OK, i have an amd tbird 900 (green core if that helps), abit kt7 raid, 128 meg pc133 infineon. I did the pencil trick (im sure i did it properly but i could be wrong)
9x111 = 1000 mhz works great, stable, no probs
10x100 = stable, except prime 95 gives me hardware errors
10.5x100 = same
10x101 = same
so any multiplier other than 9 gives me hardware failure errors in prime 95 and cpustability test also fails. It's not a problem related to fsb since 9x111 works, and it happens at both 10x100 and 10x101 or 102... etc

any ideas? the chip maxes out below 1100, and i was shooting for an oc around there
using an alpha pep66t sink with delta loud ass fan

any help is appreciated

check your voltage settings dood.

up the voltage some more to stop odd problems occuring after boot up.

i had this prob with my k6-2 450 and agp vid card.

increase voltage and wallah! no more stuff up during benchmarks.

You did pencil your L1 bridges, right? Try doing them again, that may be your problem. Make sure to fully cover the bridges, and not make any crossed connections. Some people also suggest various different pencils, some say to use a mechanical 0.5mm HB, some say to use a soft lead pencil (i.e. 4B, 6B), I suggest a harder lead pencil (i.e. 5H, 9H). Otherwise, you might want to try some Arctic Silver on those bridges.

I tried re-penciling the L1 bridges, same problem
I am using 0.5 mm hb lead i believe, mechanical pencil

hey! I am also running a 900mhz tbird@1050 140x7.5, and I get those same hardware errors in prime95... other things ive done to load the system doesn't seem to have problems though.. I haven't tried clocking it stock and then running prime95 this seems like a stable setting to be at without upping the voltage or bringing alot more heat into the picture.
