overclocking amd 64 newcastle 3400

[gib4500]

I'm overclocking my amd 64 newcastle 3400 processor. I can get the front side bus speed up to 212 but no more than that. I think the motherboard somehow has a lock that it won't allow me to take it any farther. The stock speed is 2.4Ghz i'v got it up to about 2.544Ghz now. I noticed that the memory voltage, chipset voltage and core voltage are all set to auto. I was thinking this is maybe why it won't let me go any farther with it. What are these voltages usuallly set at.

The motherboard is a msi via k8t800. If i set the front side bus up to 213 my computer won't post. Thanks for any help.

Unless you have the K8T800 Pro, your motherboard does not have a working PCI/AGP lock. This is the cause of your instability past 213.
