bought the Xp3000+ Barton, and I want to overclock it. When I first bought it, the BIOS had the FSB set to 133mhz, which set the CPU to a xp1800+ at 1.75GHZ. I noticed this and set the FSB to 200mhz and now it recognizes the CPU of xp3000+ at 2.10GHZ. I want to get this higher, alot higher, so how do I go about overclocking this properly? I am getting the Thermaltake Extreme Volcano 12 HSF tonight, also im gettin 2 more 80mm fans so I will have total of 4. So can you guys tell me how to properly overclocking the cpu? thanks.

Its probably multi locked so just increse the fsb untill it starts to get unstable then back it off a few mhz. The FAQ should explain all
This is what i looked at, the fsb is set to 200mhz. Im gonna get that higher when my volcano 12 hsf comes in, ordered it lastnight so sohuld be in soon. I was looking in the bios and I saw CPU Thermal Throttling, what is this, last time I chcked it it wa 50%. SHould I leave this alone? What should I change besides te FSB?
