| [OC] socket 7-> When is it time to up the voltages? My old Socket 7 motherboard will POST but about half way through it will freeze and then on reboot I get a black screen. I have set the FSB at 120MHz and a multiplier of X4. What voltage should I raise to get it to run? The +3 (that is 3.5V default) up to 3.6V? Or the CPU voltage from 2.4V up to 2.5V, 2.6V? It can go up to 3.5V ( but I would think that would fry the CPU).
The CPU is an AMD K6-2 450 2.4V. RAM is 384MB (mixed PC133 and PC100) I would think the PC133 would fall back to PC100?
Cooling is an standard Socket 7 heat-sync/fan with paste on the CPU. I slapped on an Socket 775 CPU cooler fan (that I removed from the heat sync) and clipped it on to the front of the case so the cool air will blow in.
I would like to raise the FSB past 100Mhz to get decent performance out of the system so I can run an lightweight Linux distro. Or get Windows 2000 or XP running but after awhile it gets kind of boring. lol 
I have tried Google to find an answer but I have no luck finding the answer.
I tried to reply on my older original post but it said it was to old.
