I can't get anywhere with mine. If I clock my 2600 to 2800 (2.25) it runs sluggish and usually crashes. I have watercooling :evil:

Well the VIA 400 only supports 333FSB but I think the 400A supports 400FSB. Maby if you go with the 400A, 600 or Nforce2 (2nd revision) then you should get 2300Mhz+ easy. Also check the 12v rail on your PSU. Did you wire trick it to unlock it?? as a locked CPU will not let you raise the FSB as high as a unlocked CPU will.
And last check your ram run www.memtest86.com on it, but only 1 strip in at a time.
What wire trick...explain!

You take a small section of wire (i like to use the wire inside of and old IDE cable) and you connect the 2 pins that is marked in the picture. The good thing about this is that there is no cutting of the bridges and if you overclock and burn up your CPU AMD cant tell you overclocked it :D but and it only unlocks multipliers 12.5 and lower.

No, I havne't. I really haven't had the time to do it yet. Sign up for our forums!

sorry forgot to log in that way my post. Oh well when/if you try it let us know how it goes.
I definately will...seems interesting. I thought that thoroughbreds were factory unlocked though
I believe it goes 2000+ and lower are unlocked and 2100+ and higher are locked.
