How to increase voltages for overclocking?

[baltman]

hi i have an althonxp 2000+ running at a slightly higher fsb speed. instead of 133 mhz it's at 138mhz, giving me an overall performance boost from 1.67mhz to 1.73mhz. it runs stable at this point at constant and controllable temperatures. my mobo does not allow me to change the speed of the processor, only the fsb. it is an asus a7m266.

i would like to know if i can experiment with upping the voltages. is this something i can do in my bios, like with the fsb? or will i need to take apart my case and mess wtih jumpers - something i'm hesitant to start doing.

i've seen charts where people my processor have regularly gotten above 2ghz in raw clock speed. i don't want/need to go that fast but i'm having fun dabbling with minor overclocking adjustments.

thanks!

Go into BIOS.
Go over to the POWER section.
Adjust the VCORE voltage as you like.
Do NOT go more than 1 or 2 tenths of a volt!!!

reboot, after reading posts like this, im interested too. what would i have to do to overclock mine ?
asus a7v8x, athlon xp 2200+, 512 ddr 333.
explain in simple terms please, i dont want to blow up my system

Somewhere in BIOS there's usually an option to increase the VCore voltage.
Turn off any alarms, or the system may not boot. Asus is fussy, if the alarm goes off, the system quits.
Once you've increased voltage by 1 tenth, increase FSB until it's unstable, then back a bit. Check temps!!! Increase the voltage another tenth, check temps, increase FSB, check temps, oh, and did I mention to check the temps?
