What do I overclock?

[Crucible]

I just bought a KT333/Ultra Dragon Platinum Edition and an Athlon XP 1900+. I use a retail fan and it runs at about 40-45 degrees. Should I overclock it at all? And should I raise the FSB? What should be changed (from the default settings). I noticed my CPU is the bottleneck for my 3dmarks score so I want to overclock it if I can. Thanks for your help.

If you're worried about frying the cpu, then don't.

Unlock it, crank that multiplier down, and push that FSB up as far as it will go. I've got an old 1.4ghz tbird that's running with a 175mhz FSB.

Response time is incredible. And I don't even have the processor overclocked much (I'm aircooling right now).

P4's @ 3600Mhz ()wNz J00 4LL!!!!!!

If you don't want to unlock the CPU you just start raising the FSB a couple of MHz eacht time. If it gets instable and the temps are ok you can increase the CPU VCore to try to get it stable. Always keep an eye on the temp.
