Help me understand

[djaydida]

my fbs is at 100 (quad pumped), and my ddr pc2700 is at 333, why is it that i should be trying to set my fbs at 133? Please can someone help me with this.

I would think you shouldnt, you should be trying for 200(IE 400).

the reason you would run your FSB to 133MHz is becuase that is what the CPU gets its speed from.
It takes the FSB and then Multiplies it (based on its multiplier) to set the CPU speed.

So basicly, you would raise your FSB to get your CPU to run faster

 

[Yuriman]

Err, yea. You want to raise you fsb as high as you can. Sorry, its kinda late for me.... Try for 133, and see how high you can get your ram sepperatly. With an athlonxp, you want to keep the 2 in sync, but with a P4 just raise both as high as you can.

You can not adjust the multiplier at all on Intel's chips.

Turn on the PCI/AGP lock in the BIOS before overclocking, your board may not have this though.

Your RAM is at 166x2=DDR333 which is PC2700

Your processor is at 100x4=400.

If you increase your FSB by 1mhz it will then be: 101x4=404bus

FSB is before you multiply it by four,and bus is after you multiply it, I was sooo confused when I first learned that.

When they say P4 800mhz FSB, they are lying.

Just increase them both as high as you possibly can.

You should be able to easily get 2ghz out of your system. I would even bet more.

But remember to increase voltages if it doesn't work. increase in small increments only. And of course, cooling.

i have my fbs set at 133, vc 1.54, and my temp is around 35c idle. how is this? or what should change

 

[mrnuke]

sounds good, as long as there aren't random reboots ur fine, if there are, i'd bump the vcore up to 1.6, or 1.65 until the random reboots stop happending. Otherwise u seem in good shape!

what is it under load? (idle doesn't tell you much)
