how far to push a 950 tbird

[whooping_a_panda]

I have a 950 t-bird wiht a 200 fsb and am soon purchasing a Epox 8KHA+ motherboard. I was just curious as to how far I can push this chip with this motherboard. Im using a sk-6 hsf with a delta 38 on it and as2 thermal paste. Im willing to do the voltage mods on the board and the rest of the whole nine yards. Do you think i could kpush it past 1.2 (this is my goal for the chip). Ohh yea the stepping on the chip is AGGA if htis helps any. The average oc on it is roughly 1.0-1.1 in the cpu database as well but 1.2+ is what im hoping for.

You'll be very, very lucky if you get this chip to 1.2. All 950s and below (also some 1.0s) were aluminum-interconnect process chips. Above this, copper was used, and higher speeds could be attained. But normally, the cap for Athlons below 1GHz came to between 1050 and 1100, no matter what voltages are given. I'd say you could expect around 1100, but I know quite a few people who have had 900s and 950s, and did not get them above 1GHz.
