New CPU: raise voltage trouble

[Hans]

I'm trying to overclock an Athlon 1000 and not mess it up as I did with a Duron 700.

With the Duron, I raised the board voltage to max using jumpers and set the multiplier as high as it would go right away. Also FSB.

I got 945 for a while, then after several months it would hold 926, then I started getting loads of data corruption that came back even after a reformat.

So I want to do it right this time.

I am trying the jumperless setting on the Asus A7v board, as I read that the first step is to raise the voltage.

It won't stick if I raise it in the bios. I have to manually reboot and am back at the bios with default settings.

The FSB goes up ok though, but I should keep it at 100 for now?

In short: I don't know how much to raise the voltage, in what increments it should be raised, or how to raise it without going to the manual jumper settings.

Or, how long to use raised voltage before setting the multiplier up; should this be raised incrementally as well?

FSB last I'm fairly sure about.

The whole idea that this can be done in a step by step fashion is new to me.

Thanks,

Hi Hans
1. see if you can RMA the Duron to AMD.
2. burn in that guy before setting everything on max!!
3. don't up the voltage until you can post! more volts=more heat.
4. is that chip a AXIA
5. check out ed's articles on the frontpage
6. HAVE FUN!

el,

2. How do I burn it in first?

3. I don't understand; I can post with the voltage at it's default setting right now. (1.50) When I try to raise it I can't start windows. So how do I up the voltage? Jumpers again?

4. I don't know. How do I find out? What is an AXIA?

5. I read the overclockers guide to beginners. I'll go back and check everything there.

6. The fun never stops when you are messing around with a computer running out of spec.

el,

2. How do I burn it in first?You set it at the stock speed and then set the voltage as high as it goes and play some games or run Folding@Home

3. I don't understand; I can post with the voltage at it's default setting right now. (1.50) When I try to raise it I can't start windows. So how do I up the voltage? Jumpers again?
I am not sure about your board but according to what you say i would do it with the jumpers.
4. I don't know. How do I find out? What is an AXIA? Well u have to take off your heatsink and you read the second line on the Die of the CPU and see if it says AXIA

5. I read the overclockers guide to beginners. I'll go back and check everything there. It is your bible

Yup
