Setting the voltage to 1.70 seems to have cured all my problems with this system. I have not been able to reproduce the audio problem since going to the higher voltage. Also the system has been running for two and a half days without a reboot. And that is after hours of RTCW, hours of C&C...

I have also had sound issues at a 133fsb on a P4B266 with a 1.6a cpu. Mine was making a screeching/buzzing sound through my speakers with the onboard audio or with a SB Live card. After the noise started the system would lock up or reboot in a few seconds. As per tips from other posters here I...

>>Nate420<< I had tried running with the voltage set at 1.600 and 1.625 and was getting system reboots and a wierd screeching/buzzing sound through my speakers. I disabled on board sound and installed a SB Live card and would still get the sound just before the system rebooted. I don't remember...

Well, after going with one mem stick, setting mem voltage to 2.6, unplugging USB devices to boot @ 133fsb and setting cpu volage to 1.7, the system has been running for almost 24 hours now (@2.13ghz) with no problems. I have played several hours of Serious Sam:SE at 1024x768 32bit max quality...

The spacer I referred to was the foil strip on the heatsink. >>Nate420<< Thanks for the tip on the USB devices. Unplugged them and booted right up at 133mhz. I pulled one mem stick and set mem voltage to 2.6. Again thanks. Also thanks to everyone else. I am going to try out some of the ideas...

In answer to the questions: The bios was updated using the Asus windows based update that automatically loads the newest bios. I did run the mem at 2.6 volts once, but that was after the system quit posting at 133mhz. I am using the retail fan, but I removed the black metal film and applied...

After reading all the good news about 1.6A overclocking I decided to replace a dead system with one instead of a nice Athlon. What a mistake that was. I bought a 1.6A Northwood (retail), an ASUS P4B266 mobo, an Antec PP352X 350 watt dual fan power supply, a Radeon 8500 (retail box) video card...

To get the overclock settings you need to run a bios patch. I have mine running at 138 / 138 and use two sticks of the Crucial 256 meg chips and the same memory settings you posted. This web sight is the best place for K7S5A info. You can get the patch here also...

I have a TBird 1.4 running at 102F at idle and 109F after playing Serious Sam: The Second Encounter @ 1024 x 768 32bit. May not be scientific but it is real world use. The case temp is 73F. Nothing fancy, just a Fong Kai 603 (reviewed here a long time ago) unmoded except for the removal of the...

I have a shiny new CUSL2 board that will not boot at 133/133/33, and from what I'm seeing on the ASUS web sight, I'm not alone. I took two P3 550E cpu's that ran @ 733mhz in two different ABIT VT6X4 boards at 1.65 core volts, and tried both of them in the CUSL2 board. they would not even post at...
