Im looking to Overclock one the Current PC I have and I need some Help and ExpED People to give meh Suggestions

Right Now im using a "Asus P4B266-C Motherboard"

Its at 1900mhz 100mz FSB (19 x 101) Normaly
With a Core Voltage of 1.750V

The Max it will suposivly let me go is 2600mhz-Ish
(But I have Yet to try it and I wont)

Im looking to get it at 2.1Ghz or 2.3Ghz (Or Around there)
I put the FSB to 113mz witch is 2.1Ghz without switching the Vcore Voltage and it Stablely Started up , But after 5 or so Mins at the Desktop the PC Rebooted itself obiously due to the Voltage/watts not being switched Up.

What I need to know or would like to know is if to Overclock this CPU Speed Up if I need to Make the Vcore Any higher without frying it or w.e. (Or if thats the Problem to Begin with) to get it up to 2.1Ghz-ish

If you know how to id really be greatful if ya let me know how. And what to do.

Stepping your voltage up to the next level available on your BIOS should not harm your CPU. I do not have any experience OC'ing intel chips, but my experience with AMD is that if I put too much voltage or raised the FSB too high, the system would not post, protecting itself instead. If this happens to you, just reset the BIOS and try some lower settings.

keep monitoring the CPU temp and voltages while clocking, stress the comp to the max using whatever program, like seti or UD agent. If temp is below the 60 degrees, (depends on the core, u can find specs at intel) it should be all fine. If it does not run stably either voltage is not enough, voltage is unstable (usually the powersupply unit cant pull the voltage or an inferior motherboard, Asus is usually quite ok). Or its just the max of the CPU. I usually get them at around 30-35% more speed. Also clean the fan/sink regularly, dust tends to accumulate in the heat sink.

what vidio card and ram do you have?

that small increase wont amount to much.
