overclocking probs

[JungleMan]

Epox 8k7a+, Athlon 1.4 AYHJA, Thermalright sk6 with Delta 30cfm, 4 case fans, one hard drive bay fan..VCore I think is about 1.90-ish, RAM voltage is higher than normal, sounds pretty good for OCing, eh? NO. Runs fine at 1533, and boots at 1600 (but is very crash prone). After that, its a no-go.

Now running at 11.5x133

any suggestions??????????

Is there a secure bond between the CPU heatsink coolant and the CPU? Also, I don't remember: is this a socket? I assume it is, as AMD ditched Slot A.

I believe i made it flat enough when i applied the AS2, and I'm not ripping it open to check. and yes this is a socket

all for 200Mhz that you won't even see

why change a good thing, what 1.4G is not fast enough for ya??

Well, you ARE getting rather close to the top end of the K7 core's potential...

I'm a number freak, I want to take it to it's limits while keeping it at a somewhat safe temperature. Plus in a world of dumbarses who think the P4 is better because the mhz is higher, I can at least claim I have a 1.6ghz Athlon

plus the more speed the better
