thunderbird 1.0 overclock

hello all... let me first say that i am new to this forum and
overclocking as well.

but now to buisness

i am playing around with an amd 1.0 ghz thunderbird (old lol). I
managed to get it clocked to 1.25 ghz very stable. with the
following abit nf-7 mobo bios settings

clock 138

mult 9.0

and all voltage settings to the default on the abit nf-7 mobo.

also i am running a thermaltake tr2 m8 blower fan cpu cooler
mounted using arctic silver and the standard abit northbridge
cooling.

also from a cooling standpoint i have

1- 80 mm intake fan
1- 80 mm hd cooler fan
1 - 80 mm exaust fan

anyway now comes the 2 part question.

1 - it tends to run around 43 c at idle and i have seen under
extream circumstnaces 50 c this is in an un airconditioned
enviornment. most of the time when i am gaming with say unreal
tournament 2003 it stays aroung 46 c to 48 c. are these temps
ok?


2 - does anyone have any suggestions for a better overclock or temp
resolution?


thanks

Those are good temps for an overclocked Tbird core.

Temps are fine, and a 25% overclock is too. You might get a little more of
of it, but it's not worth the effort.

raise the voltage on the cpu and ram.Then try some more.
