This is weird, I had it at 140X15 and ran 3d mark, no crashes, played other games, no crashes.. But when i play Unrealtournment2k3 my system restarts. So I go back to default speeds and im fine again. Before i had this chip i had the 2100+ prcoessor with the fsb at 140 for 2 months without a single crash... Can anyone help me with this, would raising the voltage help me???? My temps are 32c normal, full load 37c ...

Question..
Did you buy this CPU at Newegg? If so, what stepping is it? I have one on the way from them and I am itching to see what the stepping is..

did you increase your voltage?
I only have a Epox-8kha+ and I was able to push it to 152x15 without really trying. I know my system can definately set a higher fsb just that I have not yet got time to do a voltage mod on my mobo.
Now I have set my system bus at 149 which scores best benchmark so far for me.... and I am only using Crucial PC 2100 256mb x2! I set my voltage at v1.85 which is the highest before mod.
Stepping: AIUBC 0242 VPAW

Yea...
Try feeding it some more voltage..

Try 1.85V - if you have good cooling.
I don't know what is causing your problems, but I just wan to let you know that you are not the only who has had problems with overclocking + UT2003. For some reason, every FSB setting above 133 resulted in a crash when trying to play UT2003. The wierd thing was that it was stable as can be during prime and benchmaeks. =/

There's something new you learn every single day... I never knew there could be such problems never even heard of this before. I got the system below clocked at that speed and its 100% stable in all games/programs, I'm also folding 24/7 so its under constant load. Did u set you memory to run at FSB + 33? because if you did, it might be a memory related problem, so either try to remove that setting or up the memory voltage a little and see what happens, I don't think that if the CPU is not even a little more stable at such a voltage increase that its the CPU which is holding you back.

who said video card???? That answer makes no sense.. Anyway, i had the FSB cranked to 140 for 2 months when i had my 2100+ processor in and unreal ran fine. So it must have something to do with the 2400+ proccessor that i have. I ran fine with unreal when i changed the multipler to 14 and the fsb to 149........Which brings me to 2086 mhz............ Maybe I shoould up the voltage to 1.85... I dont know, is it really worth it, I mean when I up my FSB to 140 am I really increasing the frames per second in my games??? Or an I gaining like 2- 3 frames per second more?
