p3 700 dilemma - slocket, ram, cpu or what??

rdw519 · 03-01-01, 04:16 PM

Hi. I'm currently running a cc0 p3-700 flip @ 933 on 1.8 volts pretty stable. Basically when I try to go any higher, I end up crashing Quake 3 to the desktop during timedemos. By lowering my ram timings to 3-3-3 and setting some of my Abit-bf6's settings to stability settings (AGP to Normal mode) I can run it up to 972 @ 1.9v and have it pretty much stable. I also have a pretty cheapo SOYO slotkit, 128 megs of pc133 generic ram, and an alpha heatsink that never gets warm at all (I never go over 41 c or 117 fahrenheit.) I'm wondering what anyone thinks it could be and how I should go about fixing it?? Thanks a bunch...

You're probably not too far from the peak of that processor. Consider what you have....it's all good.

Thing is I want to run it at 972 w/ peak ram settings. Right now 933 offers the best performance and stability...
