this probably isnt what you're looking for but it's the best advice anyone can give you...READ. Read, read, and read some more. All the articles on overclockers.com are incredibly helpful. No one can see your setup and say, ok...do this this and this. I am relativley new to the whole scene, but do have some experience, and i can tell you the best way to learn about oc'ing is to try different things. If ya mess up, well you just learned something and won't do it again. Good luck to you, and let us know when you get that puppy to 1.5 :D

First of all welcome to the forums...

I agree with the post above u gotta read a lot and ask questions...
I read that the KT7 chipset wont go over 107> FSB stable... You could unlock your CPUs L1 bridges and then up the multiplier...
If you decide to connect the bridges read about it a lot or u can fry ur CPU if u don't do it right...

Good luck...

Welcome to the Forums !

Yes, It would really be the best to read all the beginners guides around, to give you some general view at the topic, then you can come back and ask as many "stupid" questions youi want and IŽll be glad to help you!

Have fun!

First of all, Welcome to the forums!

All of the above apply.

A good place to start in your quest for knowlege is right here at Overclockers.com. On the front page of this site you'll find the "Beginners Guide" there you will find a wealth of information regarding the "black art" of overclocking. As said before, read as much as you can find, then come back here with more specific questions.

Help us help you, do some research first.

By the way, the KT133 chipset is generally limited to a FSB in the 107 / 110MHz range.

I hope this helps,

Good Luck!

Welcome to the forums.
Overclocking reall isn't very difficult if done patiently and in small steps. Make sure you have good cooling and try raising your FSB just a little for your first try in steps of 1 Mhz at a time. After you've established the limit on your FSB play with the multiplier a little. Test your System after every change you make. That should get you started. If you have any questions feel free to ask.
