AMD Duron 1.3 Ghz Overclocking

[ABDIEL]

Hello , I Have a old Amd Pc With Msi Board , i Am Getting really Frustated with Regard to Overclocking . Can You Tell is it possible to oveclock My Duron 1.3ghz on ms-6367n2 ? or I Have to Leave With it As it is , Thank in You In Advance For your Replies

the L1 bridges on this CPU are already connected. What does this mean? Well, it means that all Athlon Tbirds with a CPU speed of 1200MHz (1.2GHz) and above are shipped with the multiplier unlocked, so don't bother pencilling the L1-bridges anymore, AMD has already done this for you

On thing I gotta tell you, is that, with a maximum thermal dissipation of no less than 71W, this 1.3GHz Athlon generates A LOT of heat even when running at stock speed. And because we don't want the cooling to act as a bottleneck here, I decided to keep the temperature on this baby down to a minimum by using a Vantec FCE 62540D sporting the 60mm Delta Fan blowing about 38CFM of air

After doing some experimenting with all kinds of different multiplier & FSB settings, I found this CPU to be stable at 1470Mhz (or 1.47GHz) using a multiplier of 10x, the FSB set to 147Mhz and a core voltage of 1.85v. I even did some more testing to check if the CPU couldn't be kept stable if I pushed the CPU speed even further but I found out that this CPU cannot handle this kind of torturing because I had 2 major crashes by attemping to reach the 1.5GHz barrier

hello , To be able to overclock using that board, you'll need to flash to the Cheepoman overclocking BIOS I tried to use 110Mhz FSB, it bootup, but stucked when loading windows 98, saying this some error stuff and crap, but then when I lower back to 100Mhz, it works fine. I was suprised that my PC100 CL2 RAM runs flawlessly under 133Mhz CL3, stable, no crash no nothing. I didn't increase the voltage at all. My goal is to reach 1.5Ghz. But now im stucked with 103Mhz FSB

Seeing as the Duron is based off of the aging Morgan core, and combining that with the fact that it is still made using an .18-micron process, there shouldn't be too much headroom left with the sample we have today. We've already seen the Athlon line hitting a wall at the 1.4-1.5GHz barrier (hence the new Athlon XP). Some lucky samples go a bit faster, but most don't budge too much. God bless die shrinks! Unfortunately the 1.3GHz Duron was not lucky enough to be shrunk. We tried to push the CPU up a decent amount, but we couldn't manage to get it stable over 1400MHz, instead we had to settle with close enough - 1396MHz. Needless to say, we weren't surprised by the results. What we can't wait to get our hands on are some of the newer Athlon XP 1600+ CPUs. Those things cost a handful of dollars more than the Duron 1.3GHz, and they have tons of headroom that can be exploited.
