Duron 700 @ 950 @ 1.8V with basic cooling (60mm fan and a small aluminium heatsink)
Epox 8KTA+ motherboard KT133 chipset

The nice thing about having an old, slow AMD is that it runs so cool :) . The idle temp is as low as 33C, and under a heavy load, it will never get past 50C.
 
xp 1600 @ 1900 (152X12.5) @ 1.95. shuttle is v. modded. was running 1850 stable @ 1.85. don't know how high i could go now, as i'm on my highest available multi and i can't keep my system stable at a higher fsb. this is a recent development and i'm not sure why, as i've always run this board at 166 with fastest ram timings, i'll figure it out eventually, probably ram/psu or both.
 
How about the highest overclock with the least voltage?
I can run 100% stable with only 1.65v 10.5 x 166=1.74GHz
or 1.7v 11 x 164=1.8GHz using unlocked xp2000

wow you use 1.85 just for a 100mhz overclock? is it really neccesary... is it unstable otherwise?
 
I am currently running rock stable at 1.75v

XP 1700+ (O/C 1650), 256 MB PC2700, WD 30GB, GF4 4200 (O/C 318/565) No other cooling other than normal fans 3x 80mm. Thermaltake minisuperorb heatsink. Cable Modem 1.5 Mb.
 
1200 TB @ 1999

1.51V(bios reading), 1.57V(MBM).
Adjusted in bios. 1.55V is the lowest setting it has.
Been running stable about a year now.
Temps lowered 3-4C.
 
1.92, im running my xp 1600+ at 1.64 GHz... 10.5 x 156 FSB if i remember right... 45 degrees core temp...

umm, i don't know how to unlock the multiplier.... well, i do, but i don't have the multiplier in my bios.... would that be a problem for me??? i can't find it anywhere on my mobo either.... help

oh yeah, my mobo is a GA-7VKML

Well, i'm at stock 1.75 now... contemplating changing my Volcano 7+ to a Slk-800 with Tornado jet engine loud *** mo@@#^ fan hehhehe :)

Also trying to wait for the new Swiftech MCX462+, hope it's good :)
