Hi, I've got an athlon xp 1600+ that im trying to overclock.

I've overclocked it to just under 1.7 GHz by putting the fsb to 160.

If I put it higher it wont boot to windows.

Voltages:

CPU - Default 1.750 Now 1.844
RAM - 2.65 Now 2.70
NB - 1.60 Now 1.65

Can anyone suggest any settings I can change to get anymore out of it.

Full Specs:

Athlon XP 1600+ (artic cooling copper silent 2)
Abit AN7
512 Kingstion value ram PC3200
Geforce 4600 TI 128MB
80GB Maxtor IDE

temps are below 30 temp on cpu and mb.

Thanks.

Try dropping the multiplier to 10. I have always had better luck dropping the multi and upping the bus.

I doubt that's what they are in reality.

Sounds like you've hit the limit with that processor.

Does that board have a pci/agp lock? If so, have you locked it?
If it does not, I would up the fsb and try a lower multi as skivvy posted. Set the fsb at 166; this will kick in the divider and lower the pci/agp back to 33/66mzh. Note if you have locked the pci bus, you can disregard the above.
