DO I have the specs?

[tibou]

If I overclock my new system, 1.33GHz AYHJA stepping, Epox 87AK mobo, artic silver II, alpha 6035 heatsink, Landmark ATX 202 Case, Enermax 350w power supply, 2 case fans, D-link nic, dvd drive, msi starforce 815 geforce 2 gts pro 64 mb ddr video card and 512 mb micron ddr ram. Will my system have enough COOLING and POWER to overlock this to about 1540Mhz (11 x 140FSB)? Thanks so much for your help.

I would say you should be able to get to 1540mhz. PPl are saying that they can get to 1.5ghz from a 1ghz i think thats the axia tho. BTW how do u like the Geforce2 GTS?? I've been thinking about getting that card.

The card's pretty good, I don'T have much to compare it to though. I had an old pII 300 with a voodoo banshee. According to this article http://www.athlonoc.com/newsteppings.php
the axia on average can go up to 1525Mhz while the AYHJA 1660. I'm not sure what specs they used to determine this but I guess the AYHJA stepping is superior. Do you guys think I could get up to 1600Mhz without overheating?

As long as the processor stays within a reasonable temp and there is no lockups you should be ok.

Well, do I have sufficient cooling? (2) 80mm case fans, an enermax 350w power supply with 2 fans, a alpha 6035 heatsink, and artic silver II thermal paste.

I say go for it. Just monitor the temp till you know that it will stay under a certain temp. Ex. you probably don't want your CPU to be running at 60*C with no load. I think that that should cool it nicely.

Will I have to increase the voltage of the cpu?

 

[AEboy128]

See how far you can get without upping the voltage. You have to remember that more voltage in the chip will also increase the temperature. You wont have to up the voltage. You should do pretty good with out increasing it
