View Full Version : athlon 700/asus k7v help
i recently got into the oc thing, and im not sure if i can pencilwhip my proc or not. i checked quite a few forums, and theres not much info on it. everyone seems to be into the durons now. ive upped the fsb to 107 mhz, dropped the vcore to 1.55, and its @753. i cant get any higher. i dont know how to change the multipliers. anyone know how i might go about getting more speed out of this?
I have a700a /K7V mobo. I took the cover off and bought a GFD from northwind. I've got it clocked @ 1120mhz. Here are my specs:
jumperfree mode
Bios ver. 1008c
FSB 112
Vcore 1.85
L2 Cache divisor @ 1/3
PC133 cas2 256 ram @ 149mhz (high quality)
GFD multiplier @ 10X and voltage @ 1.85
300w PSU
Alpha HSF P7125T
Leadtek GF2 GTS pro video
3Dmark 2000 scores in 7800 range
Lot's of help over @ www.K7V.com
:)

On athlons FSB above 107MHz is very rare, it's the design witch doesn't allow much overclocking.
Just some info on the CLASSIC athlon (that's what you have), so no thunderbird or duron. There are no peciltricks for your CPU, they only apply to the other mentioned AMD CPU's. Also no multiplyer settings in the bios. Only thing possible there is FSB adjustment (like you've discovered yet). Don't mistake your CPU with an thunderbird, only RAISING voltage increases stability. But mind your temps and don't go above 50°C.
If you really want to do it good, you can change your multiplyer by hardware. A goldfingerdevice is used, which you can plug on the debug-port on your CPU, which is hidden under the black cover. This device allows you to set your multiplyer and get all the potential out of your core. I've done it with my athlon 500 (1.6V), first with a GFD to 750 (1.7V) and 45°C, then to watercooling 1.8V (~30°C) and 800MHz, can do 850 with lower cache.
For some more info see the homepage, or follow www.k7v.com or so. If you have any questions, just let me know! Succesfull OC'ing
