I just bought a T-bird 850 (blue) and am trying to overclock it.
I bought some conductive ink and uses a tooth pick to spread it between the gaps. After letting it dry for an hour I put the cpu in and tryed to "turn it up". I can change the multiplier to 7, 7.5,8,8.5 but if I turn it to 9 it just sets its self back to 7 and 9.5 is 7.5. I looked at the cpu and the bridges are definatly closed, so does this mean it wont overclock? did I screw up joining the bridges? I can change the bus speed but anything past 112 seems unstable. I Had it running at 969 and played counter strike for an hour no problem but when I came out and started surfing the web it locked up. I'm not sure if thats a Internet explorer problem or if it was because of the cpu or the bus since it was out of spec at 114. I could get it to boot into windows at 1003 but it locked up right away again i think it was the bus. If I try to enable the 133/33 option the computer wont boot at all even if I turn the multiplier to 7.5.
My system, T-bird (blue) 850, 128 megs toshiba ram, 128 no name both pc 133, Voodoo 5 5500, Soundblaster Live, Mactronics ethernet card, Volcano II HSF, Abit K7Ta mb.
The cpu temp runs at about 43 when at full load, 29 when idle
Any help be great thanks
