I'm not to good with overclocking but on my MSI KT4V-L with an Athlon XP 2000+, I can only achieve 140x12.5 no matter what setting the VCore is at.
I also can't change the multiplyer.
I bought the retail version of the Athlon XP 2000+ and am currently using it with the default heatsink and fan with Arctic Silver 3 Thermal compound.
My idle CPU temperature is 49 degrees and about 53 full load. Is my temperature stopping me from overclocking too far? Or is it the cpu chip that's not up to it?
I can get the FSB higher but not to a situation where my computer is stable enough to run things such as 3DMark.
Should I invest in a new heatsink and fan?
A new cpu chip?
Or both?
Please tell me your experiences as I used to own a KT3 Ultra 2 and recently upgraded for the use of 8x AGP and hopefully some increases in processor speeds. I was also only able to get 140x12.5 with my old board too.
I'm currently running it at 1753mhz, please post replies and thanks for reading!!
