800tbird, i/o, core voltage

[sinner]

hi guys, just got a q. At what point raising my core voltage, ie:1.775v, do I bump the i/o voltage up to 3.4? System is unstable @ 880mhz, yet the temp is only 35-38C.

Before adjusting voltage you might try "burning in" your processor. See my post, "Squeeze some extra Mhz out of your TB800"

880mhz, you must be overclocking with the FSB, right? Are you using the KT133 chipset? not the KT133A? If so, the KT133 chipset on all of the first AMD TBird/Duron motherboards is not stable much beyond 110mhz FSB. You can up the I/O voltage to 3.5 volts, and the CPU Core voltage up to 1.85 volts without much of a worry, but if you have the KT133 chipset, you are going to be limited by it. What you need to do is use a pencil to connect the L1 bridges on the top of the CPU, and adjust the CPU multiplier with the motherboard to 9, 9.5, or 10, etc.. to achieve a higher speed. What mobo are your using?? This will tell us what you can do with your CPU.
