Help me my Athlon 1.2 GHz with the push to the limit + EPoX 8KTA3 [epox 8kta3] [core voltage]
Q: I have my system running at 9.5 * 145 = 1378, which should be pretty good. I could not get Windows 2000 to load at 9.5 * 1910 * 150 or 140. I increased the core voltage to 1.85, and I / O voltage by 0.2, and my question is how high I can go before I harm my motherboard. Can I go higher? My temps are OK, then 45C most of the time, usually about 43c. Any suggestions?
Thanks for your help!

Re:I have OCZ MicroBGA PC166 memory, so I don't think it is the memory. I have a 300w PS right now, but a 340w is on its way, I should get it today, so I will do some more tweaking tonight and see how high I can go.
What about I/O voltage? I have maxed out the core voltage at 1.85, how high can I go with the I/O voltage with the EPoX 8KTA3+ motherboard?

Re:Not doing the 9×150MHz (1350MHz) would be ram. Not doing 10×140MHz (1400) would point the finger at the CPU. This is based on the fact that you are at 9.5×145 (1378MHz) stable, you are between RAM/CPU limits. I think that's all you are going to get.

Re:I'd say you're doing good where your at. If your at 45c with a minor load then you have decent cooling, and I would'nt suspect that to be holding you back. 1.85v is the max, and as long as you don't have a fire, you can't hurt the motherboard.
The only other question is your power supply. If it's recommended by AMD for the speed you are trying to reach, then you are probably just at the CPU's limit as to what it will do.
