i was running athlon xp mobile 2600 on k7s5a pro. voltage modded. the processor is unlocked to multy 18 fsb 266. the motherboard refused to boot up and am thinking of getting new motherboard. i prefer asus. i 've put together water setup and want to squeeze this proc to the end. what do you think

dfi infinity or lanparty is the way to go for socket A.

Abit NF7-S rev 2.0 without a doubt.

K7s5a power circuitry can't take such a high clock.
I had one running a tbred @ 2333MHz, and it was crapping out, i was using 333FSB setting in windows. it wouldn't old 2400 in no way.

i had 2400+ with k7s5a before, max i could get was 2.2 ghz stable

i was running this proc at 2646 mhz at 2.15v with honeyX bios 147/147x18(i have unlocked the proc) 48C water cooling. i had cheap powmax PS 480watt rated but it start to smell. changed it with 550watt super flower. 2.2 volts is the max that i was able to hit before the overvolt protection kiks in. i installed heat sinks on the mosfet's and extra 60mm fan to blow over them but it's over yet. this board served me well long time

2.2 should net you way more MHz than 2.6. Hopefully on an Infinity or NF7-S 2.0 you'll see better results.

Lucky you! I had one of the first revisions.
Try setting 133 in bios and using 166MHz thru speedfan.
I could do it, and it was stable, but had to use cas 2.5-7-4
