Overclocking a TBird 1000 w/ A7V

[Abrasive]

What is the best way to overclock the subject. I know about drawing the L1 so it's closed. But what about the voltage and crap. Write it up like you would for a idiot. I want it to be around 1400. Just a little info to go on, it's a AXIA 9. Thanks.

Umm i also have a A7V and looking for a 1ghz tbrid... was yours the 100/200 or 133/266 version? and what revision is your motherboard mine is 1.01 becuase i wana see what your capible of with your board....but if your mulitplyer is unlocked change it to 10.5 or 11 and keep going up till it wont post then bump up the voltage till it does....then go in windows and bench with prime95 if that lockes up bump up the voltage one notch more..till it can run it for more then 20min straight then u found a sweet spot...if yours is 266 version ur multiplyer is going to be hard so go up by 0.5 each time good luck :) :) :)

my a7v manual has the max multiplier at 12.5x. and the kt133 chipset will make 110mhz fsb if you're lucky, so that puts the max attainable speed at 12.5*110=1375mhz. if you have an axia and a good psu, that's not too impossible! if yours is an axia, i'd bump the multiplier straight to 12.5x and see what happens, and move down if you have to. when it's stable at 100mhz fsb and whatever multiplier, start playing with the fsb to see how high you can get it.

good luck! hope you get a good oc!

proze if u dont mind what revision do u have? since i can only get i think 107 or 109FSB at stock multiplyer of 7x
stable not stable in windows

my board is revision 1.02, so it has multiplier adjustment capabilities. i think the 1.01s, like yours, have onboard sound but no multiplier dipswitches... bummer.

as for the fsb, i can also get to 107mhz tops, but i have a mate at university whose rev1.02 a7v hits 110mhz easy.

I also have an early A7V, I don't remember which revision, I can get any multiplier out of mine, although it's still limited to 110MHz FSB. The problem you'll have will be the issue of the limited FSB. If you have a "B" chip (100/200 FSB), you should have no problem getting to 1.2 or above, possibly approaching 1.4G. However, if you have a "C" chip (133/266 FSB), then you'll have to unlock the L1 bridges to be able to set the multiplier to achieve the maximum speed the chip is capable of.

GOOD LUCK!
