Overclocked Dullie FSB issues. (Now running, Check the benchmarks)
I recently did the L3 and L5 mod to two Athlon XP 2100 (tbred B).
These processors have been tested in single cpu systems(on a A7V8X motherboard) and ran stable at 2300 mhz each at the following configs.
144 x 16 = 2304 mhz.
178x13 = 2314 mhz.
I have also ran each cpu in the dual cpu board(A7N266D) at 140 x 16 = 2240 mhz. I have tested each cpu in each of the available sockets on the board and it ran stable including all the benchmarks, Sisoft Sandra, 3Dmark2001 and PcPitstop.
My problem is when I put the cpu/s together in the dual, it will not boot at anything higher than 131x16 = 2096 mhz per cpu.
If I try to start it at 133x16 it gives me a windows error that the register file HIVE could not be loaded and may be corrupt.
Initially the board would not boot up at anything higher than 125x16 = 2000 mhz but I narrowed it down to a voltage issue.
I had the voltage maxed out at 1.87 and 1.8 for cpu 0 and cpu1 respectivley.
Now the voltage for the cpu/s is set at 1.7 and 1.65 for cpu 0 and cpu1 respectivley and is running stable at 131x16.
What could be the problem? its only 2 mhz on FSB but its causing a lot of problems.
I was running dual Athlon MP 2000 before this and I have ran stable at 12.5x144. Should I back the multi down to 15.5 or 15 and run a higher fsb or should I just be happy with this?
Appreciate any help in advance.
