T/B 1.2Ghz with 8K7A

[Genis B]

what is the limit do you guys think i can push my mobo and cpu, with the cooler master fan.
i am running at 1.4 at the moment with 140*10 and the temperature is 40 C after running 3D mark 2001, and drop to 29 after finish, with Hmonitor.
will it run stable if i push it to 11? or will it be a better idea to increase the FSB?
any help would be appreciate.

wow those are low temps. i would slowly raise the fsb up to like 150, if its stable put the multiplyer to 11 and fsb to 133 and slowy raise the fsb once again. this is just how i would oc, its really up to you though it doesn't matter if you raise the multiplyer or fsb or both, its up to you.

somehow ShoGun wouldn't run properly with my new o/c setting, but it's not overheating though can u help?
BTW how can i change my signature at the bottom, cause i want to post my new o.c setting in as well.:D

Push the "USER CP" button on you're top right corner to change you're sig.

those are good temps, with those temps try to up the votage a little to get it stabel again but watch temp more voltage is more heat

but i am running 1.85 for it already though, wat is good stable for 1.4?

Well the 8K7A is a great board, and it has the option to get over 1.85V. I'm running @1.95 right now, and I would go higher if me damn PSU could handle it, but it can't.
Anyway with the temps you are at, I think you should up the Vcore a little more and see if you can't get that T-Bird a little higher! ;)
If you don't know how the get more than 1.85V, take a look at page 3-7 in your manual, there you can see how it's done.

i got up to 1.95 now, and are running 140*10, but the temp is like 49 c even with cpucool. is that good?

FSB!

My SiSandra memory benchmark:
ALU: 755
FPU: 1014
:D

no... that is not good. You're cooling is not good enough to lower the temp it seems. You should lower you're Vcore a little bit.

Those are real good temps I must be doing something wrong I'm at 38idle 46 load watercooled 1.2t/b @1502 1.91v

some how my comp wouldn't even turn on today!!
i think it's wether the powersupply is not functioning or the fans, any suggestion?

Dont feel alone My pc starts then reboots starts reboots starts reboots I dont know what the prob is. Im going back to air cooling cuz my temps were only 2-3* cooler with water than with the mc462/w a rheostat And less clutter in the case.

maybe it can't handle a cold boot at your selected fsb/multiplier.

I just threw the mc 462 on and it booted up fine I'm really confused now the aircooler is 5* cooler than the water cooler air 33/40 water was 38/42

[Genis B]

u r still lucky, it atleast does boot up, the red light on my comp is not even flashing, nothing is happening no matter how many times i press the power button.
BTW which fan would u guys buy between FOP38 or Volcano2, for just about the same price.
