Rebel PIII-800 gets on me...

[Braveheart77]

To put it simple:
- Pentium III 800Mhz (100Mhz bus / x8 multiplier / Coppermine core / cB0 revision)
- Soyo 6BA+IV motherboard (440BX chipset)
- 256Mb PC100 IBM memory (CAS3 up to 125Mhz)
- SB Live! Value
- Motorola SoftModem HS56PCI
- Leadtek GeForce256 SDR 32Mb (Rev. A - the one with the 3 leds)
- Powercooler HSF

The CPU is running 25°C idle and never goes far than 65°C at full load (80° top according to Intel) but I can't get it faster than the standard 800Mhz, ever raising voltage to 1.8v!!!
The 6BA+IV is supposed to be a VERY GOOD overclocking mobo and I've seen other P3-800 with the same cB0 revision reaching as high as 1064Mhz (8x133).
What can I do?!?!?! Any advice please....

Note: Sandra2002Pro CPU "Rated Speed/FSB" reports 1064Mhz/133Mhz (not on Performance rating, just Rated Speed which is supposed to be the standard speed of my cpu).... even Sandra people could'nt gave me an explanation on this.

Are you sure it's a 800E?

D/L the Intel® Processor Frequency ID Utility to be sure it is not already O/C'd

And then again, some CPUs are just DOGS. My original 1.2Ghz Tually Celeron could only do a 3% O/C (compared with my current one with a 26% O/C).

I made all kind of test to this cpu (including Intel CPU ID) and everything seems to be ok, except for that issue with Sandra. It is a Coppermine P3-800 with cB0 core.

Can you get ANY O/C (i.e. 3%)?
