MSI 845Ultra-ARU NOT overclocking w/ 1.6A

[MaxBuzzKill]

Awright.. am I the only schmuck that can't get my MSI / 1.6A combo to overclock?

I have the board, a boxed retail 1.6A, a thermaltake mondo cooler and a stick of 512k PC2700 Mushkin memory... throw in a GF-440mx and a 3Com LAN card and I can NOT get this thing to boot with a FSB higher than 106. I am using onboard sound (yeah, I know...) but I have turned off the RAID controller.

No kidding... nothing higher than 106.

I've been dooin this stuff since the 300a's... I've set the V up to 1.65, I've neutered the memory (200 instead of 266), I've messed with all the BIOS options I can but it won't POST past 106.

Help? I feel left out!

Try killing everything that is not vital to the machine booting - I'm talking LAN and sound aswell. Now try it.

One thing to bear in mind is that some chips simply do not like overclocking

140fsb here since January. Everything enabled. What ps you have?

Check your ps. Take it strait to 133. It keeps the pci and agp at default. Up the voltage to get it to the default voltage of the core. Check the bios to see what the vcore is running at. Its probably .07 lower than what you have told it to run.
