Hi, I bought this two sticks (1GB Each) Crucial Ballistix Tracer PC4000 to overclock my old P4 EE 3.4GHz, but then I changed my mind and put a Pentium M with the Asus CT-479 adapter on an Asus P4P800-E Deluxe, at stock everything works fine. But once I overclock the system, no matter what timings, voltage or PAT Settings, I can't never make it any stable, it won't pass Prime95 no matter what.
It would boot at 2.6GHz fine, but once I started video ripping or Prime95 it would reboot, it's a Pentium M 780 2.26GHz with 533MHz FSB. The voltage values doesn't work the way it supposed to, probably is the adapter itself. I can't reboot at default Vcore, or at 1.48V, it must go at least 1.55 which seems high to me, but probably is not at that VCore speed even though programs like Everest shows the same value in real time.
The CPU temperature will not exceed the 75C in the worst case scenario (The thermal envelope for this CPU is 100C). Is the adapter or mobo holding me back?? Sheesh.
Update: I increased the VCore at 1.6V and tested with Prime95 with the CPU at 2.53GHz and lasted 20 minutes. Before the increase in the VCore, it used to reboot in less than 5 minutes, so am I in the right way to find the sweet spot?? Currently testing at 2.50GHz. I know that Prime 95 is one of the most stressfull apps for the CPU, but my question now is the following. If the Prime95 test makes the system reboot, can that also happen during normal user usage? After all most current consumer apps doesn't torture the CPU the way that Prime95 do.
