Hey guys,
I have an athlon 1700+ and just bought the abit nf7(no not the nf7-s) and haven't been able to overclock this chip. The problem is I had a jetway board and was able to get this baby up to like 1.65 gig, and 1.6 stable running. Everytime I try to change the fsb on with this abit board it gives me error messages, even if I tweak it up 1 mhz. Anyone got an idea why this is and more importantly what the heck I can do to overclock this stinking chip?
Thanks.
while i doubt this is the problem, i would upgrade that ram to pc2700 or higher to allow for better overclocking of the chip, and it will also help it be more stable.Quote:

Well, your ram only goes to 266Mhz right now, which is the FSB of your CPU, so that could be making errors also, but I wouldnt think 1Mhz would do it.
but I was able to run the fsb up to 145 with that jetway board so what gives?
145x2(ddr)=290mhz bus
