So out of the blue, I decided that I'll give overclocking a try. Why? I don't know. Just because. I know that Overclocking can kill a CPU because it can run hotter, but I'm sure with the proper precautions and some conservatism I can overclock my CPU safely. I'm wondering if any of you has had experience with overclocking and AMD K6-2 400 safely. I'm also interested to know about the stability of overclocked K6-2's with FreeBSD. I heard that overclocked CPU's become less stable. I have a FIC PA-2013 motherboard and I was looking at the 105 (bus speed) * 5.0 (multiplier) combination to get me to 525Mhz. That's a 125Mhz differnce in CPU speed and a 5Mhz difference in bus speed (which might affect the PCI/AGP bus speeds as well). I would assume that this is a conservative value. Although, maybe someone more experienced would let me know if it would work or not. Maybe I shouldn't even bother. Opinions, Tips, Advice are welcome.
