Hey guys, here I am again. After blowing a cheap power supply on my first OC (what are the odds?) I went out and picked up an Antec True Blue 480 and now I'm ready to try again. This is my rig:
AMD 2800+ Barton
Thermatake Volcano 9 (to be replace on Tuesday by Vantec Aeroflow)
Asus A7V8X-X mobo
512 Kingston DDR333
Sapphire 9500 pro (oc'ed 364 core 310 memory)
120 gb western digital
Antec Plusview SOHO full of fans
Antec True blue 480 watts
This is my dilemma. When I try to raise the FSB speed on this stupid mobo it raises the PCI speed. On my first oc attempt I set it to 175/50 1.85 vcore and 13X multiplier and KABOOM power supply went. I was told that at /50 mhz on the PCI bus it shouldn't even boot but it did and it launched Windows. WHAT'S UP with that and what max safe settings can you guys recommend so as to oc it to the safest limit?
Any help is as usual greatly appreciated. Damn I'm hooked onto these forums. hehe
