TBIRD 1.2G or memory or A7V133 hold me back?

[bobsi]

Hello!
I have used Intel all my life and this is the first time I try AMD. I have Tbird 1.2 Ghz 200 Mhz code AXHA and mother board A7V133 rev.1.05 and Alpha PEP66 two fan one push and one pull. Memory I used Kingmax pc-150 256Mb. The max I can get out of this cpu is 140X10 and the voltage is 1.85V stable before mod the voltage. The temperature is about 104F. After the voltage mod, I still can not increase the fsb even with 2.22V and it only stable at 140X10 and the temperature increase to 120F. Can anyone help me to increase the fsb little more? Is it the motherboard or the CPU or the memory holding me back? Help!

I highly doubt the memory. I'm sitting at 143 on a stick of micron 256m pc133 cas3. You might want to try and drop it to cas 3.
Heat is always an issue, so don't rule that out.
I have seen an a7v133 @ 154 no problems. You have one of the best boards going right now, in my opnion.
You may have reached the limit with that bird. Have you tried dropping the multiplier back 150 from stock clock and then cranking more fsb into it? That should tell you if the memory is your prob.
Good luck

Geez, you're acting like you can't get the chip to run over stock speed. Truth is you are running at 1400 MHz, that's not exactly being "held back". You've probably hit the max speed for your chip which is why you cannot increase the FSB speed anymore. Also, 140 MHz seems to be about the max speed the A7V133 likes to run at. Mine is unstable at anything above that, although I have not ruled out that this could be due to my PCI cards.

I have my 1200 @ 1387 with 9.5 x 146 ... 147 is unstable and above not booting .. I guss it's my U160 SCSI card holding me back cause I know people running 150 and above on this board.

I've got a 1.2 266 AXIA on an A7V133 at 1.466 but haven't tried upping the FSB yet. I've got a mixture of Micron PC133 & KingMax PC150. Hopefully I can find a mixture that'll go higher but if I can't I sure won't be disastified.

Guys, regarding Asus A7V133 and T-Bird 1.2 Ghz 266 FSB, have you able to use the JumperFree mode for all your OCing? I have no luck whatsoever with JumperFree mode. Anything I do within the JumperFree mode, my system won't even POST. However, if I manually change the dipswitches/jumpers, I can get it to run at 11*133=1466. I have no luck higher than that. Also, I still have some old SCSI card or other older and non-oc-able that is holding me back.
