I have a p3 700. I was running it a default voltage and speed because I'm waiting on my peltier/alpha to arrive. Well I decided to give o/c a shot and tried to get it to 933. I finally got it stable at 933/1.85v. Not stellar but decent. Hoping to push the voltage down to 1.8 or 1.75 when the alpha and peltier get here. Temps right now max at 46c at full load.
See this was just a test to see how the chip would perform. So then I clocked it back down to normal, undid the bios settings I changed (pci divider, voltage, fsb, etc) and rebooted. This thing is SO UNSTABLE now. Kept crashing like every 5 minutes. I finally wanted to see if I hosed this thing somehow and bumped it back to 933. VERY STABLE (I haven't run my complete stability test on it but it's been going for a couple of days with my daily use). Back at DEFAULT 700 *UNSTABLE* ... back 933 stable. What's going on?
