OC'ing a 2500+?

[Monstermunch]

Thinking of buying a new system in a few months but for the time being would like to try and clock my CPU.

I have tried a couple of times before but each attempt ended with me having to hard reset the bios, which is a pain in the ****!

Please see my sig for details.... Any help greatly appreciated!

what exactly did you do?

tbh don't really remember, it was a while ago. Got some advice from the forums here but the first step resulted in the hard reset.

Help to refresh my memory and I can probably tell you exactly what happened.

one prob i can see if your ram. pc2700 (166fsb)

your 2500 is 166fsb * 11 multi.

therefore if you wanna go over 166 fsb, better ram will help a lot

ive got my 2500 upto 235 using some pc3500 ram

If I remember correctly I tried to reduce the multi to 10x. this resulted in the system lockup and hard reset of the bios.
