Hi guys,
I have a Tualeron 1.1 on a VH6T which I run at 1584Mhz (144 fsb). The thing is, a few times when I went into BIOS afterwards, the Softmenu showed a 13x multiplier (of course, in the POST screen it was 11x, being a Celeron), but everything worked ok.
The second mistery: everything was rock stable until I set CL to 2 (it's 2 sticks of regular PC133 RAM, so I guess I was pushing it a bit), then I had a few program errors in Windows, and after one of these, the POST screen showed 143x11, ie. the mobo lowered FSB all by itself. Sure enough, Softmenu values were also 143x11.
Well I restored CL to 3, and returned FSB to 144, and everything is rock since then, at BIOS voltage 1,55, though Sandra and VIA HM show 1,60 (guess VH6T adds 0,05 V) and max load temp 34C, but I wonder if anyone had a similar experience???
Also, with RAM at CL3 and slowest RAM performance values, I guess this CPU could go a long way, but I'm worried about PCI speeds, as I don't have a 1/5 PCI divider or PCI locking. It worked flawlessy at 1606, but I hesitate to push it further. What do you think?
