A newbie tries to overclock Duron 600 on A7V : me !

Hi,
So I'm a newbie in overclocking, I decided to boost my Duron 600 on A7V.

I first connected L1 bridges on the chip with a pencil as indicated

I first tried jumperfree, so JEN 2-3 , DSW switches all off, CPU core voltage all 3-4. Frequency multiplier is not available in bios so OK I set it manually with DSFID switches.
x6.5 boots
I set bus freq to 105 MHz, results in kernel panic. I guess the RAM did not followed the frequency ... ok back to 100MHz
I now tried 7x multiplier - box don't boot anymore, neither with 7.5x ans so on

I have read somewhere jumperfree is not working well, I then try manually.

I stay with 100MHz bus freq, setting multiplier to 7x. Don't boot

I try raising the cpu core voltage incrmentally ... not better

At this point I wonder if I did not miss something important to do ...

do you have any idea ?

Thanks in advance

Using a pencil is not the best method, and may be your problems. While I
got one to work with it for a while, it later failed. Redoing it with
conductive paint got it unlocked again. I could easily get 800MHz out of
my 600 Duron. It would top out at about 950MHz.

0.5mm pencil usually works fine, just go back over the bridges several
times.

My Duron 600 did 936mhz on my A7V @ 1.85v.
