P4 2.8c/P4P800 and AI overclock tuner
well, as you'll see I'm new to Ocing and had a couple questions regarding my BIOS settings on my p4p800 MB. My P42.8c chip has a locked ratio value of 14. When I look at the "jumper freee config" tab under "advanced", I see what is called the "AI Overclock tuner". When I click on that I get three options: manual, standard, and "overclock" with percentages of 5,10,20,30%. So if I do the math right, it says my cpu external freq. is 200, which I assume is the bus freq. When multiplied by 14 gives me the 2.8mhz cpu speed of my current cpu. Now, if I wanted to OC the cpu, would I just change the bus freq. to something else? It says valid #'s for the bus freq are 200-400. So if I plug in 210 the new cpu speed should be 210x14=2940. Is this correct? So what is the difference between OCing the chip this way versus picking the overclock option of 5%, 10, 20, 30%? Finally, if I do decide to OC, how at what increments should i increase the bus freq? And, when would I have to start worrying about increasing the voltage? Sorry, I've done a lot of reading so far, but couldn't quite get all the answers. Thanks.
