Here's the deal - I just finished putting together my system as follows -
Athlon XP 1700
Volcano 7 HSF + 3 x 80mm case fans
Asus AV7333 mobo KT333
ATi Radeon 8500 (retail)
Kingmax DDR PC-2700 256MB
Maxtor UDMA-133 40GB 7200rpm
Pioneer DVD... yada yada...
I figure this thing should be reasonalby "tweakable".
What would you recommend as good settings for overclocking this baby. (I'm not confident (in my ability) at "unlocking" the CPU so I'm talking about thru BIOS settings)
I played with the FSB setting (from 133 up to 145) last night and got an increase in CPU speed, but I need to know how to adjust the other settings like MEMORY timings and VOLTAGES to get the best out of it right ?
I don't want to go nuts, just crank it up as far as she'll go with what I've got, and then drop the settings back a few steps so I have a nice stable system and live happily ever after.
Thanks for your expert advice.
