I'm running an Athlon XP 2100+ 1733 mhz @ 1950 mhz
Asus A7N8X mobo running 1002.A bios
512 Crucial PC 2700 DDR
Vantec Aeroflow TMD HS/Fan @ 5600 rpm
Powerup 350w ps from an Enermax Case
Windows XP Pro
13 mult x 150 fsb
6-2-2-2 ram timings
1.68 vcore @ 30c idle
Now I've tinkered with the bios a bit and I can't quite seem to figure out why I can't up my fsb to 166 or above. I read that people are setting their fsb up to 200+, and while I don't think my ram can withstand that high fsb, I don't see why my computer restarts when I set my fsb to 166 with my mult at 12.5 or 13.
It isn't a temperature issue, as I've never seen my cpu go over 35. Is it a voltage issue? Perhaps my ram timings are a bit too low for the proposed overclock?
I once set my fsb up to 200 with a mult of 10...and that was one of the more interesting things I've seen memory check and bios do. The memory check and such was replaced with a screen full of multicolored symbols, and bios came up as a blue screen of nothing. Any suggestions would be welcome...sucks being a newbie. Thanks in advance!
