Hello,
New to oc'ing and was posting to clear up a few questions.
First I'd like to know what I should expect for oc'ing potential with my system.
Here's my humble rig
cpu=xp2100+ palomino
mobo=soyo dragon ultra kt400 (black edition)
ram=3x128 PC2100 Infineon (looking to upgrade to ocz pc3200)
psu=most likely junk, came with maxtop case 350w
hsf=stock amd (looking to upgrade to sk-7 with smart case fan II)
case=maxtop w/4 case fans
vid=ati radeon 9600 pro
Right now I have it oc'ed to 1.82ghz. The fsb is set to 140 with a multiplier of 13, it runs stable and fairly cool under load (42-45c). I've upped the fsb to 145 (vcore set to 1.850) and it'll eventually hang. Is this limit becuase of my ram? Or is the fsb limit 140 leaving my only option to unlock the cpu and upping the multiplier? Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated.
I realize I need to get better cooling before I go any farther.
Thank you in advance.
