OK..I've unlocked my Athlon AVIA Y (blue die) 1ghz chip, now what???

[etterjt]

I have the Abit kt7133a mobo and the gig t-bird. But what I want to know it basically what to do? I have these settings to play with

----------
Multiplier Factor
CPU FSB/PCI clock
FSB Plus

CPU settings:
core 1.75-1.85
I/O up to 3.9
----------

What would be the best thing to do. I have enough fans in my case to lift an airplane so I know coolings not going to be an issue. What's the best route to take to try to get the most out of my chip! BTW the chip is 200 FSB but ive heard you can run it on a 266 FSB true? Suggestions would be appreciated!! Thanks.

Dont change the fsb plus, that changes the fsb which is good if you can get a few more mhz out of your processor and your pci cards are holding you back. Start with your fsb at 133 and then get your multiplier to something like 7. Then move your fsb to as high as you can stably. Download something like folding@home or prime95 to test stability. Then, after you reach your max fsb change your multiplier until you get your highest speed, stably. Meanwhile you should definatly change your Vcore to 1.85 while your finding your speeds. After you have found a good stable speed you can try and lower your Vcore a little and see what it does. Your VIO can be run around 3.7 and that should be enough. You could experiment with higher, but I dont think it will help you much. Keep track of your temperature all the while your doing this. If VIA Hardware monitor reports higher than 55 then your are probably too high and need to back off on your speed and voltages. 50 degrees is a good safe rule of thumb, but if it seems to be running stable at 55 then that should be alright. What HSF are you using?
