Multiplier on TB 1.1

[Rcttexas]

I have a TB 1.1 O/C to 1.23. Current settings are 12x103/33. My system get unstable when the FSB get much above 3 or 4. The multiplier goes to 12 then 12>above. When I tried to usethis setting, I could not boot and had to reset the bios. There is a setting for a 1300Mhz chip, but it uses the 12>above setting. Any ideas how to get to 1300Mhz and still stay stable? Thanks in advance for any help!!!

Unlock the chip then lower the multiplier and run that fsb at 133. The motherboard you have will run that high The chip should run fine at 133 mhz and then raise the multiplier up slowly til you get a stable system.

If I were you, I'd lower the multiplier, and increase your fsb. Increase your voltage as you have to. KEEP AN EYE ON YOUR TEMPS! I think that 1.3 is doable, but you may have to invest in a better fan, depending on what you have. I'd drop the multiplier, and start at 1.1 as 8.5x133. One step at a time, or you'll join the frier's club!

My second computer has a Abit KT7A and I unlocked a TB 950 and lowered the muliplier 7.5 x 133 and it works fine. Just make sure your ram is rated at 133 or higher or you will have problems.

Well so far so good. I went to 9.5x133/33. seems stable in all benchmarks. I noticed in my bios, I have a option for 136/34. This figure would be darn close to 1.3Ghz. Can I use this setting w/ my system?

go for it it should be fine not that much higher. Just make sure the temps stay down.

No good. Moved up to 9.5x134/36 and just as I got to the welcome screen of WIN XP, I got a blue screen with a page_fault_in_nonpaged _area message. I also tried 10x133/33 and windows would not even load.

Try just 9 times and raise the fsb up. Your fsb might be the bottleneck. Its probably your ram that might be causing the problem. Trying to help.

Have you bumped your core voltage up yet? That's the next step, but it will raise your temps. Since I prefer to stay away from the real screaming fans, hi temps have allways been my limiting factor. Overclocking is about getting more performance for cheap,(getting the most out of your combo) but a couple of fried CPU's adds up fast.

Ok, here is what I tried:


9x133/33 +12FSB---Reset bios
9x133/33 +10FSB---Error: bad_pool_caller
9.5133/33 +3FSB---system32/config-corrupt or missing

I am currently at 1.80v which puts my temp @45c Idle 50c loaded!

Chico's fine, I guess. I'm too old to be into the college party scene.
How fast are your memory settings? I can manage "fast" at sdram cycle length 2 with my generic Tiger Direct pc133. But it won't do "turbo".

You might give this a try. On the lower end of the overclock a little voltage can go a long way, just keep an eye on the temps and test alot.

Also, try playing a little with the bios settings on the first page. Disable the settings at the bottom of the first page. At least change the enhanced cpu to normal. This (I believe) changes the the ram timing a little. Two sticks of 150 MHz ram in mine and one will do turbo, one only medium.
