Grrr... can't o/c as high with my new Epox 8K7A!

Why is that? I had Iwill KK266 and did 1.4GHz no problem, but now I can run only 1.35GHz before registry errors pop up I have 1Ghz T-Bird originally. Could it be ASII? I added some on the T-Bird before I put it in the motherboard.

Could be an AS issue, how do your temps look?

Also, I heard disabling API or whatever can help you OC a lot higher on the 8k7a (I haven't tried that yet)

Speeds will typically vary from board to board. Maybe you need to try 1.95v and 2.5DDR voltage?

 

[LukFilm]

Not really worth increasing the voltage from 1.85V to gain 50 more MHz, but I'll try disabling ACPI (I think). What does it do anyway?

 

[Renob]

what volts are you running your ram??? if you have it at default TURN in up..

definately try upping the ddr voltage a bit if you are overclocking the fsb. i haven't had a whole lot of success overclocking my crucial pc2100 while using "fast" ram timings. try isolating the cpu by running it at 11*130 (1430) or 10.5*133 (1396) just to make sure it's not something else holding you back
