    I have a gigabyte k8ns with a sempron 2600+ and a gig of 2100 ram overclocked to 333 mhz ... i'm new to overclocking ...i have it overclocked to 2ghz and my cpu voltage set on 1.475
    cpu temp is 34 c with a demon case 6 80 mm fans and 1 120 mm

    Do i need more voltage or less ? it seems to be runing pretty fast tho


    also is there any other tips you might have on this setup

    run some stability tests like Orthos (8+ hours with no errors USUALLY means its stable) If it fails, add a bit more voltage or back down the FSB.

    Have you read ACE256's OC guide here? check it out if ya haven't done so already

    Dont add any more voltage than you need. Id run Orthos and if its stable, drop the voltage a notch. If its still stable, go down again. Continue until you find the lowest voltage setting while its still stable. From there you can start upping the FSB again. If it becomes unstable, raise the voltage a notch. Just do that until you get it where u want it.

    What are your memory timings set at?

    whats stock speed for pc2100, I know that pc2700 is 333mhz and 3200 is 400mhz...Id drop the mem speed a bit, it will probably keep getting errors unless its high end good OCing memory. And I meant what are the TIMINGS set at, EX) 2.5-3-3-6 and so on

    those semprons can take up to 1.55v easy without much more heat. I can get nearly 1ghz extra out of my wife's sempron 2600+ by doin' that.
