ASUS P4T533-C overclocking?

[Clob]

Running 2.8 533fsb, 1 gig of 1066 rambus, radeon 9700 pro.

I have the pin on the motherboad set to jumper free mode so i can change the cpu multiplier. For some reason it is still locked. Anyone know whats wrong with it?

Does anyone have this board? if so can you help me OC it?

LOL, it's always locked. It always will be locked. All Intel desktop CPU's since the PII 350 have been completely multiplier locked, except for "engineering samples" that are occasionally sent to review sites. There is no way the change the multiplier on your CPU with any board.

You have to increase your bus speed to increase your clockspeed. Your chipset can handle at least 150MHz FSB (QDR600) up from 133MHz stock (QDR533). Your RAM might overclock by the same amount to PC1200 RDRAM speed, then again it might not. If you can't push your RAM that far, you can set it to PC800 speed first, then TRY to overclock it back up to PC1066 speed along with the CPU (raising it from 533/800 to 710/1066 using a bus clock for the CPU of 177MHz).

When i adjust that, am i going to need to up the ram and the cpu voltage? I got it to about 3.15 ghz before it became unstable

Yes, that can help. Rambus is a little hot to begin with, so I'd check your RAM temps before overvolting it. Since RAM doesn't provide a thermal reading, I actually touch the metal side to see how hot it is. Don't push on it very hard and ground your other hand to the comper case.
