w00t: my first o/c :)

[AntaresVI]

I just got my new 1800+ AXDA tbred from Newegg (to replace my dead one, argh) so i figured i'd mess around. Right now i'm running at 1826 mhz 😀

That's 166 fsb x 11. 😀

Anyway, my real question is, how good is this core? what have others gotten? And is 333fsb stressing my system too much?

Complete details:
1800+ AXDA
Epox 8k5a2+ mobo (kt333nb, 8235sb)
256 meg stick of Kingston Valueram pc2100
128 meg stick of Micron pc2100
333mhz fsb
agp, pci stock (66,33)
vcore stock, vmem stock

edit: steady at 36C, forgot to mention that

Looks like a good setup 1800 AXDA kinda rare... only heard of one other using that chip😛

It's locking onwindows startup at 166x12 - do you think i need a core voltage bump?

 

[Duvie]

Yes!!! Did you try 11.5 multiplier or do you not have the .5's???

 

[Blain]

Welcome to our nightmare!

 

[AntaresVI]

yeah it dies at 11.5 too :frown: and there are no .5's over 12. I'll try the voltage in a minute...

 

[AntaresVI]

oh yeah and a little side note: I have a dead Duron 1ghz, and i have no idea what killed it; I wasn;t running it and it just doesnt work anymore. Think washing it might help? 😉

Run Prime95.

I will tonight; i need to use my comp now 😉

 

[ChampionAtTufshop]

you can have it run in the background
its actually good to run it in the bg if you are doing somethin

if it errors out, you know something needs to be done

unless you are doing something important lol...and a crash/burn would totally not be cool

I would worry about running your PC2100 out of spec more than I would the CPU. You are running not so good 133DDR ram @166MHz speed.

Yea, i know, i was worried about this. It seems to be fine for now, i hope🙂

I'm also running an 8K5A2 (non-plus), and if you want to try 12.5, set the multiple to "13"..it will actually be 12.5! I'm using that setting, and it works fine. I sounds to me like you need some voltage adjustments.

My T-bred "B" is running at 1.65V, with Vdimm set at 2.6..

Running your memory at 166 MHz won't hurt it. Usually if memory dies it is from voltage fluctuation.
Your temps are good, more vcore should help with the higher multi's.
But you will get more performance increase from raising the front side bus.
