ok looks like you've got a good one there
now raise the fsb a few(3-4) mhz at a time and stress test it to find any instabilities,prime95 and toast are both good as is 3d mark for finding game stability(the cpu tests stress the cpu well)
if it locks up or re-boots simply raise the cpu vcore one notch and try again,just make sure temperatures don't get out of control
Ok, will do! What about the mulitiplier? Any recomendined standard for that? or should i leave it as it is now and jsut ajust the Freq?
I'd say get the FSB as high as it can go, while lowering the mulitplier. Once you can't get the FSB any higher, then try putting the multiplier up.
I don't think anybody mentioned Prime95 - it's a useful tool to test stability, just run the torture test.

Update:
Thought some of you might want to know that after taking advice from all you people, I've now got my 1700+ clocked at 2.03Ghz without any overheating issues (around 38* at core with medium load).
Medium load being:
Windows XP
MSN messenger
Popup Stopper
AIM messenger
Internet
2-3 Internet Explorer Windows
Heres my proof (I'm very proud of this):
[Edit: And my PC Mark 2002 Score - Is this any good? Can anyone tell me?]

If you can't overclock further then pick up a cheap 2400+ second hand...I'm sure I saw on the other day for £20
According to my PC, this is now classed as a 2400+, im happy with that.Originally Posted by JimLad

Very nice Falcon2004
If he can't overclock further then it's more likely at the limit of the motherboard than the chip..If you can't overclock further then pick up a cheap 2400+ second hand...I'm sure I saw on the other day for £20

Hmm oh well, I'm not too well informed on AMD's
Either way you can get them dirt cheap
lol, im not trying to overclock further! Im just posting my results of how far ive clocked it, im perfectly happy with it!! lol
Indeedy, if you're happy and it's happy that's all that matters
Mmmmmmmmfreemegahertz

It seems so much faster when its free doesn't it?
lol
what FSB an Mulitplier are you running?
Cant remeber exactly but its roughly
FSB : 140
Multiplier : 14.5/15
