I am a complete novice at OC, please bear with me.
I purchased an Asus A7V133 and Athlon TBird 1200C (266FSB). I set the multiplier to 9.0 and external freq to 133. The Asus Probe reports the CPU temp hovers around 56C using a standard CPU heatsink/fan plus two 80mm chassis fans.
I changed the multiplier to 9.5 and the BIOS and WCPUID both report the CPU is running at 1266, but Asus Probe still reports the CPU temp hovering at 56C. Is my CPU really running at 1266? I didn't unlock it. I don't even know what unlocking is. Can I change the TBird multipler without unlocking?
I tried changing the external freq to 140, but the system wouldn't post. Can the external freq be changed without unlocking the CPU? When/why should vcore be changed?
Is 56C too hot? Should I replace the heatsink and fan?
Thanks for your help.
