yes it can be that simple.
you may need to get better cooling. the intel hsf does a pretty good job, but if you're going for a super high overclcok, it can only work so well.

I agree, it is very simple to OC your 1.8a.
try going 133fsb with no extra voltages first.
then try to up the voltage only if things start to crash.
watch your temps.

well for alittle boost its that simple. when u want to like get 50% OC of ur chip then u will need more skillz... are u looking for a simple guide to OCing? without the tech talk?hacktic said:the sticky up there is all tech trash.....i wanna o/c my 1.8A 256 DDR ram. cant be that simple as going to BIOs and changing the vcore and FSB? right? pls assist
He will not get to 133fsb without more volts. And with the stock HSF, it will run to hot.

Y dont u tell us what u got for a mobo? U should be able to do 133fsb pretty easy without to much more voltage. it should even work with ur stock hsf maybe. U may need a better hsf. if I were u, id get a ax478 hsf.hacktic said:yes precisely...just a little itchy o/c tweak

1 FSB
2 voltage
3 ram speed
4 agp/pci speed.
if u can lock the agp/pci speed so it doesnt go up, if it does im sure u wont get anywhere. mine is locked at 66mhz
if u can set ram speeds, turn it to lowest possible. or lock it (auto)
this way it wont max before ur chip
now just up the FSB alittle at a time, maybe 2-5mhz untill u hit unstability. then give it .025 more at a time, to increase stability.
watch CPU temps. for default speed, up to 140f is fine. any more then i start to see reboots. Its suppose to throttle down, but for me it just reboots. When OCing 120f and under is ideal, but if it goes up to 135f, im sure u will be fine. 140f, and im sure u will run into trouble.
once u have maxed or obtained a desirable speed, u can up the ram timing. That will give u an idea, if the ram or the cpu is the holding u back. GL
im not familiar with that board. But when OCing northies the 4 main things will behacktic said:

it ain't brain surgery.
what board are you running? i'm assuming a bd7ii?
go to it and report back with some benchies. 155-165 mhz would be very kewl dude!

oh, okay. i'm not sure what that "16*" means. what is that? the g chipset does support 533. what is your ram again?
