Looking for stable settings for a P4S333

[sybertek]

I just got a P4S333 w/ 1.8A and wanted to know what oc settings any of you are using that have been stable.
I've got a 256MB Samsung PC2700 on the way and then I'll be firing her up.
This being my first build I didn't want to get to crazy with it.....yet.

Thanks in advance for any help/advice and info!

i changed the voltage jumper in the top left corner behind the ps2 ports
im at 136 fsb which is like 2448mhz stable as a rock.

Really? Just by changing the voltage? What do you have your frequencies set at (133/133, 133/166, 166/166 ...etc.)?

Be sure to get the 1004c BIOS update from ASUS's FTP site. It adds a 4:5 memory ratio for frequencies above 133MHz...essential if you have PC2700 RAM and want to overclock.

There is a 1004j BIOS newly available but I have no idea what it does. Wanna be a guinea pig? 😉

I like to force the memory ratio instead of leaving it on Auto. That way you can be sure the motherboard hasn't wimped out and run at 1:1. Up the DDR voltage from 2.5 to 2.7V using jumpers if necessary.

The +0.1V Vcore jumper seems to be the most accurate way of upping the CPU voltage, and has the added advantage of helping to avoid cold boot problems. If you use the BIOS instead then it only gives a rough estimate of how much juice is being added...turns out that for me upping the voltage by +0.1V in BIOS only really added 0.08V and changing the setting to +1.5V actually added 1.64V.

Thanks for the info! I might just have to try that latest update, but I think after I get 1004c installed and working. Then I'll guinea the new one. My ram should be here today... then the fun begins!
