FSB MOD Guide Wanted

I've been told many times by Thrax or Mackanz that by changing my 1800 to 166 fsb stock would allow my chip to reach 220+. Also, I was told when i had my barton that if I did a 166->133 mod I could get the fsb higher as well.


If anyone has the time and wants to do me a very large favor please make a guide on how to do this, preferably with pictures.

Until then, I'll be-a-googlin,
Al

    AL,

    Larry has a good picture similar to the back of my mainboard where it is the easiest spot to do the mod IMO. Can you post it again Larry?

    Damn, wish I didn't suck at this. Anyone know of any more "professional" or visual guides that are easier to follow?

    AL,

    There is several things to do. But you need to have luck, soldering skills and patience. You need to vmod all the lines, you need to have as much as 3.3-3.5 volt on the memory,,add .3 above that on the 3.3 line. Trial and error is the way...i have blown a few boards so far and that's what you have to count for.

    But vmem and 3.3 line is VERY important along with a 166 fsb cpu, good memory (2X256), beefy psu and good cooling.

    I just got a confirmation that a prometeia is on it's way. Hopefully i can have a 2.7-2.8 gig Barton in the end.

    Why so much voltage on the memory? You need that much to keep it stable? :eek2:

    Depends how high you want to go. The NF7 does 230-240 stock, which isn't what i call a serious overclock. With more juice, that system can reach much higher. That's what it's all about.

    Besides, i always use max voltage on memory since it doesn't hurt in any way. Not for my sticks at least.
