Duron700 overclock

[Guest]

I bought a Duron 700 with DFI AK74 motherboard. After reading several overclocking articles became interested in overclocking it. Preferably would not like to fuss with
L1 cache connectors but adjust FSB multiplier instead.
Would changing the FSB multiple (and AGP/PCI multiples) via
the BIOS be sufficient to produce a safe and effective overclock(to about 950 MHZ) versus changing the voltage of the CPU?

Nope, afraid not. The VIA chipset is not very stable for bus overclocking. My friend got 110 bus on his KT7 RAID Duron 700 setup, but he was lucky. I have heard some don't even hit 105. The multiplier is your best bet with that setup. The L1 bridge trick is easier than it sounds. No big deal. My friend is running 880 without a prob (8*110) on a Duron 700.

I agree with LTJLover. I had that DFI mainboard with a Duron 650 and it wouldn't run stable above FSB 105, not even with the voltage cranked up to the max.... You can run FSB 110, but no way will Windows (ME) last for more than 10 minutes without rebooting... it sucks, so to say..

Got my Duron700 stable at 8.5*107 (=910 duh).
