I've just managed to get my system stable after my first attempt at overclocking. Just used FSB this time as I havent connected my L1's yet. Got FSB up to 133, so I'm running at 10*133.
Firstly I ran Winmark then 3dMark, followed by 10 mins of Sandra burn in. Passed all tests with flying colours and I was pleased with the increase in benchmark scores.
After this the temps were a bit high, but nothing too bad. CPU was around 45C, RAM at 38C and Northbridge at32C. Should be able to get these lower when my new fans arrive. Or I may just up the multiplier and try to hit 1400!
I would have thought the benchmarks would show up any instabilities or other problems. But the problem is now that Win Me wont shut down, just goes to a black screen, and one of the four USB ports doesn't work!
Any ideas guys? I don't want to have to return to a lowly 1Ghz!
