I bought an AMD Athlon XP mobile 3000+ DTR processor to try building a gaming rig that I could overclock. Here's the system:<p>
<p>
AMD Athlon XP mobile 3000+(DTR)
Asus A7N8X-E deluxe bios 1012
Corsair TwinX1024-3200XL OR Kingston KHX1024-4000K2
WD Raptor 74gb sata drive
Maxtor 250gb sata drive
BFG GeForce6800 Ultra OC
Ultra X-Connect 500W PSU
Thermaltake Xaser III case
Thermaltake Volcano 12 HSF
Windows XP Pro SP2<p>
<p>
Now I know the multiplier on this CPU is unlocked, but the FSB just does NOT want to go any higher(stock 133). This thing seems rediculous. I've tried raising the Vcore voltage. I've tried relaxing the latency even though I shouldn't have to(the memory is underclocking now anyway). The farthest I've gotten was dropping the multiplier from stock setting of 14 to 13, and raising the FSB from 133 to 142. I thought I finally figured it out, when it crashed again after raising the FSB to 145. I've tried every combination of variables I can think of between the Vcore, FSB, multiplier, etc... and still can't seem to overclock this bitch at all. If anyone out there has a system built on one of these chips that is overclocked, please let me know. Thanks. :frown:
