hi guyz, i am running a 1,3 ghz celeron @ 100 FSB...I 've got a double sided 512 Mb SD-RAM PC 133 OEM Module...

now i tried to overclock... i overclocked the fsb to 110 and everything worked fine...then i passed 110 and got bluescreens

i looked up some settings in the bios and saw a entry called hclk wich was set @ hclk +33... guess that means 100 fsb + 33 = 133 Mhz memory clock, right ? so the memory would run @ 143 if i set the FSB for 110, which means that the oem module can handle a maximum of 143 mhz, still right ? :rolleyes:

now i wanted to pass the 110 fsb, so i reduced the hclk to hclk, guess that means a memory clock of 100...now i could raise the fsb to 120 which leads to a memory clock of 120...

now i wanted to get even more, but at 121 fsb i get a bluescreen as soon as windows xp finished booting...

i dont understand why the memory is working @ 133 and a fsb of 100 mhz or rather 143 mhz memory clock, but refuses to work at a memory clock of 121 mhz ... :mad:

maybe i am wrong and u could help me...and what if i set the memory setting for hclk -33, this would mean 66 mhz of memory speed. could i get further in fsb speed this way or would the whole system suffer too much from this setting ?

another interesting point is the fact that a new module of Viking pc 133 shows me a bluescreen at the current 120 mhz fsb and 120 mhz memory clock...
 
reducing the timings to 2-3-3 lets me finally use my new viking, but still no gain in fsb though, still got to work on that
 
i forgot to say, that the same processor and the same memory module ran at a fsb of 123 mhz and a total clockspeed of 1623 mhz on my old asus p3b-f...so it might have to do something with the mainboard, right ?
 
i wouldnt know about ur prob, but i have my pc100 sdram running at 133 atm .... no problems at all..... 3-3-3 though..
 
yep, your board is very good for overclocking, but apollo pro 133 a sucks in it
