Specs:
ASUS P4T533-C
P4 1.6a (Costa Rica)
2 X 256mb PC 800 Samsung 45ns RDRAM
NVidia TI 4400
SBlive Value!
Kingwin KT 436 Aluminum Case
Lite on 16X dvd
Everything worked great at first. I bumped it up to 133/33 fsb/pci getting it to run at 2.14 ghz. I got 12067 3dmarks and life was good.
So, I then went into BIOS ant tried for 150/30 FSB. After that the thing wouldn't get past POST. I didn't get any warnings or anything, but I would need to reboot the sysytem and let it put me in safe mode bios. I tried many times to get it to get past post using different ram dividers.
I then moved the voltage jumper to the user controllable setting and went back to bios and set it for 150/30 3x ram speed and 1.6volts to the cpu. This time it booted up fine and WCPUID siad it was running at 2.4 ghz. I then ran 3DMark 2001 se and this time I only got 9600 3dmarks. After that I went to SiSoft Sandra CPU arithmatic benchmark. My Drhystone MIPS was cut in half from my previous benchmark. What the heck is going on here?! The CPU temperature as reported by ASUS Probe was not very high, about 45c.
After that I went back into BIOS and set everything back to 2.14 GHZ 133/33. I set voltage and ram dividers to auto like I had before. I then went into Sandro CPU benchmark and my MIPS were still very low! So I then left my computer off overnight and ran Sandra cpu benchmark this morning. My MIPS were better but still nowhere near where it was before trying for 2.4ghz. And my games run much slower now as well.
EDIT-
Forgot to mention that after noticing such bad performance on the 150/33 I tried different voltage settings. 1.6 1.65 and 1.7. Actually getting the pc past the POST was iffy and random at any voltage.
