OC'ing CPU

I've got an Asus A7V333 mobo and I was wandering if I could overclock my
2400+ just a little. If so, how? I have PC-3000 memory. I've never OC'd
before.

If it is an unlocked CPU just adjust the multiplier, and vcore if needed
for stability. Multiplier x Bus = CPU MHz

"A7V333 overclock" (first hit)

Overclocking on this board was a dream. We unlocked our AMD Athlon XP
1600+ CPU and lowered the clock multiplier down so we could see just
what the highest FSB obtainable was. We got 164MHz before our system
started to play up. This is quite an achievement, but CE revisions are
getting 180+MHz, so we can see how CD limits us in some aspects.

As for overclocking features, ASUS' standard features are here. You have
FSB adjustments in 1MHz increments in the BIOS or a limited number via
dipswitches. Vcore can be adjusted from 1.1v to 1.85v in the BIOS or
from 1.7v to 1.85v via dipswitches. VDIMM is changeable from 2.5v to
2.7v via dipswitches only. No AGP voltage changes are available on this
board and not likely to be in the future.

Do a Google. ;p

Thats Handy for overclocking, it runs best at 366 ~183 Mhz
With *very minimum latency settings at that speed, but with its non
standard designation it might be cranky at others.

a7v333 cant do the fsb to match it,
0verclocked, hot+hungry, perhaps - but stable would be ~flukey~
I think the bios does let mem run faster than fsb,
Odds are the memory shouldnt mind running a quarter
slower than its specced for, nice and cool even.
Then crank unlocked cpu up to about 40C ( >1500, <2000Mhz)
