Someone tell me what I should change in BIOS to OC

[jaybert]

What should I change in my bios to make my thunnderbird @ 1520 more stable? It boots into windows fine but it BSODs quite frequently. I havent changed the core or anything, what should I change it to? This is a AXIA week 7 1.2ghz "C". Any other settings I should try would be appreciated!

If you want more stability, you can up the voltage, most people get it stable at 1.85V also you can change your RAM timings to CAS3 if they are at CAS2, but that won't really affect it, mostly the voltage is where people find stability.

what is the usual voltage on a 1.2 266?

check out this picture Anandtech FSB article. My guess is you are probably at 1.75; I think that's the default for the tbirds/.

Default voltage is 1.75V, most bios version allow up to 1.85V which is fine to run at, just watch your temps, because she'll be running a little hotter. This is of course in reference to the Core voltage, and the higher the voltage, usually results in more stable operation

aight, i'm hitting 1.85v now. running @ 1496mhz. I'm gonna go run some stability tests now

When its stable lets us know your clock and mult and memory settings for future reference.
