Overclocking my p3 450

[MachX]

Hello, I'm trying to overclock my P3 450 SL35D on a Microstar BX 6163 pro mobo, using standard heatsink and fan. But I can't rech much over 115 in fsb before I get windows registry-faults, lock ups and such stuff.

I have a tnt2 m64 videocard and 64 M of ram. I'm pretty sure the ram can take at least 120 fsb.

So, could this be my tnt2-card on the agp-bus holding me back? Or is my mobo not good for overclocking? Have anyone had experience with the 6163 pro? I really want my p3 450 to run at say 600 Mhz..

Thanks!

If you can increase the core voltage then you may make your system more stable. Do not exceed 2.3 volts maximum or you risk frying your processor.

Every PIII I've seen with the standard h/s runs hot even at stock speed. I would recomend a aftermarket h/s before upping the voltage. Your tnt2 should be good to 124 if your ram can take it. Other thing could be HDD - I'm too tired to figure out pci of 115 but its outta wack.
