Hi guys,

I am currently running my 1GHz Athlon Tbird at 1150 with auto voltage. My hsf is a Globalwin WBK with the 38cfm fan and using Arctic Silver2. It is in an IWill KK266 and is running 384 of Mushkin High Perf cas 2 ram, with a Herculese Prophet Geforce2 GTS 64 Mb video card, and SB Live Value sound. No modem and cheap *** nic card.

I need some help to get it any higher.

I tried 1.2gig on auto and it wouldn't post. I then tried it at 1.8volts and it ran ok for web surfing etc, but when I fired up Counterstrike it locked up tight.

I need to know stuff like what voltages are stock?

What is the relationship between voltage and how high it can go? Do I just crank it up or is there some type of formula I should stick to?

What memory settings do you use, and which ones make a difference to overclocking? Will it help to turn down the memory settings, and what is the trade off?

I have been leaving fsb alone, and only changing the multiplyer. Should I try both, or will that create a new set of problems?

I guess that is it for now. Any help you guys can give would be greatly appreciated.

1.8GHz? holly shyt! if you got that to load @ stock voltage,you have one heck of a overclocker. stock voltage is 1.75V you can safely crank it all the way up to 1.85. What type of temps are you getting? Increasing the FSB makes a bigger difference than upping the multiplier. either way, if it doesn't post when you try an overclock, you turn it off, hold down the ins button and start it up.

Duh

I just realized I had a typo in my origional post. I have corrected it now. I tried to go 1.2 gig at 1.8 volts and it would not load win 2k.

sorry for the confusion.
