Abit KT7-RAID right now and I need to know what to do within the BIOS to make this go a bit faster.

What is this I hear about core voltage and such? My apologies, but I am new to the OC scene.

Write ANYTHING you can think of to help me push the CPU higher.

In your BIOS you'll find a core voltage setting that goes up to 1.85V. You can max out at 1.85 quite safely, and hopefully you'll reach a gig.

Thanks a lot for the advice, Deviant...

Does anyone else have OCing suggestions for the KT7-RAID?

[Fenris]

Maybe you get a better OC result when you

1. as Deviant said, raise the voltage in small steps

2. and turn down the FSB

My TB800 runs stable @1000, but it didnt´t like a higher FSB with the multiplier 10. With a lower multiplier, I achieved a stable system @888MHZ(8x111).

just wait till the kt133A boards come
you will be running 1 gig but with a 133+FSB

seen these chipset running durons and t bird at 133mhz+

one gut had a t bird running on a 155FSB

well this is concerning the t-bird 900 oc @ 1040
wen first oc , the chip was very unstable
(10.5x100 @ 1.85 v core ) will not go 11 or above )
achieving 1.5 gig but with lockups from time to time running video applications, & frequently on boot 2 or 3 times out of 5 bootups (very annoying)
v core temp would reach 47 c , 48 c
so to achieve more stability went with
10x100 for 1 gig & left all other settings the same
less lockups & temps went down 44 c , 45 c
(still locked up though on start up ,about 1 time every 5 times i would boot which I hated)
so about 3 weeks later
I tried to go back up , with the fine tuning that abit bios allows
(cpu fsb + mhz setting)
stayed with 10 x 100 but pushed the cpu fsb + mhz setting up to 4 giving me 1040 mhz
also @ this time I was curios to c what would happen if I went back to the default v core (1.725)
which I did
so now I have 10x100 @ 1.725 v core & (cpu fsb plus
setting up to 4 default = 0) achieving 1040
with 39 c , 40 c & it hase'nt locked in video applications yet & it very, very rarely locks on startup,
like it was ! im very happy that this problem has went away because for a while I thought I was going to have to live with it as long as I had this cpu
I really think that possibly if I gave the chip a good burnin that 1.5 or maybe higher 1200 gig could be achieved
I have herd that others are having similar problems
locking up on boot (right @ the network password box)
so I hope this lil info will help some one out
good luck

O YA MOBO IS ABIT KT7 RAID
