I just put together an AMD K5 system using an Amptron PM-9800 motherboard with a 430TX chipset and 64MB of EDO memory. I read that most AMD K5 PR166 will only overclock to 3-4MHz extra. I decided to set the motherboard multiplier to 3x and just see if it would even boot up. To my amazement, the system has been totally stable with the voltage set to 3.52v. I have run then entire suite from Phils Computer Lab DOSBench package, memtest86 v4.3 and Windows 95 OSR2.5. I have not had any system crashes or freeze ups at all. My question at this point is should I keep the system running at 133MHz or put it back to 116.5MHz on the basis I could damage the CPU running it a the higher clock speed for an extended period of time.
