Strategy

Per-MHz overclocking returns quickly recede as the K75 core approaches the gigahertz level. The Athlon K75 900 proves this rule, as most units from this speed grade will peak around 1000 MHz. Overclocking returns can scale upwards to the 1050 to 1000 MHz range for those willing to undertake more radical cooling procedures.
