another newb with overclocking questions

[Wood Shop]

I am interested in getting my FSB to the 145-150 range. I would like to know what voltage settings to use to achieve this? i.e. Vcore and DDR voltages.(by leaving these in auto, I can only get to 138 and remain stable) Also, should I change my memory timing if I increase the FSB by this much? Are there any other settings that need to be changed?(in BIOS or other)

Thanks for your input

Welcome to the forums,
You have good cpu heatsink and as long as you monitor your temps you should be able to set the cpu vcore to the max for your board 1.85v without a problem this should help your cpu that I assume is locked have a better chance of being stable at 150x11.5 (1725mhz).

You can safely change your memory voltage to 2.7v that should also help you most people can get crucial to 150-155mhz range with 2.7v.

Its best keep your memory timing slow while trying to up the fsb until you get to your goal then set them to faster settings once you reach it.

While 1725mhz from a xp 1800 is not uncommon some can not reach this speed it depends on luck with getting a cpu that's slightly better than average.

If you can't get 150mhz with the above then the next steps would be doing a cpu voltage mod (see the sticky in the motherboard section) or unlocking the cpu so you can keep the fsb high without over doing your cpu with mhz.

Good luck.
