Just did my first over clock. Had this new PC for 3 months nearly and thought I may try and do an over clock. As its a Abit NF7-S its not that hard to over clock as you just select the settings. As I own DDR400 RAM and wanted to keep the RAM in sync with the CPU FSB I decided to raise the CPU's FSB to 200 from 166. As the frequency is alot higher I turned the multiplier down from 12.5 to 10.5. With this setting the CPU runs at just over 2.1 ghz when the old settings were at 2.08 ghz. But as the PC now runs at 400mhz FSB instead of 333mhz it should run faster. I will leave it like this for a bit to see whether the temperatures increase alot more or whether the PC is unstable.
