I have overclocked my Athlon 1Ghz to 1.38Ghz is that possible to get that chip higher if i put it to 1425 then it craches in windows.
If i just up the Vcore?
I had already raised the Vcore +0,075 its now 1.91v

How hot is it getting? I hope you have a really good HSF. Try & up the VCore a bit but seeing that you already at 1.91V I would be worried with the heat.

Temp is good 41C idle and 50C load (running Sisoft Sandra Burn in about 100 times) and if i play Max Payne its 45C.
I think its very good temp. I have one side of the case open (that helps)
Can i burn the CPU with Vcore? my mobo has a voltage protection!

What HS do you use? Do you use AS2?

I think your temp is a little high. I run my T-Bird @1490MHz full load is 46C. That's 110MHz more than you and still 4C colder than you.

You have a 1200 T-bird clocked to 1490 this means that your overclock is 290Mhz but mine is a 1000 T-bird running @1380
its 380Mhz more than default. Mine has 90mhz more than yours.

Thats why its hoter:mad:

I use a COOLERMASTER high performance thermal compound and an Coolermaster heatsink

Coolermaster's aren't the best HS's so maybe you should look around for another. I you want something good, go for a ALPHA 8045, SK6 or a Swiftech MC462A.
How about case cooling?
Also what stepping does your CPU have?

steping is AXIA

I think maybe your vcore is off, most boards dont allow over 1.85vcore at most without a voltmod. at +.775 im at 1.825 up from 1.750. Make sure you have a GOOD hs, as that will generate lots of heat. But usually upping the vcore will allow a little more stability-maybe try lower X and higher FSB, or maybe less agressive mem timings

This is also why some boards are not AMD recomended. The BIOS reports the same voltage reading on my VCore compared to VIAhm.
