Hi guys,
Just got a Thunderbird 1.2, 200fsb for my Falcon Mach V and have a question I hope you can answer. I am using bios 1003 which is the coolest running of the bioses, and was for my 900 TB I upgraded from. My problem is that my bios won't let me enable the "PCI Master Read Cache" with regular voltage which enables the chip to run about 10 deg.C cooler. It lets me enable it at the max 1.85 vcore (actual is 1.89), but with that much voltage the chip runs hotter than heck. Disabling "PCI Master......allows me to boot at normal voltage but stays on the hot side because of the lack of cooling that this setting provides. Also, it wont allow me to raise my FSB w/o freezing up, with "PCI enabled and w/o it enabled. I'm a little puzzled. Any ideas?......Maybe my power supply?...........I have a 300 watt so I don't think this is the problem. Like I said, my 900 TB ran w/o a hitch and let me up my FSB to pretty high levels. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Tom
