Hey, i got a duron 800 runnin on an Abit KT7 mobo, and so far i've managed to get it to 936mhz. thats 9.5 * 4 i do believe. First time i overclocked it, it blanked on me, absolutley nothing. So i cleared the cmos, and rose the core voltage from 1.6 to something like 1.7. then it booted, and worked fine. Eventually i ended up with a voltage of 1.85, as high as it would go, but i couldnt get any more out of it, if i raised the fsp even 1mhz i got crashes. This is useing the host clock + settting, which increases the fsb without affecting the pci bus. I then decided to see how low the voltage would go, as i had kept increasing it to see iff i could get more speed. I kept putting it down, and rebboting, and everything worked. I managed to get it back down to 1.6! and it now works fine, where it didnt even boot before?? this lowered my temps like 9 degrees, it was runnin around 40 at 1.85 volts, and at the moment its at 29, but i think thats cos its a bit cold in here.
So firstly why does it now work at 1.6 volts, and also why wont the fsb increase any more?? im sure its adequetly cooled with these temps, and also i can give it another .25 volts that dont make any difference. Is there another component that could be holding it back? any ideas?
