AthlonXP 2400+

[toniaxp]

I have a computer with an AMD Athlon 2400+ and am wondering how far I can OC without it melting down on me. Currently it runs at 2Ghz with a load temp of 52C using only stock cooling and and 3 case fans. Does anyone have experience overclocking this chip....how high of a stable OC have you achieved?

You could probably get it a 2600+ but you might need better cooling

i'm not sure about the 2400, but i had the 2800 oc'ed at 2.8ghz with a running temp of ~40c.

your 52c is too hot, i recommend you buy a more advanced cooler, or give your cpu some breathing room.

if you don't care about the well-being of the cpu, i say you can get up to 2.3 ghz before you blow a hole through your mobo.
