1.8A 2.4 Limit question SL68Q

[pmow]

I tried looking for this info myself, but didn't see anything on it. I realized how to go past 2.25Ghz through reading, but I'm having some problems going above 133 (2400) on my 1.8A. I have a coolermaster fan, the nice one, Abit BD711, and a gig of 2700 DDR Corsair mem.

I'm thinking my problem is the memory holding me back. The mainboard won't post on 140 bus speed. I've tried changing the memory settings, to no avail. Any ideas? It also might be the Radeon 7500 64DDR I have in there, will confirm when I plug a fast sucker in there.

Current settings:
1:1 CPU: DRAM
VCORE+10% (1.62 actual at idle)
2.6V memory voltage (2.62 at idle)
memory: 2.5/3/3/7 (used settings from another user's post)
Serial/Parallel/Game/Midi disabled
AGP aperature: 128MB

My temps are the same at idle, 33-34C for the CPU, 35-36 for the mainboard. Prime95 ran all night, no errors. Ventilation is more than adequate. Please help! Sorry if I forgot a piece of info...

Try only with one stick of memory first and 1:1 CPU😀RAM ratio (as you are actually doing). Check your AGP😛CI speed - if possible use an AGP/PCI lock to be one the safe side (66/33 MHz), or manually in BIOS set the closest setting af the AGP/PCI divider to get the mentioned results. When you manag eto run your system at a higher speed you should try to lower the voltage, as I think that it shouldn't be so high. My 1.6A can work at default voltage at 2.4 GHz (150 BUS).

Sorry for the smileys, forgot that different combinations are making these - BTW, what's your motherboard?

Abit BD7-11.

Thanks, I'll try that, I did take out a stick to make it 512, but I'm not positive about the ram setting I had. The AGP to PCI ratio is kind of tricky, will report back after class.
