first off. what type of mobo do you have? did you overclock via the multiplier of FSB..or both?

Welcome to the forums KnifeBoy :)

Got any more info you can give us? Temperatures, voltage settings, multiplier and fsb etc... if, like mrpcman suggested you're trying to oc by the fsb it could be something like memory or the mobo chipset stopping you getting higher.

It appears that you're running at the default multiplier, 10.5, with the FSB at 140 MHz. To test for the maximum overclockability of your CPU, increase the multiplier to 11 and reset the FSB to 133 MHz and try running at 1463. Then move the FSB up in the smallest increments your motherboard provides. You will need to increase the core by at least 0.1V to get anywhere. Good cooling is a must, so do this testing with the cover off the case. Once you get as high as you can, reduce the multiplier and see if you can get the same speed at a higher FSB. Keep the memory timings at default. After you get to the highest speed you can with FSB as high as possible, try more aggressive memory timings for better performance.

cpu temp=32 celcius
10.5 x 140 (1470)

wut other info u need o.0~

uhh is it the 'insert' key u press if u fail to overclock?

do u mean the cpu vcore voltage u told me to increase by 0.1v?

it goes....
-0.1v
-0.75v
-0.50v
-0.25v
0.00v <----current
+0.25v
+0.50v
+0.75v
+0.1v

so i should set the voltage to max?
