Stuck at 750

[kahn]

Alright there,
I have a k7600mtr51b a, with serial no. 230002560614, an Asus k7m (bios rev 131) an innovotek td2 goldenfingers device and a vos32 cooler. It is overclocked to 750 and it is solid as a rock, but as soon as i try to go further than that even by upping the fsb by 1mhz it will not post, it will not post setting the multiplier past 7.5 either I am using k7l2dos to change the l2 cache divisor to 2/5 else it will not load windows at 750.
I can bring up the fsb in windows using softfsb so it runs at 795 but it is very unstable - as i am not experienced with a soldiering iron i don't fancy soldiering the cache divisor on the pcb.
If anyone has any ideas please let me know.

make sure that you do infact have enough voltage and cooling. if that dosn't work try a burn in program(i atached a burner program to this, bottom right)

cheers for the burner, i have used sisoft sandra 2001 pro burn-in test and it runs fine at 750, i will try that burner now - the voltage is 1.65v, i have tried it at 1.7 and 1.75 but it still won't get past 750, I'm tempted to remove the heatplate to see what core I have but I think it is a 600 anyway.
I'm gonna get some of that arctic silver thermal paste tommorow as I am just using the stuff that came with the vos32, I'll see if that makes any difference but I doubt it, the vos32 is pretty good at cooling.
