hi all,
being that it is my 1st time posting here, my 1st time trying to OC CPU, Ive searched the forums, read a lot of informative articles. Sill a bit rusty on the matter of matching my RAM to the CPU.
here are my system specs:
Windows XP PRO SP1
MSI K7N2 Delta L mobo
AMD Athlon XP 2100+ Retail (not OCed yet )
512MB Crucial RAM PC2700 (2x sticks of 128mb and 1xstick of256)
ATI Radeon 9600PRO 128MB Retail vid card
Maxtor 120GB 7200RPM 8MB cache ATA133
Onboard Audio
I bumped my FSB on CPU to 166Mz, and windows would not boot. So i lowered it to 155, it works fine now. Didnt touch the Voltages. It is also set on manual i believe from 1.55-1.65Volts. Multiplier is 13, and i think it is locked or something, because i cannont find it anywhere in my bios. I set my Ram timing on AUTO because when i set the ratio to my self, i had to clear the CMOS. (obviously did something wrong).
Ive read ppl easili setting CPU FSB to 166Mhz with no problems, how come mine wont do that?
My temps are fine, 45C Idle, 50-55CLoad
Thanks
