Overclocking K7 Athlon

[adrian_j]

I have an K7 plain vanilla athlon chip at 550 mhz with a clock multiplier of 5.5. I manage to overclock to 630 mhz by changing the bus speed to 115 mhz. But that seems to be the best i can get. Of course if i can change my clock multiplier itll be much faster, how do i do it on this chip. I have an Epox KX7 mobo. Thanks- Adrian

You'll need a Gold Finger card or something like it. It lets you custom select the multiplier. I had one but it was a Compaq revision of the FIC board which wouldn't allow me to run it any faster than 500.
