Can I get it any faster? Ok guys well I finally have a spare setup to really try and get a decent clock out of my spare processor, So I began the overclocking process today with new memory (PC3200) since I originally though I was limited on my overclock by the slow speed of my original memory. I managed to run the new memory at 180Mhz stable tested with MemTest.... I changed the multi on the processor (AMD Athlon MP 1600+) to 9x and tried to boot with the settings of 180x9 = 1620Mhz, I have had this successfully running at 175x9.5 = 1662Mhz successfully with my old memory so i back the fsb down to 175 and upped the multi up to 9.5, nd it tested stable with prime95, but would not go any higher on the fsb even with a vcore of 1.8v, currently it is aircooled but I have a watercooling setup laying around I'm probably going to hook up on this. My question is... is there anything I can do to get this clock any faster, will the wc help at all? or is this just as fast as it can manage? |

Yeah, it definitely looks like you are CPU limited. Better cooling should help that. |

yes the onboard graphics do seem to be limited to 180Mhz, before my fsb was limited by my RAM which would only get up to 175Mhz, but I will try that today after work to be sure |

well seems like it might have been the chipset limiting the clock, its running prime95 right now at 166x10 and seems to be fine, I'll up the fsb in a bit after prime has had some time to run |
