Intel 533EB, A-bit vh6 motherboard...

[Meaty-btz]

Well, got the overclockable MB, got the cooling situation well over handled, un-overclocked i am running about 22 degrees below my previous operating temp, ok. So why is it when i reset my clock multiple and my voltage the darn thing keeps defaulting back to 533???? Anyone got some answers?

Make sure "speed error hold" is disabled in the bios.

Yup, its off, k seem to be running stable at 6.5 multiple core at 1.8V bus at 133, but i need to find some software to show me true current clock speeds. Know of any good ones? BTW loaded operating temp at the above settings are 73 degrees F and unloaded/idle of 65 degrees.

why u runnin at 1.8v, ist the 533eb a 1.65v jobby??

[Meaty-btz]

Well, because the CPU runs better at that voltage of all things, i see a minor improvment in speed and only 2 degrees C in heat change which makes me run at 22 C underload rather than 20 C.

20c without load- do you live in a meat locker? That's only 68f... I think there might be a descrepancy there somewhere. The cpu will never be below ambient. Even at ambient is tough to do- I have a lot of case ventilation, and the best I've gotten is a degree or so above. To maintain ambient on the heatsink would require no dissipation from the cpu, or an incredible thermal mass for a heatsink.
