Specs:
Abit NF7-S bios 2.x
Athlon 2100+ (T-bred B DUT3C AIUHB 0301)
Corsair TWINX 1GB 3200 CL2 in dual channel
SK-7 + Vantec Tornado (temp never gets higher than 39 C)
Memory is always syncronized with FSB
AGP always locked at 66mhz (can't find settings for PCI freq.)
WinXP pro
I have my FSB from 133 to 166 running stable at 1.65v (.05 higher than default). At 185mhz Windows won't boot (tried all voltages up to 1.85v).
So I took it a step slower and upped the FSB up to 171 from 166 and it only ran stable some of the time. I tried increasing the voltage in .025 increments all the way up to 1.825. Often, right after I started Windows, I would get a blue screen with a bunch of mumbo jumbo (I can't understand what it's telling me) and would restart my machine automatically. Upon restarting I would get a warning that drive C: needed to be checked for errors and it would do it. Once it boots into Windows I would get a notice saying that it recovered from a serious error and that I should report it to M$. Sometimes the desktop just froze up before I could do anything. But sometimes none of that would happen. I even tried all these things with the multiplier knocked down to 11.0 (from 13.0 default) to see if that helped but nope.
When I try running 3Dmark2001SE at those settings it would sometimes crash to the desktop in the first loop. The strange thing is that I can run CPU Burn-in for half an hour and not get a problem. What does that mean? That my cpu is fine but the memory can't keep up? The memory is at the default voltage (2.6v) for it's default speed (200mhz - DDR400) and I'm not running it anywhere near it's limit. Should I mess with any other voltages like the chipset's?
I'm only getting 2.158Ghz out of this proc. Shouldn't I be getting more? I will be highly disappointed if I bought this expensive DDR400 for nothing.
