Asus P2B+ 400Mhz PII

[Mie77]

Hi all!!

How can I overclock my computer, i know it is locked to multiplier 4x, so only way to overclock is raise fsb... I cant raise it with my computer more than 112 with 2.0V, but my friend computer is just like mine, and it is possible to use 133 with 2.0V. With my computer only way is to raise volts i(maybe) and I am asking now how to do it..? I have to cover some pins, but what are these pins..?

Thanks...

Here are pins to be covered for 2.2V core:
B119 Not connected
B120 Not connected
A119 Not connected
A120 Connected
A121 Not connected
you should use thin tape for covering, as I have done for my celeron
300A@464MHz, 2.2V and Asus P2B. It works fine!

ok.. thanks, i'll try.. :)

also just because your friends chip reaches 600 doesn't mean yours will, it could be your chip maxing out or your vid card not liking an 89mhz agp bus

[Mie77]

Yep... That's right... But problem is not my video card, Memory could be.. It is 100Mhz...we tried my videocard in that other computer, and it worked fine, and it is now running in my computer with core 105Mhz and memory 115Mhz (used tntclk prog...) Card is Viper V550

[Phil]

will it post at 600? and also will it get into windows in safe mode at 600?

[Mie77]

Nope... not even with my friend video card. Well... Computer boots normally, but doesnt send signal to monitor... Viper doesnt give signal at all, and Matrox (friend card) give signal, but cuts it off...

do you have a heatsink on your bx chip? if you do then you might try putting some thermal compound between it and the chip and maybe a small fan on it, if you don't then 486 heatsinks and fans fit quite well

[Mie77]

Yes i have heatsink... have to try small fan.. :) thanks... Btw... both PII have same information... S-spec:SL2U6, Stepping:dB0, CPUID:0652, L2:512K Thermal spec:75, Thermal Design Power:24,3... Dont know what these are lol, but these informations are in Intel Website.. :)

the only thing out of that that I would say makes a differance to the overclockability of a chip is the stepping, in your case dBO, even if the chips have come off the same wafer it doesn't mean they will all be as overclockable as each other, although it is more likely.

[Mie77]

Ok... Now I tried that "pin" trick, and everything is still working... ;) but i still think my memory is not good enough to stay with cpu... Computer starts normally, go in safemode normally, but when i try to install or run windows in normal mode, it freezes...

[tonsku]

Jeah... I have a same problem, when trying to run at 504MHz and 2,2V.
Safe mode works, but normal mode doesn't work....:( I also tryed
CAS3 latency but nothing happens... Maybe I need to buy faster
processor, I think the next one will be P3 >700MHz.
