? about memory timings. I have a good OC but its at normal timings.

[eno]

I am semi new to the overclocking world. I know about the unlocking of the Xp's and how to play with the multiplyer to get best FSB and CPU clock speed. What I do not know much about is the memory timings in my bios. Here is my system

Antec Performance Plus 860 (3intake 80mms/2 outtake 80mms/PCI outtake)
Epox 8K5Aseries2
Athlon Xp 1600+ OC 2200+( AX-7 and SmartFAN2 174FSB at 41c full load [1.9vcore])
Corsair PC3200 512mb (+.3v dimm)
Leadtek Geforce4 Ti4400 (OC 305/625) 30,82 drivers
IBM 60gig 7200rpm
Audigy OEM
Klipsch 4.1 Promedia

Now I notice when I put my fsb up to 176 it runs fine 90% of the time. But after I run the Unreal2003 benchmark for 15mins or so it seems to reboot on me. That is at 1.95/2.0/2.05vcore. I have a AGIOA core with great case/cpu temps. Always under 42c cpu when house is warm. Now the CPU is locked so do you think messing with my timings would help any? What should I do in that area. Ask questions if I didn't give ya some key info.

WOW thats high for a Vcore!!!

i wouldent run it at that setting for very long if you like your CPU
im gonna say teh reason it crashes is cause it inst stable at that high a FSB no matter what the Vcore just back it down a lil and it should be fine. also could have a problim runnin teh PIC bus at that high a speed also

.18 Micron AMD cpu's are still in the safe zone at 2.0v if the temps are under control. Over 2.0v you could possibly be getting into the region of shortened cpu life. You are pushing the AGIOA core pretty hard, mine runs about the same. It will run 1750 at default voltage, to reach 1800MHz I have to increase to 1.80-1.85v, and to hit 1850 stable I have to go up to 2.05v. I would suggest backing off to 1750-1800MHz, plenty of cpu power. If you want a little more fsb performance you will have to unlock that cpu. 167 x 10.5 at probably 1.75-1775v for 1753MHz still sounds like awesome performance, and you could put your case fans on a 7volt mod as well as slow down the cpu fan and still stay under 50c easily. My main system is set up this way and it is very quiet.

You need to test your system stability by running Prime95's torture test. If Prime95 won't run for 10 hours without an error, its not 100% stable.
