My Pentium III 800 socket 370 won't go over 924.

[asianmusketeer]

I have a ASUS Cusl2 motherboard with a Inter Pentium III 800 socket 370 with a ATI Radeon 64 DDR and with Duel Cooling fan for my cpu and with 256 pc133 Rams. the most i can overclock is to 924 and stable but if i go over 924, my computer would automatic set it but to safe mode, which at 400 mhz. Can anyone help me to overclock it to more than 1 Gig. Please..

well i dont see what we can do. You on the other hand could get better cooling(if you have sycky cooling) and up the voltage. If you did this already than you wont go any higher than that. Dont try to up the voltage is you have sucky cooling though.

not all cpu's are the same, the limit for yours could be 924mhz and if thats the case nothing you do will get it any faster. but like dark4ng3l said you should make sure its cool enough. also make sure your pci and agp bus are not faster then your pci and agp card can handle.

Is it the 100mhz CPU or the 133mhz version CPU?

Let us know.

My cpu runs at 133mhz but my cpu is set at 6.0x and i can't adjust it. I have a very good cooling fan with temp. around 40c running at 924mhz. Do you think there is any way i can bump my system to a higher speed?

You could try better cooling, higher core voltage, etc.

Not all processors are built the same, it quite possible your's won't go any higher then 924MHz. I've seen 800's that won't do above 820!
And I've seen some that get get to around 1GHz.

To get your processor over 1 GHz your going to have to get the FSB over 166 MHz. Not very likely unless you have LOTS of cooling, REALLY good RAM like some Mushkin or Kingmax, and a DAMN good CPU.

In order to increase the 800 to 1 GHz you need 200 MHz jump. 200/800 = 25% increase
25% * 133 MHz (your current FSB) = 33.25 MHz
You'll need a 33.25 MHz increase in FSB to make it over 1 GHz. 133 + 33.25 MHz = 166.25 MHz

I'm stuck at 956 MHz with an 866 MHz cause my MB isn't stable over 147 FSB. Damn MSI 694D BIOS!

have you tried increasing your core voltage?
if you have & this is still occuring then I think you're running into the ASUS Cusl2 problem whereby the higher user defined voltage is applied after post so if your cpu needs the higher voltage to manage post, it will fail leading to a safe startup!
