The K7 550 MHz processor further extends the power threshold with a 46-watt peak power demand. As with any K7 chip, cooling is a concern. A quality aftermarket cooler should be installed before you attempt any overclocking beyond 50 MHz, especially when you are bumping core voltages beyond 1.8 volts. Average overclocking for the K7 500 is in the 600 to 700 MHz range.
