Upping The Vcore

[SingaBoiy]

I have a FIC AN17 and Athlon XP 2200+. I want to get a better OC. I think my cpu is only being clocked at 1.67 stock. If Im correct thats 2000+ speed?

But anyways, I want to get a better OC, its currently at 1.925 GHz.

TIA

Depends which motherboard and bios you are using, but it is somewhere in the bios options. You should have to change something like "System Voltages" from "Default" to "User Define" or something like that, then you will be able to manually select how much voltage you want going to your vDimm, AGP, Vcore, Chipset, etc...

[(>Zero Cool<)]

be very careful when upping the vcore, among other things it will up your cpu temp

yeah it will alot

Unless you&#39;ve changed the heatsink on the chipset, I would not recommend trying to overclock any further with that motherboard. Mobo temps of 70C seem to be the result even with standard clock speed.

Even if you have chenged it you need to be aware that temp reporting is not very good. It got a very poor review (here (http://www20.tomshardware.com/motherboard/20020509/kt333-17.html)), and although that report does seem to indicate that you can vary the core voltage, you should be very wary about doing so.

Thanks for the info.

I just put my finger on the shipset heatsink and it is very hot. :unsure: Where would be a good place to get a new/better one and does anyone have any recomendations?

I&#39;m not sure, fingers are very hard to replace, better look after the one you&#39;ve got.

I think Clocker&#39;s got a good heatsink, but I can&#39;t remember who makes it (maybe Zalman) or whether it will fit your mobo.

Edit: I was right, it is the Zalman, there&#39;s a review here. (http://www.a1-electronics.net/Heatsinks/2003/Zalman_ZM-NB47J_Sept03.shtml)
