I have a 1.6v 1700XP+ with a rev 1.0 K7S5A and was wondering if i cut the L3 bridges on the CPU would there be anything else i would need to mod (such as the motherboard) or would that be sufficient for an overclock? I can softclock it to 1900-2000 (i haven't gone much further) and tho many ppl prefer FSB o/c's i have several older PCI hardware cards and my 2100 ddr memory is a couple years old and probably doesn't have the headroom for o/ci'ing as would newer mem. I understand that i would have to mod the voltage if i went much higher but i was thinking 1900-2000 ranged (i supposed probably 1.5-2x multipliers higher)
Does this sound doable and should i go about this a certain way? Once you cut the bridge is 'cut' so how can i test the CPU's 'true' capacity beforehand given the limitations of my board and components? Or should i just be content with a modest 2000 or so o/c? I have a very nice fan so heat shouldn't be a problem at all.
