My 2100+ barely overclocks

[calvink]

My second rig at home, is a 2100+ XP T-Bred B 0301 or 0302 (I forgot)... I can only get it to 1944 = 13.5 * 144 stable on a Soyo KT333 Dragon Lite. My vCore is 1.74V, it ran for 2 hours during a burn in test at 1998 = 13.5 * 144, but eventually reboot by itself. The temps are 42C on full load and 40C at Idle. The fastest I could get it to run a single benchmark is 2130 = 142 * 15 at 1.79V but then later it wouldn't even boot. I tried a ton of combinations of multiplyers and fsbs at vCore 1.79V. My 1700+ T-Bred B 0301 or 0302 is doing 12.5*141 2100+ with ease with only 1.60V. :-(

well your RAM is pc2100 so it could be holding you back

i believe it your pci devices limiting your overclock
i have the same motherboard as you(but only with RAID) and it doesn't have pci lock

My ram is running at 166 + (what my fsb is at - 133), so i think it's ok... It is Corsair 2700 Value. I agree with the pci divider though, that is the exact problem i'm having with my 1700+. With my 2100+ I was able to maintain 150fsb for a single benchmark, but not for long term stability. Please disregard my sig. 🙂 Did i get a dud?

Heh - welcome to the world of overclocking! It's never certain.
