Okay guys, I need some help here, because this is my first time doing some serious OCing.
Here's what I have:
AMD 2500+ Barton Core (333mhz)
2x256mb PC3200 Kingston DDR RAM in Dual-Channel mode
Asus A7N8X-Deluxe
Retail HSF
3 case fans
Default temp as read in BIOS:
CPU - 40 - 43 C
MB - 21 C (I think)
I have it configured to run at 166mhz FSB and 11x multiplier, and the RAM's at 200Mhz Dual-Channel. Default voltage, 1.65v
Now first, is this the correct configuration? I'm coming from a P3 500 soo...
Whenever I increase the FSB to 180Mhz or higher, the system doesn't POST, and the voice says memory test failed. When I leave the FSB at 166, and raise the multiplier to 12.5x, I get it to run at 2800+, but I have to raise the voltage to 1.75 for Windows to start up... even then, it crashed a couple times, so I switched back.
So what am I doing wrong?!
