41.6Mhz PCI too much?

[Colt45]

well at default voltage i can only get my celeron to 83FSB (41.6 PCI)
am i going to have problems from this?
data coruption? or what?

im using the onboard IDE and SCSI.
my netwrok card is ISA..

thanks in advance for any input

Yes. Your computer will explode violently. Please set your FSB to the lowest setting possible immediately.

hmm... thats pretty high, but dont thinik dangerous... start out lower, and raise lil by lil... then you will be safe

Anything over 37 gives me sleepless nights.

Run the system like that for a while and if nothing bad happens, it's probably ok. However, it's really pushing the PCI spec, I've destroyed a HD a while back running too high a bus speed. Personally, I wouldn't do it, stability and equipment reliability is infinitely more important than that extra speed increase.

 

[ugh]

Uhh... That's quite high IMO. Last time I had my Celeron to 130 FSB my CD burner couldn't burn anything... But all the rest of my stuff worked fine though.

40MHz is my safety limit but you may get lucky & have no problems at that speed!

I'd be most concerned with corrupting data on my hard drive more than anything else. That's a bit higher than i'd be willing to stay running at, not to mention it's not too likely your rig will stay stable running the pci that high anyhow.

maxtor's line of drive dont seem to like anything higher then 37.5mhz pci bus. if you're using anything else you might be ok like seagate, WD, IBM. but you'll know if suddenly windows does a registry replacement after a few reboot.

I've used 44Mhz PCI bus for about a year, but then again, I'm slightly mad. That's the only way I can use my pIII-1000 on a BX board. The hard disks can be a problem, my old 6.4Gb WD drive didn't like that speed, but my 30Gb Seagate BarracudaII drive is OK (most probably because it's a UDMA66 disk). The philips 2x2x6 CD writer is OK too, but I don't know what will happen with newer faster burners.

That is a tad high. I wouldn't run it like that for very long. The biggest possible problem in my opinion is data corruption on the harddrive. I have mine at 37.5 right now, I'm not interested in going any higher. I would see if you can take advantage of using a 1/3 divider as opposed to the 1/2 divider. I would rather run my PCI bus below sped than above spec by that much.

 

[r0tt3n1]

Bovinicus is right, set the divider to 1/3 instead if possible. What board r u using anyway? Undeclocking the PCI bus to 27-28 should have no noticable degradation in every day apps. But then you could increase the core voltage a tad and get the FSB even higher!!!!! The nifty increase in FSB should more than make up for it!!

 

[boyRacer]

I swapped out my old 1000EB for a 1000E just because i didnt wanna run my array at 160fsb/40PCI... probably silly of me since i just lost cash by not going with the 1000E in the first place.

 

[oldfart]

I dont like to go higher than 37 - 38. 41.6 is up there. I would back it down to 75 FSB if you want to be safe.

That's buldging eyes, drooling kind of mad.

i've run at 42.5 for a while, and the only thing that happened is that once every few days, id lose my connection to the network and have to reboot to get it back. that was with a linksys network card. other than that, it ran perfectly. (i had a maxtor hard drive)

 

[Colt45]

okay, thanks for the input guys.

i can't get a 1/3 divider by jumpers, and theres no setting in the BIOS.
so until i get a slocket with voltage adjustment i'm just turning it up to 83fsb with softfsb when i want to emulate N64, and then i slow it back down when im done the game.

thanks again!

edit: forgot to add that the board is an A-Trend 6260 dual slot1 BX mobo.
i have another celly im going to put in once my dual celly slockets come, so im hoping for dual
400@600!, im not sure they will make it though.
