Hi everyone!!

This is the enigma. I have a P3 850 working in asus p3b-f mobo with 384 mb pc-133 sdram, viper v770 ultra as video card and creative sb live value as audio card.I bought yesterday a 350 watt, 2 fans, enermax power supply, so I have now 4 fans in the case, 1 with the cpu and one with the video card, my temps are:CPU 31c and mb 27c at idle over clocked at fsb105 if I go to fsb 110 it becomes unstable, I have seen same processor and mobo going to 1 gig mhz, do I have a bottle neck some where?? do I have to change my video and audio cards??
ANY suggestions will be appreciated

Cheers!!!

what are your load temps??
what do you have for s HS on the cpu?
if your temps arent that high and your cooling is good you may want to try upping the core voltage in .05 incriments to help stablize it... But dont go to high, expecially if you dont have good cooling...personal rule, no higher that .3v over stock voltage. unless you have some sort of extreme cooling system

OH and Welcome!

Do you have a NIC? It may be holding you back. If not, try increasing the voltage as Acaridans said. Monitors your temperatures closely and try not to exceed 45-50 degrees C. If that doesn't work, try burning it in for a while. That may help, or it may not. If it still doesn't work, you may have gotten a bad chip
