I just unlocked my first CPU, an AMD 1700.(AROGA)
Forgive my ignorance but are there any additional dangers in increasing the mulitplier as opposed to lowering multi and increasing the FSB?
Another question: It appears I can only get my 1700 up to 1.67 Gig. Is that a normal oc result or should I expect more?
My Vcore in BIOS is maxed at 1.85V.
Would doing a voltage mod guarantee increased oc results?
Am I correct to ASSume that to test my component's max ocability I change my divider to 5. Lower my multiplier and increase fsb to determine max frequency the CPU will handle? I am aSSuming that the divider lowered gives my PCI/AGP devices relief and I am testing CPU maximums?
Therefore: I must need more Vcore for the CPU to go higher?
I should point out that my PC is in a very cool basement and my CPU temp load peaks at 43C during Sandra burning test, it is 37C at idle.
Thanks for your assistance.
