im using Fuzzy Logic 4 to overclock becuz if i do it from BIOS then i have to keep on clearing it. when i do n e tin over 152 FSB it freezes. any advice? it is a RIRGA
thanks
thanks

anything over 152FSB and it freezes.(amd 1800+ tbred A)

152 isnt bad. On my 2000+ pally AGIOA, I couldnt go that far either. I know its not a heat issue because im always under 45C (stock cooling).

it proabably not the CPU with 152FSB your pci is at 38MHz it could be your Hard Drive

Have you tried lowering the CPU multiplier? What is your CPU voltage? What are your CPU temps? All of these can obviously affect how high a FSB your chip can handle.

i tried changing the FSB in the BIOS and it didnt do n e better there either. Well for the CPU Voltage it is at stock (1800+ Tbred A's are 1.5V) havent lowered MULTI. im not even sure if the 1/5 divisor is kicking in when i go to 166 FSB, how can i make sure it does?

What are your temps like? If it is good, then up the voltage. It could very well be the answer to your problem.

my temps are 36 C full load (after 4 hrs of Prime 95)
Yodums what should i up the voltage to?
Hc000- doesnt the 1/5 divisor kick in all mobos at 166 tho?

If the 1/5 divider kicks in at 152, you may want to try booting at a FSB speed of 160-166 MHz. Some cards do not like to run at low PCI bus speeds (152/5 = 30.4 MHz).
I would try to boot at 160-166 FSB, and just keep increasing the voltage until it boots. Once it boots, immediately go into the BIOS and check your CPU temps for a couple of minutes. If the temps look ok (less than 45C at idle), then go ahead and reboot into Windows.
If you do not change the multiplier, it might take up to 1.7 volts to boot into Windows. I don't know if this is a common thing, but it took a big step in voltage to get my CPU up to 166 MHz (and the 1/5 divider).

my mobo wont lemme do more than 1.6 V for the cpu so im stuck at 11.5x149 or lower Mult then increase FSB.

at 152bus your pci is 30.4 pci
try upping your bus till you get at least 31.5 or 32 pci speeds

RIRGA is far from being a good stepping and that might be the reason for your chip acting up, if you don't want to mod the chip to have a stock of 1.7 volts then your only other choice is lower the multi and up the FSB, I don't see anything else that you could do, its clearly the CPU which is failing you

yeah i know its a bad stepping. but someone got around 2 ghz on the RIRGA 1800+ in the cpu database at www.overclockers.com

The one RIRGA 1800+ Tbred in the database is running 1920 MHz with 1.85 volts.
To get even close to 2 GHz, you need to either change the default CPU voltage (via either connecting the bridges or connecting the socket pins), or get a different motherboard (one that will allow you to increase the voltage higher). Otherwise, you have probably gotten as much out of that CPU as you can.

what is post? also i downed mult to 11 from 11.5 and got FSB to 157 stable. at 1.6V N e tin over that and then sound starts to crackle

POST is Power On Self Test. it means that the PC boots and just tests the RAM and the other stuff, what we mean by post is boot, if PC doesn't POST mean it doesn't boot, or we have a failed overclock
crackling sound means your sound card can't take the FSB, as you have nice RAM just drop the multi to 10.5 and up the FSB to 166. If you can't get the raw MHz, at least get as high as you can on the FSB, it may not be what you want but it is far better than nothing. Also running lower multi doesn't hurt the performance really, running lower FSB is what hurts performance, so drop that multi and start upping the FSB
