Trying to OC this has been sorta fruitless. I am not able to up my fsb anymore than 101 with an 8.5 mulitiplier. I unlocked the L1 bridges using trace tape then moved one of the CPU pads over the tape to make sure it stays that way. I didn't see any need to play with the voltage since I was only starting out in small increments.

I'm sure I have ample cooling, FOP-38, 4 80 panaflos, 1 120 panaflow and an Enermax 431w PSU pumping the power to everything. My periperials are a 256mb Crucial PC133 CL2ram, Voodoo 5 5500 AGP, GTXP sound card, and a linksys networking card w/ 2 IBM deskstars. I am also using the WW BIOS and Win98se.

Just to refresh it is the KT7A-RAID using the WW BIOS. Any suggestions on what may be the problem?

A couple of things:

1) What ram are you using?

2) 8.5x133=1135mhz, probably not going to work

3) make sure you're running at 133mhz fsb and then go from there.

I dont think that it is unlocked properly-try doing it again with a pencil then start at 7x133, the go up from there. U got good cooling and GREAT ram so once it is unlocked it should go way up

Well I'm using a 256stick of Crucial PC133 CL2,

Not trying 8.5x133 but this is the only stable setting 8.5x101

and I if I select a 133fsb setting I can't boot up and have to clear my CMOS before I can boot up again.

I will try the pencil trick and see if that works. Thanks for the input people.
