how do i overclock

[new_PC_user]

well i'm interested in overclocking my new PC it's a 850 amd with the KT7 raid and i was wondering how do i over clock it. I change the "multiplier" however it does NOTHING! my friend says i need to draw on the cpu with a graphit pencil. then this will supposeitly unlock my multiplyer. am i correct and if yes where do i draw on it

I recommend, by experience that up to FSB@110, all should go nice and sweet - get a nice Cooler, one of the ThermalTake Chrome Orb´s or Mini-Super-Orb (2 fans at 5000/5500rpm), but if you want to go further... must tweak extensively that BIOS!!!

------------------
Abit KT7A-RAID
AMD K7 TBird 1Ghz@1,12Ghz (FSB112)
Cooler TT Mini-Super-Orb
OEM 256Mb SDRAM PC133
IBM 30Gb 7200rpm 2Mb cache
Hercules Prophet II MX (w/TT Blue Orb)
LG 8x/4x/32x
SB Live! 1024 Value

we just put in the super orb and i still have trouble overclocking right now i have it at 103fsb 34 mhz pci and is seams find however at 105 fsb if will boot into windows 98se however after trying to run any program it freezes up on me.... um any sugestions .

He has a KT7-RAID while you have a KT7A-RAID which explains why he's having limited sucess overclocking via the FSB. My experience with the KT7-RAID (Non KT133A) chipset is that the FSB is best left at 100MHz (200MHz DDR) and the multiplier used to overclock instead.

My KT7-RAID takes my T-Bird 800 to 1.1GHz via 11.0 x 100MHz.

look on the processor for a set of dots that should look similar to this: ::::. thoes are the L1 bridges, you need to take a pencil and connect them, they should look like this: | || |. when you are done. also, another reason you might have had problems is your voltage. when you make it go faster then you need to up the voltage to make it stable.


I DO NOT recomend an "orb" for an overclocking job. a heatsink more like an ALPHA PAL 6035 or FOP 32-1 is more up to the task.
if you arent bothered by noise then get the GlobalWin FOP 38, it is loud though!

I hope this helps.. feel free to ICQ me at 13068487 if you have ANY more questions.
