HELP!!!

[moe]

ok I just tried to overclock my p2 300. At first I increased my cpu clock ratio from like 3.5 and up by 0.5, what happend next was really baffling, my cpu speed decreased!!! to like a 133mhz!!!!!!! what have I done wrong??? My motherboard is an aopen AX6CL

I can have the following cpu clock ratios:
1.5
2.0
2.5
3.0
3.5
4.0
4.5
5.0
5.5
6.0
6.5
7.0
7.5
8.0

I could also change the CPU click frequency to any of the following

(in Mhz)
66.8
68.5
75.0
83.3



Plz help thanks!

sounds like you changed the mulitplyer not the fsb. The multiplyer is locked on the chip.....and that setting is good for both...a 300 and a 133. Change it back and play with the fsb.

On the P2-300, the multiplier is unlocked. He can run 3x100 or 4.5x66 and either setting will work. With the FSB options available to you, I would start at a low multiplier and high FSB and increase the multiplier until it becomes unstable. Excepting if you are running PC66 memory, in which case I would do the reverse.

I think.... in your case, was probably set at 3.5x 83.3mhz fsb as default before you attemped to overclock. but like you've said, u upped to 4.0 and I suspect you left the FSB setting alone. That means .. 4.0x 83.3mhz= 333mhz but.... according to your report, it seems like your mobo and/or CPU was not able to handle it maybe?.. It really should work though if you upped the voltage accordingly and keep your sys cool.....

Therefore, at this point, looks like you are maxed out at 3.5 x 83.3mhz because your mobo is maxed out @ 83.3mhz FSB and if this is the case, obviously you wont be able to increase the FSB any more.

Try some good cooling method and change the Vcore to see if you can make 4 x 83.3 or 4.5 x 75 which ever will work..
