Overclocking P4 2.26

[MaxPayne]

I'm using an Asus P4T533-C and I'm wondering do I have to do anything to the multiplier in the bios to overclock correctly. I have upped the CPU/PCI frequency from 133/33 to 144/48, I think. I'll have to look again to be exact, but you get the jist of it. Is that all there is to it? When I check in windows and benchmark it, it reports that I'm running at 2.45.

I have never tried overclocking before.

Thanks.

See how much you can raise the FSB and still have stability. Turning up the CPU Vcore may give you more MHz, but I really wouldn´t do it.

You have to set an appropiate RDRAM/FSB frequency ratio.

Keep an eye on those temps. Don´t let em go to the high 50s.

Check stability using Prime 95:

48 MHz may be a little tough on your PCI cards? See if there is a better combination.

As long as 1.7v is your max vcore used I would not worry about increasing the vcore!

Many people are getting 2.8~3.0GHz with the 2.26!

OK then I´m a coward

Ok, I double checked my bios settings. They are:

CPU/PCI 144/36
CPU Multiple 17x
Vcore 1.5

CPU temp right now is 32C
Motherboard is 35C

I put a blow hole in the side of the case and ran a piece of tubing from that fan right onto the cpu fan, to explain why my cpu temp is lower than my MB temp. I also ordered a Thermal Take Volcano 7+ today for the cpu. $30, can't go wrong with trying it out.

Ol' Man, 3.0 ghz off a 2.26? That's impressive. I'm shocked the person who did that didn't melt the cpu. Do you know if they used water cooling or just fans?
