How to OC the TB 900

[Azk]

I have a TB 900 running on a KT7A-RAID w/a FOP32-1, Arctic Silver, and Crucial CL2 PC133 RAM. I there a systematic way in which you seasoned OCers go about OCing processors. I am ready to test the limits of my system. Yeeha.

I usually try for 200mhz over stock and work form there, If it's stable then go higher, if it's not then back it off a little.

200mhz, sounds pretty gutsy to me. Maybe I'll start at 150.

If it was a Intel chip I would take it slooow... and easy, and check stability before going to high. But than again I don't do AMD!!!

Running at 1080MHz (144FSB/35PCI x 7.5 and v1.850) right now...still need to test the stability. Posted at 1133MHz but crashed during Win boot. Also I corrupted my registry several times along the way, what does that?

Also, how high do you guys go with the core voltage? What is the I/O voltage?

Try 8x144, I run at 1.85v
Nice going so far

Running that speed caused me to fail to post. 1080mhz seems stable except with 3D apps, spec. 3DMark2K. I crashed when running the benchmark test for the 2nd time. My CPU temp immediatly afterwards was 51C; at what temp should I get worried? I think that I will pull back the MHz a bit until I run stable in 3DMark.

That instabily could be cause by the high FSB. Try 8.5x133 at 1.85v and the I/O at 3.45v
