OEM 850@1071

[WillysNut]

Wow...SoftFSB rocks...really. I have not been able to boot 1071 (126x8.5) from the settings in the BIOS. I set the voltage to 2.05v (w/ some help from a slocket) and I left the bus at 120x8.5 and then used SiSoft Sandra to get the system clock version...tried 1053..cool...1071....holy cow..haven't run any benchmarks but I'm not optimistic...just happy to see...1.07G YEAH! 1.13..doubtful but worth a shot!

NICE Overclock! That must be MAD FAST! If you are stable, try lowering the voltage, and burning it in. Then you could lower the temps, and maybe go even higher! NICE JOB

I know....I have to just let it sit for a while....but it's so hard. I've been working w/ computers for 4 years now and I just am in love w/ the fact that we are able to customize and tweak our computers like we customize and tweak our cars....you just have to be a little more careful :)

What is the ideal setting I should burn in at for a PIII 850e??? How long? I'm able to run 1003, 1018, and 1037 stable but as you noticed I do need some additional voltage.
