I got my Athlon XP 2000+ rock stable at 166x11. Its at 1.84ghz right now. Vcore's at 1.65 and my timing's are pretty tight, runnin at 5-2-2-2.5, Spectek PC2700 ram, i think its some pretty generic stuff... I just know Corsair uses Spectek ram chips on their value select line... so im GUESSING its not too bad.. i think. But uhm... I've tried pushin it a little farther. Like i put the multi at 11.5, incrase the vcore up to 1.675, and it's a lot more unstable, i think it's unstable all the way up to 1.725. I'm really picky about it being rock stable. I've tinkered around with o/cing the ram. I was able to put it up to 190x10 with really low timings, i think 8-4-4-3. I was able to play UT2k4 for a good 20 mins.. never froze. Nothin. I don't really wanna sacrifice the timings though for an fsb that high. So from any of you really really experienced OCers here.... how much farther can i take my CPU speed up to without increasing the vcore more than 1.75. (Thats my limit). But uh... i wouldnt really mind goin a little higher than that if it means things would be more stable.
Hope this doesn't bother anybody... :S.

OH yeah... forgot to mention. The stepping code on my prc is AIUHB. Supposed to be a high end T-bred B right? Thats where it gets me.. its such a shitty overclocker for a tbred b....
So i dunno... how much further do you think i can take it up to without increasing the voltage TOO high. I only got a Volcano 9.. lol. Yeah.. sux i know.

Ok so, at 1812.14mhz stable, my 2000xp is running pretty smooth. However; I'm trying to push for >1900mhz . I've managed a relatively stable 1855 at 45-50c but still not happy with that, as the PCI is at 37, i'm not sure if my board will let me lock PCI/AGP. Any clues? (see signature for specs)
Also i'm looking at VCore tolerances, anyone know what the 2000 can be pushed to before obliterating itself?

Not sure about your motherboard question, but regards vcore, I have an IWill XP333-R that has a utility program that I run after my Win98SE has finishing booting. This program says that for my current session on an XP2000+ Palomino, the max vcore is 2.19v and the min is 1.79v with a current reading of 1.87v. Very important - I actually run underclocked at 12.5x100MHz (DDR333 running at DDR200), because things get unstable when I go to 133MHz.
Back to your question, I suspect the 2.19v and 1.79v are very brief spikes at poweron, although because the utility is a Windows program, maybe the readings actually did occur further along the timeline, like after booting up Windows. You can get away with spikes that which you cannot running at a constant voltage. I know an electrical engineer who designed a visitor counter for the McCormick Place convention center in Chicago. He used LEDs, and people were counted when they broke the beam. Now LEDs run at a nominal 10mA or so, but the light beam was too weak. So what he did was rapidly pulse them using 10A. That is, he overdrove the LEDs by a factor of 1,000, but since it was only brief pulses, the LEDs kept working.
Therefore, I would recommend you do NOT crank things up to the 2.19v for a constant voltage. From what I have read, each CPU is individual as far as their limit, and things get real scary around 2.0v. The thing is, you can never really know how much it can take until you destroy it.

The most it's been at is 1.92v but that wasn't really stable due to the PCI/AGP being too high! (A real bone of contention in my book as i can't get a stable overclock because of PCI/AGP limitations) I know this CPU will go a hell of a lot higher than 1815mhz, as i've seen them runnin 2000mhz+, with a high Vcore to stablise, however i don't know what board it was running, and if it had a PCI/AGP lock. Unless i figure this out soon, I think it may be time for a Barton!
Thanks for input though Yank

Thanks for the advice. I had a look through my bios to find Quote:
inside the BIOS you must set the "Advanced Chipset Features / System Performance" from "Optimal (default)" to "Aggressive/Turbo" for overclocked settings
but couldn't find it. Could anyone recommened any freeware windows based overclocking program that i could download that works well? any suggestions would be great. Cheers!
What does this button do????

am back if you look at first post its me, well i am in need of some help, firstly i have ordered this fan praetor Arctic Cooling Copper Silent 2l (blue Light) (maximum Support XP3400) is ok for overclocking my cpu?
2ndly its a thoroughbred xp2000,
i have a asrock k7vm4
http://www.asrock.com/product/product_k7vm4.htm
as you can see there it supports fsb 333. am gonna see if i can unlock the multipliers by FID Jumpers. whats ur view on that al i got 256mb ram 3200
and 512 3200 is on its way

ei, see my specs below? *points to sig* im planning to OC my athlon..ive done it once..and i reached abt 1.8GHz..Windows XP boots, but when i start playing games, d PC stucks up..the temps are around 30C idle..
i also would like to OC my GPU core...but when i do, and start any 3D app, d screen freezes, but i can stl manage to quit d app w/o rebooting..i could OC my Video memory quite well..i jz dont know what's causing the problem when i OC my GPU core...

At the bottom you see all the specs about my PC. I can take it to 1900 with increased voltage but also in excess of heat (70-75 degrees) and I think that's just not worth the risk.
But I have a stable 1.80 (12x150) system now. Not quite sure whether the difference to the stock is worthy, but... Anyway, my EPOX MB reports the CPU now as 1900+ at 1800... Probably because of the decreased (-0.5) multiplier.
Any further suggestions?

Ok, here is a question
I just bought an ASUS A7N8X-E motherboard. supported FSB speeds from 200-400mhz. in my present motherboard <not worth mentioning> I have an Overclocked Athlon XP 2000+. the question is, if i get a good fan any one have a guess if i can run it on this board? only need to do it for 3 months. but would be very happy if i didnt cook the proccessor. Oh yea, the core is a Thoroughbred <cant remeber A or B> if it makes a difference ill redown CPUID
