Athlon 850 won't go any higher than stock speed...why??

[stockjock]

I have a GFD and have used it before on a different processor. I have since bought an Athlon K7 850. I have removed the cover and installed the GFD tried to goto 900 first at 1.8v..but no go..it locks in WinME at the startup...so I move up the voltage by .5 until it post. Well I got all the way to 2.05v and it still locked. I did the cache thing too, moved it 1/3 and after that didn't work I tried 2/5 and still nothing....Any ideas???

Maybe you need better cooling, or maybe your chip just won't run any faster than that.

I have great cooling for it. I'm using an Alpha P7125, which is supposedly one of the best HS/F for the Slot A.

does your GFD work at the stock speed of 850mhz?

you know..I haven't tried that yet..I guess it could be the problem...I will try it when I get home.
