ok i have a athlon 2500, its 1.83 ghz and 333mhz fsb, on my mother board i have a fsb switch/jumpers it can be changed to 100mhz,133mhz,166mhz,and 200mhz if i swith my memory down to 133mhz and put my fsb to 200mhz that will be 400mhz ddr so my cpu will be 2.2 ghz overclocked lol. oh and i have a xp3400 ultra copper cooler on my 2500 with fresh thermal gel. thanks.... oh yea i havnt tried this yet lol would it work? any not a good ideas from you guys?
 
i have the same cpu, and i overclocked mine in the BIOS... don't mess with anything else. On my mobo, there's this option that let's you have the frequencies "user defined" and i can change the FSB by 1MHZ at a time.. Don't change any jumpers, and don't go directly to 200MHZ, unless you are confident in your cooling. What tempetures are you getting?
