PII 300 with P3V4X, cant OC above 338

[XNice]

I can't seem to OC past 338 using 4.5x / 87mhz
I have a diamond viper tnt2 non-ultra 128 pc100 microns. I also cannot change my voltage to any lower than 2.8. Anybody with a P3V4X can explain that to me? The lowest voltage I can go is 2.8
Also Can someone recommend a goo dcase fan because I am about to throw away this PII for www.pcnut.com 's PIII 650 at $20(almost promising to go to 910mhz) But someboody please tell me what I am doin wrong at least? thanks.

That's about right for that chip, in my experience. You've got a Klamath P2 and its voltage spec is 2.8.

You have an older 1st generation P2....the .35 micron type. Voltage is at 2.8, and 300s were the top of the .35 micron manufacturing process. Most are able to get to 338 (4.5 x 75), only a few could make it to 375 (4.5 x 83).

That's it for that processor....you can't physically go any further.

There were only 2 P2-300s that could go further....the .25 micron SL2W8 and SL2YK, but these were really rebadged P2-450s...
