Overclocked 1.4 AMD Athlon

[Paul.K]

This is my first overclocking experience. I have an AMD athlon t-bird 1.4Mhz @1.51 and it feels good to get this extra bit of power from it. My settings is 11X by 137FSB. THe system is really stable. Its been like this for several days now.....my system rocks! My ambient temp is 35C and my idle temp 39-41C and load is 41-45C. Is this good. How high you think I can take this birdy! See details below.

My system spec is below

AMD Athlon-TBird 266 FSB 1.4 @1.51 (11X by 137FSB)
ThermalRight sk6
256 Cruicial PC133 Cas2
IWill KK266Raid mobo
SoundBlaster 5.1 player
ELSA G-Force2 Ultra
etc.

Sounds like 1.6 Ghz is possible if you maxed out your voltages and did a little burning in.

WOW! your temp is low! I had an ATHLON 900/100 @1050/10.5x100and it ran at 38deg under load w/air cooling. I now have a 1.2 and I am scared to O/C it because it runs at 52deg Keeping it as cool as you are, you should be able to get it a little higher....especially w/the IWILL board. Have you tried 140 as a FSB? My Iwill can go upto 162 FSB w/o voltage mods...of course its not stable@52deg but I think it would be if it was cooler
