AMD Athlon Xp 2000+

[pcmunkey]

I would like to overclock this processor from 1.67 ghz to 1.8-1.9 ghz.

It currently runs at about 106 degrees f on full max load.
Idle it is about 97
I have been told they are safe to about 130 or so.
So i figure, as long as i keep it under that, then i have nothing to worry about.

I have never overclocked anything before, please tell me how.

I have a:
Soyo KT400 Dragon Ultra Black Edition Motherboard
VIA Kt400+Vt8235 Chipset
Amd Athlon XP 2000+ Processor


Thanks for any help in advance

Please keep in mind that i have never overclocked anything before, and I would like an Idiots step-by-step manual to overclocking it.

I have a lot of computer knowledge, but overclocking is something i know nothing about.

Thanks

if u do a simple google search you will find enoguh info on it to fill a warehouse. all you realy need to do to overclock is up your FSB as far as you can go untill it is stable. what kind of memory do u have? if u dont have at least 2700 than you need to pic up some faster ram.

PS there is plenty of stuff on www.overclockers.com just look atound a bit.

I have 2100....ram

[pcmunkey]

Thanks, I overclocked it to 1875 mhz....about 200 mhz more....i tried higher, but no video, i had to clear the cmos

[pcmunkey]

Its running at about 105 idle, and 109 max load.....and 106 under normal use, I also upped the voltage to 1.61

[pcmunkey]

is there any way i can make it faster and get video...:P

I know when I upped the FSB, i also upped the voltage again...
Maybe if i keep the voltage at 1.61v, and up the fsb another notch?

[altec]

What FSB frequence are you trying to attain? Pretty soon that 2100 is going to crap out due to it's low spec speed.

[pcmunkey]

its a 2000....
I think its running @ 150-166, ill check in a min, after this d/l is done

[pcmunkey]

I have it setup, running stable, with good temp at 2.083 GHZ!!

It runs at 109-113 degrees F!
