I have an Athlon XP 1700 and it is running at about 41C with a case temp of upper 20C's. I see that theres two ways to overclock; changing the FSB and changing the multiplier. How much do you think I can O/C with temperatures likle that? and which method is better?

Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
How much to O/C?

Alittle more information would help a bit. What type of memory are you using. Though with those temps you may be able to up your 1700 quite a bit. There a few ways you can go about OC'in. One would be to lower the multi and raise your FSB. It really just depends on what type of memory you are running so you can tell how far you can push it.
If you are able to change the mulipliers in your bios I'd say just do that. Your FSB won't go much higher then 133 , maybe 138 if you are lucky. I'd say try changing the multiplier and leave your memory as is for now.
Good luck on the oc those 1700's are sexy

Ok, I got some conductive nickel paint at my local electronics shop (the guy even said "what are you gonna do with it overclock?" that was pretty cool ) and well I found that my mobo supports multipliers up to 15!!! I want to get close to 2 gighz out of my 1700XP, is this possible? based on my current temps and speed it seems that at a 400 mhz overclock the temps will still be ok:
1470/42(current temp under current speed)
1470/42 = 1870/x
x = 58C
is this accurate or do temps go up exponentially as i overclock? I see that athlon xp pallys can go up to 90C before a burnout and this is well under that.
