Hello guys,
I've been running my PIII 450@504MHz (4.5x112) for 1 year or so now. I've just bought a new GlobalWin VOS32 and it is great. I'm also having two small fans on my Voodoo3 3k (@180MHz) card. When running the CPU at 558MHz (4.5x124), the mobo-temp is around 30-32*C (86-90*F) MAX...so I dont think the cooling-bit is a problem.
I have 128mb Kingston PC100 ECC CAS2 RAM...Motherboard is BH6.

Some of my CPU-bios setting is like this:
Multiplyer: 4.5
Ext. Clock: 124MHz
AGP/CPUCLK: 2/3 <--default is 1/1. What to choose?
CAS2 Latency: 6 <-- What to choose?
CPU Voltage: Have been running at diffent. Lowered it to 1.9v when I ran my CPU @ 504MHz. Have tryed changing it to 2.1,2.2 when CPU is @ 558MHz, but still no change.
Also have tryed to change CAS2>RAS Latency and such..dont know what to have here? 2 or 3?

I dont think I have any problems running it at 558MHz in other programs/games than Half-Life, but this is my main-game so I'd like this baby to work at this speed!
Maby Half-Life is sensitive for overclocked CPUs? I dont know..

Maby you, more experienced users out there could tell me :)
Please? Thanks..

ut is sensitive to overclocks but halflife should be good. Try reinstaling it or reformating and doing a clean install.

could be the divide in your bh6(124/3=41.3) thats your pci bus overclocked speed.One of your pci perifs dosent like the overclock.The newer abits have a 1/4th divider at buss speeds over 100.

Is your AGP bus runnin over 66 mhz?>wtih thtat clock and that fsb. it seems to be runnin at 81mhz..hrmm
