Calling on the P3V4X experts....Optimize BIOS setting for Asus P3V4X.....

[nEoTeChMaN]

What is the correct BIOS setting for P3V4X to overclock well?

Here is the components I have:

Asus P3V4X
PIII 650Mhz cBo stepping with Alpha PEP66
128MB PC-133 Mosel chip (156Mhz/161Mhz CAS2/CAS3)
13GB Fujitsu HD 7200 2MB ATA66
Creative Lab GeForce2 GTS

P3V4X and Geforce will be arriving soon.

Thanks in advanced.

I'm no expert, but I tell about my setup.

I don't do too much from the standard setup. I find that my 550e runs more stable and at a lower voltage if I tell the system that it is a 733 rather than use the manual setting & select 133mhz fsb. I can run it stable up to a 144mhz bus. Above 133mhz, I set my ram to 8ns & keep the ratio at 1/1. It works better for me than having the ram timing faster & going to the 4/3 divider. at 733mhz I run 1.70 volts on the CPU. When I'm pushing a 144mhz bus, I need 1.8 -1.85 volts & it runs real hot (even with the golden orb & 2 other case fans). I can get it windows stable at a 146mhz bus, but it will lock up on 3d mark 2000. I am able to run the AGP at 4X (needed the newest nvidia drivers to get that to work). Use your asus probe to monitor the temperature of your CPU while under load. If you push it too far & it fails to post, do a hard boot while holding the escape key -- this will undo your last CMOS change.

Just make sure you run your ram as fast as it can on CAS2. make sure ratio is 1/1. That's about it. Everything else isn't worth the bother.

I was planning on flashing it to 1.005 and use 4-1 VIA driver 4.23.
It that ok?
