Strategy

The Palomino 1400-MHz core is marketed under the 1600+ designation for both the Athlon MP and XP series of processors. Overclocking falls in line with expectations; this core is capable of operation exceeding 1600 MHz. While the factory-supplied heatsink can often push this processor an additional 50 to 100 MHz, a quality aftermarket cooler should always be installed when pushing beyond 1600 MHz, especially if any increase in core voltage is required.
