Thanks guys

stock settings for the 1800+ is 11.5 x 133 = 1533

best way to start o/cing is setting the jumper on the mobo to 166, so that it would equal 11.5 x 166 = 1917

then from there you can start manually increasing the fsb in the bios (probably around 166 -> 180 or somethiing)

hope that helps

How about changing the multiplier to say 12 ?

 

[lxie123]

u can't change the multiplier on that mb

 

[Hav0k99]

hehehe this threads is still going after deal is dead.

 

[AkumaX]

you can hotwire the mobo to your desired multiplier if you wish (it is quite a bit of work though...)

hehehe this threads is still going after deal is dead. [/q[

however this deal comes back EVERY week!! i bet it will be $54.99 sometime in the next month.... (just as it was on black friday, '02)

I've got mine running quite stable at 11.5 X 175 = 2013 MHz with OEM fan/heatsink.

Kingston HyperX PC4000 (I know, overkill...). 183-185 gives MemTest errors and 180 gave some BSODs and crashed 3DMark03.

I'm now drooling at NForce boards with more multiplier/voltage/DDR voltage options because I know this puppy will go faster. I'm not up for wire tricks just yet.

Anybody else notice a high-pitched squeal? Bugs the heck out of me...

 

[lxie123]

DUDE YOU SHOULD STOP OVERCLOcKING IMMEDIATLY THAT HIGH PITCH SQUEAL IS PROLLY YOUR pci bus running out of spec.. maybe you cdr rom or HD.
Please check what your agp/pci clock is at, I don't think that board has agp/pci locking either. You are going to fry your components.

That said, does anyone still want to buy my motherboard? lol

 

[frahuang]

lxie,

Hey how about $25 for the mobo? Check your private message.

thats why you can do the pin mod and change multiplier instead. that and voltage.. thats how i got mine up so far.

Ahhh...no. It was confirmed that K7VTA3 has a /5 divisor. PCI bus is at 35. Specification is 33, so this is only a very subtle encouragement of the PCI bus. High pitched noise is no different at 33 vs. 35.

Even if I was running at 200 MHz FSB the PCI clock would be at 40 MHz.

The noise sounds like when you turn a TV on, and sounds exactly like my SIR-T151 HDTV set-top box.

my highest was 180 (setting my pci @ 36, perfectly fine)

anyone go higher?

 

[Hav0k99]

Is there anyway to set voltage? all I can get is 1.7ghz any pointers for going higher?

Yep... Do a socket mod. Was able to get my board up to 1.85v using two thin wires.

Step away from sharp objects, and proceed to your nearest mental hostpital. If you don't like the "hidden group" that "seized power", VOTE and encourage others to vote. That's your power.

On the topic of this deal. I wasn't aware that Fry's would ship stuff out. Thats great considering those of us on the RIGHT coast can't get to these deals in person.

2324 mhz with wire mod. 14x166 1.7v. need patience but easy to do wire mod.

 

[0roo0roo]

yup, and don't drink espresso b4, steady hands

You can always ask one of us

 

[Polar2002]

Only takes 5 small wires.

 

[Hav0k99]

Where can I find instructions to do this "wire mod"?

awesome thanks!

Keep in mind that you don't need to do all the wires, some of them are already connected on the L11 bridge itself.
