I have a 1.8 Ghz processor and im tryin to overclock it

[LucianXX]

how do i overclock my 1.8 Ghz processor?
CPU type:x86 family 6 module 6 stepping 2 Authentic AMD
Motherboard Model:a7m266
Memory:512mb
Power Supply:450W

Depends on what processor it is, what motherboard you have... etc.

gonna need a little more info than "1.8ghz processor"

You go to walmart or target and buy your favorite wall clock. Then you tape it underneath your computer case and viola, your overclocked.

list the following

CPU type
Motherboard model
Memory(speed make, ect)
Power supply
anythink else you can think of.

Different machines OC differently.

boonality, funny comment. post of the day for sure.

Boonality, I gave your post one of those thumbs up things (whatever that means). Good post.

Yep, we need more info.

^ Me too. LOL. Good one.

He has an a7m266.. A7 = Socket A so its either an Athlon or a Duron.. But we also need to know your RAM speeds and bios options for voltage, multiplier & bus speed using FSB.

its K7s

Either way since its a model 6(Palomino core. looks like a AthlonXP 2200+) they run very hot and you will have to check the temps before overclocking. A new heatsink is a MUST

on the plus side the cpu is old enough(or at least it appears to be) to change the multiplier with little wires(you get them from an old power or data cable with small strands of wire.) in the socket.

When i say small wires, i mean it

Now go to OCinside's website and you can select your cpu parameters. then what you want(don't get too pushy). If you open them in different windows or tabs it is easier to do(you do not need to add the wires that your cpu already has connected, just he extras). Now add the small wires(short, in a u shape) then reinsert the cpu and reinstall the heatsink. Cross your fingers and power up(make sure the wires are in the right spaces).

The pin mod can also adjust the voltage up, but that will add heat and that cpu is most likely already at 1.8volts.

the 133 is 266 so don't change it. just up the multi, and if brave a bit of voltage.

Those cpus's are not known for overclocking, but if you want to try thats the best way. You can also increase the fsb in the bios.
