i am waiting on the last piece of the puzzel as i bought a KT7A for £5 as my Gigabye GA-7IXE4 can only go up to 115 Mhz on the FSB and doesnt provide multi settings (i dont want to hardware oc just yet), i have the cpu lying about so figured i may aswell put it to good use and see how far it goes.
I have got my traditionally overkill heatsink, the stock fan off a Athlon XP 3200, but will probably use a coolmaster fan for a 2ghz socket A
and some old gear i dont mind losing
(might even mod my Zalman Flower to fit a socket A for entertainments sake ^^)
I am aiming for 1Ghz+ as reading various articles it seems that is the average max found by people without any hardware moddifications bar unlocking the processor.
Is there anything i should watch out for which people have found over the years? or is it pretty straight forward
Yes i chickened out of taking my opteron any further, i just dont feel comfortable pushing a grands worth of gear to breaking point
