E2200....

well my board is GA-p31-s3g with a E2200 2 gb crucial value ram @ 4-4-4-12 cr 2
EIST and C1E off fsb @ 334*9 highest i can get anything above that and bsod or cmos locks up... 337 highest fsb @ 6x... any suggestions ?
 
Yeah I know how it feels. My E6420 has trouble going past 3.00GHz. However, it will stay at that frequency and stay quite cool, so I'm not complaining too much.
 
Loosen your ram timings. Overclocked systems don't typically keep standard timings while not a default clocks. Add move voltage to your CPU and memory if you can.
 
well may max fsb on the board is 397 dunno if that's beacause of the chip but tried 6-6-6-18 and 7-7-7-21 and nothing over 397 lol well atleast it's stable @ 3GHz 1.55 vcore bios 1.52 cpu-z
 
ok can post @ 3.2 @ 1.575v reaches as far as the vista bootloader and then the hdd's dissapear lol.... wierd so i guess that's it 3.01-5 is the highest this cpu can go. is the fsb limited by the chip also ? because the board supports up to 400 fsb. ram was 5-5-5-15/18 and 6-6-6-18 default still no stability.
 
The Pentium Dual Core chips have been known to have FSB limitations that are not present with the fully fledged Core 2 Duo chips.
That could very well be where your limiting factor is.
 
could be but what's up with an E2180 speeding past my E2200 lol @ 3.4 ghz and that's not the one in SBT's sig
 
You're probably pushing FSB under 200 strap. Limited @330~340FSB with 200 strap is normal. It's certainly possible that the CPU has an FSB ceiling like others say, but it's very unlikely that M0 revision has such a low FSB ceiling from my experience.

Your board is one of the best at pushing FSB. Try switching different straps, and different multipliers.
 
err it's p31 chipset... i know it's capable but the chip is probably just a bad ocer. like AH said i lost the lottery lol...
