This is my first time to post something here. I have a ASUS K7V with the final version of the BIOS (1007) and a classic 850 MHz Athlon with 512K cache running at 340 MHz (2/5 of the core) and 512 megs of PC133 Memory. I am using a heatsink that has duel fans on it. I have another large fan at the bottom of the case, the powersupply fan (300 Watt) and the video cards fan (not to useful for overclocking the main proc, hunh) - that's 5 fans total. I would like to know the easiest and safest way to overclock my Athlon proc without any extra cooling. Like what should I set the mulitplier to and how to do it and what voltage setting I should use. Stuff like that. What would be a good stable speed I should overclock to? Any ideas? Thanks for your time.

I do not know how much slot A processrs can take.....the highest u would get would be 1ghz since thats where amd stoped gonig higher...the multiplyer way u have to crack open the cpu case and stick on the overclocking device u can make one u can buy one on ebay if they still sell them.... or u can do the FSB but everthing overclocks and u have less chance of succeding becuase ugot PCI agp and mem that are all going outa of SPEC.... well i wish u good luck o/c in any way u choose :)

u need to crack open your cpu case.......stick a better cooler(with thermal grease) and a gold finger device that enables u to change multipliers and set L something cache divider.......that's what i heard from people

Contact me by ICQ I know a guy who's selling a GFD that allow to set the multiplier up to 10.5, VCore up to 2.05V, and set L2 Ratio.

I have the same Cpu on one of my computers and an Abit KA7-100.:D
