2600+ 333fsb version(non mobile) hanging/freezing with fsb over 200

just as the topic states im having trouble with my cpu. i recently did a trade (thank god) with my friend, my a7v8x-x mobo, a linksys router and $35 bucks for his a7n8x board and his 512 stick of pny pc3500 ram(i had the same stick and they are wicked hard to find now). after i traded i could finally hit the fsbs' i wanted, but im still not maxing the ram out. and thats ****ing me off D;


so system specs are



2600+ 333fsb version (non mobile) @ 2.0ghz (200x10) 1.65vcore
Asus a7n8x mobo
1024 mb pny pc3500 ram (duel channel mode)
geforce 4 ti 4600 @ 305/705
4x dvd burner
2x 80 gig maxtor drives
sound blaster live 5.1 value
500 watt (no name) psu




is there any reason that when i pop the fsb up over 200 i get those problems? I mean i have tried messing with the vcore and ive gone up to max of 1.75v and that still didnt do anything for it. my chip has also hit 2.4(but had a few problems) or so with pc2100 ram so i know it can hit that high. anyone have any suggestions so i can hit my full 217 or so fsb?

with my 2600+, although I didn't get such a hig FSB in order to get mine stable at 2.4 I needed a vcore of 1.8

You probably need more Vcore. Also, you may want to change your memory timing and increase the voltage of your Vdimm also.

and i know nothing about ram timings, and those tutorials dont help... D:



got anything on that too?

hrmm i'm dying to get some more speed out of my 2600. ...gues its time to fiddle with the voltages. btw any of u play UT? it sure seems to let u know if things arenet stable quickly.
