athlon 900@998 whats ur 900@?

[Incarnated666]

I have seen stories of phenomenal overclocking 400mhz and even more. My problem is I just don't see how. My athlon is at 9.5x105 @ 33degrees. If I try to go any higher at all it just freezes ip. My cooling is not a problem(unless you ask my wife about the hurricane inside the computer noise). I would like to hear how other people have their computer setup so I may be able to get some ideas of what I can do.

if you inform us as to your system specification we may be able to advice you as to where you are going wrong, but going by your low FSB the problem may be that you have either a mobo or RAM that is limiting your FSB. In order to get high overclocks you need a fast FSB.. a lot of people here run a FSB of 140 mhz upwards, myself included and I run a Duron 800 @ 1050

Ive got a 300w power supply a FIC A11e motherboard an athlon 900@1.9v--9.5x105 fsb and plenty of cooling and 1x256 mg pc133 and 1x128 mg pc 133 even if I lower the multiplier the FSB wont boot over 105

check the cpu database.

get cpufsb and if you drop the multiplier you should be able to get107 or 110 with the 9x clock multiplier , I have gotton mine to 1100 but not stable at all , I have never done anything with the voltage to see if I could get it higher , I can get 1050 with just the multiplier and no fsb above default , but now its at 1000 105x9.5 , I like performance more then just mhz, what is your processor code , mine has an awful stepping , its not that great

My TB is running at 1017, that's a 113 bus. It will go to a 115 bus but reboots very occasionally. I only have a 250 Watt PSU so until a new one arrives I will stick at 1017.
