AMD Duron overclocking

[davesalisburyuk]

I have finally managed to overclock my duron 800 to 960 but to enable me to do this i had to lower my memory in the bios from 133 to 100 my fsb is 120 will my memory be any slower now? Also my idle temp is 38* and 49 under full load are these temps ok?

Don't know your mobo specs but assume it's KT133. If it is then it's working at 200 (double data rate) i.e. 100MHz. Having PC133 mem still means its working at 200MHz so its not going to make a lot of difference. You temps are on the high side if they are being reported correctly. You will have to push it some more and see what happens. Sounds like you are becoming addicted (judging by the # of posts you have made) and you would benefit by giving some serious thought to buying a new mobo that is going to give you some assistance.

I have also made comment under the cooling section but the cost is dependent on the route you take. If you took the primary route that I used of evaporative cooling then you are looking at <£60 but if you want the self enclosed type with radiator, res etc then probably from £100 - £200.

Well the ECS board is a SIS 735 chipset i do believe ..................and it was originally designed for the OEM market so there will be minimal OC'ing ablility ..............but on the other hand, it's a Damn stable board if all ya want is to "plug and play"...............also can I say CHEAP!.................ya can pick one up for around $60-70 USD............................
