Oc: ?

[Legionnaire]

I have an athlon T-bird running at 1200 (what it came at) and I just aquired the knowlede needed to OC it. Now, I just need to know to what speed. It is running at 41C under load with a VOlcano6 HSF. How far can/should I push it?

What motherboard, ram, and p/s do you have?

Also, if you want to get the most you can outta that chip I'd suggest investing in some better cooling.

check out the AMD cpu database on the front page here, i check it out all the time, too see what certain chips overclock too and such .

Like said above, we need to know:

Stepping of processor
Locked or unlocked?
Motherboard
RAM (brand)`

9x
Currently Locked, but I can easily unlock it (pencil trick)
ECS SiS 735 MOBO, socket A of course

256(one stick) of SDRAM-prolly generic, I gots it at sam's club.

What I really need to know is that if I make the jump from 1200 to 1330, about how much heat will I get. Ill check the databese.

When I had that mobo, I downloaded the beta fsb bios. I switched the fsb to 150 and it ran stable. That put me at 1.350. The temps were warm, 49c, not uncommon with that bios. I wouldn't worry about unlocking your chip, you can't change the mult. in the bios.
