Epox EP-8KTA3 over clocking question with Duron 700

[dawber]

Hello,

I have a AMD Duron 700 that is running @ 1000mhz and is stable. 1 of 15 reboots does not go in to Windows 2000, of 60 shutdowns, so I can live with that, but cannot figure why my AGP, PCI, and ISA are running so high. I am running the 700 @ 1000 by 133x7.5 and leaving the PCI/SPREAD spectrum at default? My AGP is @ 90Mhz, PCI is @ 44Mhz and the ISA is @ 11Mhz. The CPU according to SiSoft Sandra is @ 39.5 degrees Celcius, so I'm not sure why my FSB is so high. Any suggestions? I has the cas @ 2 and the bank interleave @ 4 also.

Sounds to me like your motherboard's southbridge is not set up to divide the main FSB by four to get the AGP, PCI and ISA slots down to their normal FSB speeds. This was the case with the BX boards in the days of Pentium II. The board was really good it just wasn't specifically designed for 133 MHz FSB even though it would run it, it meant you were also overclocking AGP, PCI, etc. If your cards are running at the higher FSB and are stable I don't see why it would be a problem.
