Athlon 800 can`t hit 1G

[gotey]

I recently replaced a duron 650 I had running at 900 with a t-bird 800. I unlocked the L1`s with defogger paint, set the multiplier to 10 and voila...nothing...no post even

set the multiplier to 9.5.......nada..post but crash

set it to 9.....bingo.

I thought the 800 bird should hit 1g no sweat but it will only run the same mhz as my duron which acts exactly the same way at 9.5 and 10

My temps are good at 900 ( 35 idle 44 load)
voltage was set to 1.85 (reported as 1.9 by mobo)

my rig:
FIC AZ11-E mobo (meaning 100fsb)
256mb micron cas2 pc133
radeon LE
300w power supply (possibly be the problem?)

The mobo is supposed to be good to 1.2 t-bird with current bios. any suggestions?....thanks in advance!

Welcome to the forums!

It's probably one of two things:
-Your chip just won't go any higher
-Your power supply isn't enough. What is your +5v being reported as when you're under full load?

I dont know.....I haven`t checked the 5v under load. I will do when I gety home from work.
Is there anything else I can check while i`m at it so I can have more info for y`all to read?


The duron I understand not going any higher....250mhz is a nice o/c

the t-bird....hmmmmmm

here are other things on my rig that might be sucking power from my precious cpu in addition to the floppy/hdd
case fan
blue orb on the vid card
40x cd-rom
8x4x32 cd-rw

i had a 850 green core that had trouble making it to 1000

it liked 996

but 1000 would CRASH

got 1050 ( 10 x 105 A7V) with 2.1 volts.............

so there tougher than you think as in clocking.............i got a 950 blue core @ 1357 on that A7V @ 2.3 volts

it ran for 6 months on a KT7A-RAID @ 1200 @ 133 fsb @ 2.1 volts.....aircooled

try getting a new chip my friend.........get a 1GHZ t bird at least

the 5 volt may be holding you back but i dought it.......unless its a 200 watter or something
