I'm relatively new to OC'ing, but I've got myself a system that's running pretty well (see signature). I'm able to OC to 2.3G at 14*166 @1.7vcore with cpu temps at 42 idle/47 load. I am also able to bump the FSB up to about 175 without a problem (13*175), but any attempt to go higher results in a system hang once I get into windows. Ideally, I'd like to run my system at 12*200, since I've heard of others who have been successful. I don't think it's a heat problem since I'm stable at 2.3 with a 166 FSB. Also, I've tried bumping the vcore up to 1.75v (max for my mobo), the memory voltage up to 2.8v from 2.6v and the agp voltage up to 1.7v from 1.5v. Lastly, I've tried to adjust the memory timings from "aggressive" to "optimal", but still no luck. Any ideas? I heard I can mod my mobo to be able to increase vcore, but I'm not sure if I want to do that yet... Maybe my chip is as fast as it's going to get? By the way, my CPU is an axda1700dlt3c with JIUHB:0307VPMW.
Thanks.
