PIII600E@876 with default voltage wont go higher. some suggestions if you can

[Jwyatt]

hey.
Im using a P3V4X MB. Infinion pc133 256mb ram. Running this PIII600e(100fsb)@876(146fsb) @ default 1.65v. Stable as hell at this speed so far. I havnt tested it alot, but seems stable running RC5 and SETI@Home for an hour or so.

When I try to boot up @148 fsb it wont even boot. Screen goes blank and then nothing. No beeping. No errors what so ever. Im not sure if its the ram or if its the ICS chip on the mb. Anyone know which would make it not boot or give any beeping errors?

Any help is appreciated. Thanks

hehe...NM i think i found the problem. I bumped the Volts up a notch to try 148fsb, but guess that wasnt enough. I bumped it up to max V, then set the fsb to 166. and boots up fine. Just wont go all the way through to windowz

Im happy with it so far though.

what voltage are you using now?

Damn I wish my P3V4X was one of the older ones with all those FSB settings past 133 I only have 140 and 150 I also have a 600e it has been doing 841Mhz very stable at default voltage but I am getting the itch might have to try to bump the voltage and go for 900Mhz on a 150 FSB

I think both your CPU and Memory is maxed out.. Isn't your CPU stepping older than cB0? or cC0? Have u bumped the Vcore a couple of steps and tried 150mhz fsb?

I can run stable @ 150, but i gotta run the voltage up to 1.95 which is the max. Im back down to 876@ default voltage. These are some hot chips. I think mine is a CbO not sure though.
