Overclocking an unlocked XP2400+

I have an older system (Epox EP-8KHA+) that I am trying to squeeze a little
extra out of by means of increasing the default multiplier of my XP 2400+

I have the older T-Bred "B" unlocked chip and have successfully been able to
change its multiplier from 16X (8) to *8.5* or 17X, this then is recognized
by the BIOS as *XP2600+* and has run quite well for a couple years with NO
problems!

Now I would like to further increase my system, but when I increase the
multiplier to

Sorry about that incomplete post
I meant to correct it and somehow sent it instead.

What I am asking this group is must I also increase voltage along with an
additional multiplier increase for stability?

I have attempted to further increase multi to 8X (16) to 8.5X (17) and have
run into occasional bluescreens and sudden reboots. I have run a burn-in
program but NOT for any great length of time, and it has passed with the
8.5X multi.

I know my temps are good as I have several fans and have Motherboard Monitor
running and can observe temps at all times.
Thanks for any response, and again I apoligise for my first incomplete post.

A multiplier of 17 yeilds 2266MHz. It would be normal to have to increase
vcore to get it stable at that speed. How much will vary, but I'd think
1.75v would be enough in most cases. I needed 1.85v for the speed below on
one board, and 1.80v on another with same cpu.

I would rather just up the (fsb)
I find I get a better performance gain on both cpu & ram that way.
I can use a multiplier that high, I didn't even know it till I fooled around
with bois a little more.
Starts at 6.5
then 7.0x/15.0x if unlocked 15.0x
7.5
8.0x/16.x 16.0x
5.5x/16.5x 16.5x
9.0x/17.0x 17.0x
9.5x
10.0x
10.5x
11.0x
11.5x
12.0x
12.5x
13.0x
13.5x
And 14.0x
Board - Asus A7N8X
I'm running @ 11x198 = 2,178
Yes, I do know what the true (fsb) is.
Denny. ;-) 🙂
