Supermicro P6DGE r 2.xxx & 2 pIII 550&#39s

I just found out how to oc this board today I want to try it tonight tell me what you think do you think i can hit 133Mhz FSB ?

I guess it could happen, but I would be a little surprised. Depends on what you have for cooling I would imagine. Getting a dual to run at that speed will be a little tougher than a single. Have you ever tested these cpu's in a single board?

 

[burly]

yeah I have tested them on a single and got it to boot @ 133 FSB /w the same HSF I have on them now (glabalwin dual fan) @ default Voltage but I have heard it is really hard to Oc a dual just like you said I hope to get at least 112MHZ fsb

If they will run independently at 133 you should be able to get close to that in dual if not all the way. The Supermicro is a nice board, well suited for server applications but I have never tried overclocking one. I just sent one out on an RMA because I couldn't get it stable at default speeds. It never made it through a full install of NT4 or W2K Server in about 10 attempts without hanging or crashing. I swapped everything out except the MB before I sent it off. Damn shame!

Well I got it to boot @ 112Mhz fsb cpu's running 616Mhz !33 won't boot yet but I think it because I am using the 2.5 bios ver.

ok why does it do thi when I boot it says 633 but in windows it says 616 what is right ???
but both are detecting @ 616 112fsb with wcpuid and sisoft saundra so, so far so good
stable runnign Q3 3dmark2000 and saundra burnin wizard temps are @ 41 full load sid e of case is open though and 35 idle

Sometimes the bios and Windows calculate it with a different number of decimals. The clock is actually 66.6666667 or thereabouts on paper and they round it differently. Nothing to worry about. Microsoft counts HDD space differently also, that's why the drive looks smaller than the manufacturer says it is.

I guess I should be happy I got it to Oc at all This motherboard is a ***** to OC. You would never suspect the setting you change would do it. the setting is under chipset and them its called manufactures settings and has 6 options they are Mode 0 - 5 and it changes the FSB 0 - auto 1 - 100 2 103 3 -112 4-83 5 -133
you know I am stupid it posted with the wrong motherboard name mine is a P6DBE ver 2.2x using bios ver 3.1
