i just want to make sure i know what im doing now. since i started learning around the holidays, i figure this:

(assuming all parts work properly)

1. FSB is limited by the memory first. the CPU to a lesser degree.
2. total clock speed (multiplier) is limited by the CPU
3. everything including stability depends on the quality of mobo, voltages and fluctuation, and heat

anything wrong or missing?

No, that is correct. You could ad memory to #3...acutally, quality everything really helps, but that is still not going to ensure anything. ;)
 
k thx. ill see what i can do with an nFII Infinity w/ XP 2500+ mobile. (just came today) :cool:
 
first push:

197x11, 1.55v, 45min Prime.

*shrug*

ill get serious next week. i had to format my drive to get the board workin. :mad:

oh, one thing i like right now.. a 33 socket temp at this speed. i was lucky to be under 45 on my old Barton 2500+ at 200x11.

great start, especially for that amount of voltage.:eek: lower temps because your voltage is low. your chip has alot of potential i think. i wish i could get one.
 
your cooler may be hampering performance overclocking. if you can get a better one i'd suggest it.

do keep us posted though.
 
Quality is not always that big of a factor. Im running a 70 dollar motherboard with a 30 dollar PSU and im at the specs in my sig.
 
duhr 33 degrees.. that temp is with the fan on low, dialed up 1/3 on a 7-12v rheobus. 2100rpm.

at 5700rpm its telling me 30. both temps are after 20mins Prime95 balanced test.

im not a big temp geek so far, but i like it. :D
