700E overclocking help

I just got a retail SL45Y from mwave.
I ran it at 100 bus speed for an hour then bumped it to 133 to see what it would do. I set the core volts at 1.70 and it posted and started going into windows. My motherboard started to beep at me, alternating high/low tones. I have no idea what the beeping noise is, I disabled the CPU temperature warning in bios and I don't see any other warnings in bios that would cause my motherboard to beep like it does. I haven't been able to get fully into windows but it runs fine in safe mode. All i have for cooling is at this point is the small Vanguard HSF.
The temp actually goes down on the CPU the higher I clock the CPU?!?! Is the sensor wrong or what?
What is my motherboard trying to tell me??

Yeah, I am sure I need more voltage. I am going to get a good HSF before I go higher. I am just confused what the alternating high/low tones that my MB is beeping. I have the PCI bus at 1/4 and AGP at 2/3, is there any problems at running a Geforce at 89mhz?
 
The Geforce of all cards should do 89MHz fsb. Your bios is squaking at you more than likely due to instability at that speed/voltage or possible problem with ram at that speed.
 
be sure to disable in bios the speed hold error, can't remember exactly what the call it somthing like that tho. sold the be6-2 a while back, be sure to disable this.
 
Wow, I fixed it!!
The Vantec SI5 heatsink I was using came off my Celeron 366 that I have been running at 581. It didn't put much pressure on the 700 chip and my temps were in the mid to high 50C range just running at 700.
I have a Pep66 on order but thought I would try the stock CPU that came with the chip. Temps dropped down to 40C at 700 so I bumped voltage to 1.75 and tried it at 933. So far it's completly stable and I'm in the high 40C range. The base of the stock heatsink is much thicker then the Vantec and it fits much tighter. Can't wait to get my Alpha.
