PIII 800EB Stuck at 870

[Rick]

I have a ABIT BE6-II rev 1.2 with a flipchip 800eb.My question is....Why cant i get it to go any higher than 870? Under load the temp peaks at 106F so I didnt think that was the problem.Right now the Cpu voltage is at 1.70 and it does run just fine,but I was wondering if I could get just a bit more out of it.....Any ideas ??

your cpu should be safe as long as you dont go past 1.95v

try burning it in at stock speeds at 1.9 for a day or 2 then see how far you can get it at 1.7 if that's the voltage you wanna stick with

Thank you,I will try that.I was kinda stuck on ideas.My front side bus is at 144 and the multiplier is at 6.whenever I changed a setting it always booted up as a 870.Any other Ideas would be very helpfull and appreciated.Thanks again for your help.

by the way,under load with the volts up to 1.9 it peaks at 44c / 111.2f,It seems to be ok.

you prouble pretty close to the max of that cpu. the eb don't overclock very well because of there 133bus
min 533 is maxed out @ 620

I had seen that alot of peaple said that it wont b/c of the bus speed,but I was just wondering if I could get alittle more from it.Thanks for reply,anyluck getting that fan off??

running at 900mhz on a 800eb is feasible. keep your CPU as cool as possible.

I am running @900 with my 800EB. Stock HSF for a while, just got the Vantec and i am not greeted by Mr.BSOD anymore. Stock voltage ect, mine would only run at 840 for the longest time (about 2 weeks) but i was burning in the whole time and when i tried for 900 it went no probs.

Check the database, i think some are at a 1000mhz with it.
It isnt the chip that overclocks less.Its the fact that you need memory to go to 166mhz + to get a decent overclock.Unfortunately a lot of memory doesnt, and the pci bus wouldnt thank you for it either.
Just make sure you have some decent memory.

thanks Fro for the tip...i now have it at 901..i will let you know how it works for me...thanks again
