First off here are my system specs.
IS-7 bios 15
P4 2.4C L321 Malay
Zalman 7000-cu
2- 512Mb XMS3200C2 in DC mode.
Radeon 9800np
SB Audigy 2
Antec Solution 400W
Tt Xaser 2
1) Last night bios was showing 29C idle. And 34-36C in windows w/ Sandra and Seti running. Nexus MCP-101 is reading within 2C of Sandra. So I thought I would O/C a little, 250fsb.
So I set my fsb to 250, mem divider to 5:4, agp/pci to fixed, all voltages are default. And loosened mem timings to 7.3.3.3 , gat is set to default.
I then run memtest for a couple hours with no errors at listed settings. Then I run Sandra through 20 loops and start mbm5 to check temps against Sandras' reports. CPU does not exceed 42C. Next I begin a session of Prime95 for a day long run. Well Prime runs for 2 minutes and fails. So I turn off MBM5 and rerun Prime95, this time it runs 5 minutes and fails.
I reboot to bios and check temps real quick and it says 48C and holding. So I restor all defaults in bios and reboot to bios again. Temp is still at 48C. I then shut it down for a while and let things cool down. I turn it back on 1/2 hour later and check temps, bios STILL shows 47-48C.
With temps reading that high I did not want to risk more volts and try again. I also reseated the HSFand will check temps after work. If they have not improved I am tempted to reseat it again.
What did I do wrong?
2) The -3.3 and -5vdc lines both read about 1.5vdc high. -1.8 and -4.5 respectfully.
Is this normal?
