Can someone help me out... I have any Asus P4B533-E with 1x512 1x256 of DRR2100 Ram with a Geforce 4 TI 4200 128MB with a 1.8A northwood chip ... every thing that i have read said that overclocking a 1.8 to 2.4 so really EZ just useing the stock Cvolt and Fan...i can only get it up to 2.1 with have the on broad Sound,Lan,Fireware on if i turn them off i can get up to 2.25...I think i have try everthing...i have try diff FSB speeds and diff Cvolts....but i can get it to boot at a FSB of 133...What should i do 🙁
 
What is wrong with a 2250mhz cpu?

That is 450 mhz free from what you bought.
 
I have try removeing 1 stick of ram and the samething happens... (2250mhz is not bad, but the idea of overclocking is to get as much as you can get out of it i was hopeing for a 2700mhz.. but as a Min i wasted 2400mhz)

If you haven't already, check out my thread here, I'd be happy to answer any questions if I'm able........🙂

 
Ok i just when out and got myself the Asus P4B533 (no E) and the samething is happening🙁...i really did have time to look at it but can you guy give me any tips of where to start...?
 
ok please give me a very complete list of your bios settings.

in other words - grab a pen and paper and write them down. we need to get this part out of the way before going further.

id still rather you only use 1 stick of ram for now. (in slot 1)

its either bad ram or some stupid bios setting. (most likely bad ram)

get back to me 🙂
 
Wouldn't some utility to print out bios options be great?? I hate typing in all that stuff.
every thing that i have read said that overclocking a 1.8 to 2.4 so really EZ just useing the stock Cvolt and Fan

Not every CPU is the same. Some need more Vcore to get up to 2.4. Some may not make it at all. How high a Vcore have you tried?
 
better yet oldfart ~ i dont remember which company, but there is amotherboard that can enter the bios thru software from windows and make changes on the freakin fly! (the board itself prolly sux but the idea is awesome)

:Q

Once again ppl are asuming that if they buy a P4 there gonna have "sure" overclocker.........2.2 is avg for the cpu, 2.8 is lucky. Run sandra......is that XP2000 faster than yours?😉

Yes the XP2000 is Faster 🙁....

I can tell you all my settings rignt know...(I'm at work) but i can tell you about the CPU

P4 1.80AGHz
System Bus 400MHz, 512KB L2-Cache, PGA-478 Pkg
PROD CODE: BX80532PC1800DSL63X
FPO# 3208A711
VER. A78297-003
PACKDATE: 05/01/02

And my Ram is DRR 266 CL=2(i really do not know what the CL is)
 
Why is everbody use the P4 1.6GHz and not the P4 1.8GHz can't you get higher overclocking useing the 1.8GHz? or is it that the 1.8GHZ cost more...?
 
ok...Here are my setting
BIOS SETTINGS:
CPU/Memory Ratio = 1:1
DDR Voltage = 2.6v
AGP Voltage = 1.5v
AGP/PCI Freqency Setting = 66.6/33.3
USB Legacy Support = Disabled
SDram Config = 2/2/2/6
SDram Idle Timer = Infinite
Graphics Aperture Size = 128mb (same as vid card memory)
Video Memory Cache Mode = UC
Delay Transaction = Disabled
Serial/Parallel Ports = Disabled
PCI Latency Timer = 32
USB Controllers = Disabled

it the same as THUGSROOK..
So i started out EZ i take the FSB up to 110 (1.98GHz) and everthing boot fine i ran Sandra to see how i was doing but i didn't run anything to see how stable it was..so after run Sandra i restarted and up the FSB to 120(2.16GHz) and it boot up fine...so i ran Sandra.. i run fine as well...so i when to restart the computer and it would not power back up...I turn it on and off about five times and nothing but the power LED and the IDE LED come on....I just sat there think what happen.....so i try turning it on one more time and it come back on...and when right in to the BIOS and said that the 120 FSB was not working...I try boot with the 120 FSB and i boot right up in to windows and i run Sandra..i restarted fine and when back in to the BIOS and up the FSB to 130...when i try to boot nothing happen it was doing the samething that i was doing before..it would boot at all and i couldn't get to the BIOS..I wait about 15 min (a littie longer then i wait before) and i try to power it up....NOTHING... :-( so i when and eat some food... and about an hour pasted and i try to turn it on...it boot right in to BIOS and said the the 130 FSB was not working...so i try 125 (which i could do on the ASUS P4B533-E) and the samething happen....after wait around i setting everthing back to the wait it was boot back up at 1.8GHz and play some RTW....

WHAT SHOULD I DO.....
Is it the CPU or the ASUS P4B533 or the RAM?

oh here are the score for Sandra
18x100=1.80GHz CPU=3532 MEM=1531
18x110=1.98GHz CPU=3869 MEM=1672
18x120=2.16GHz CPU=4205 MEM=1822 (first time)
18x120=2.16GHz CPU=4229 MEM=1821
 
you did try more voltage right? alot more voltage? all the voltage?

dont use my ram settings - change it to SDram Config = 2.5/3/3/7

the only other thing i could possibly think of -
and this really shouldnt work -
but i guess it needs to be tried -
enable the overvolt jumper on the board. (left side of CPU)
 
every thing that i have read said that overclocking a 1.8 to 2.4 so really EZ just useing the stock Cvolt and Fan...i can only get it up to 2.1

Getting to 2.1ghz on default voltage is still pretty good,if you want 2.4ghz you'll have to up the voltage.
 
of course it could be the chip - you make it sound like it has a disease and you should get rid of it :Q

whats wrong with adding some vcore? or enabling the overvolt jumper?
i know we might make it seem so easy in here - but its not 😉

you think 166fsb is easy? right now only 7 "known" ppl on AT are running 166+fsb 100% stable.
(soon to be 8 cause i sold one - hehe)
