Lousy OC with P4 2.5ghz

[AzAbyss]

Heres what I have:

Asus P4PE Bios 1002
P4 2.5ghz 400mhz
512mb Crucial PC2700
GeForce4 4600

For some reason, I can only push the FSB 106(2.65ghz) before the system stops posting. Just wondering if anyone had any suggestions about things I can try to get a better OC. Thanks.

Too agressive of a multiplier.
If your were to get it to 133fsb, it would be a 3.33GHz. Intel has no such CPU. You should have tried a 2.4GHz 533FSB CPU. Or if you really want a 400FSB cpu, try a 1.8a or maybe even a 2.0a

That is a crappy overclock.

I own a 2.5 400 fsb cpu and its @ 3.2

Current setup
2.5 @ 3.2
Swiftech mcx4000 hs
smartfan 2
512 3200 xms crucial

I say gradually oc it. Start of with 2.65 use it for a bit and keep breaking it in more and more. Thats my suggestion

Thats what you get FOR NOT DOING YOUR HOMEWORK. You coulda save much dinero buy getting a P4 2.53GHZ for $193 from newegg, with wut newegg has in stock, it seems like everyone's getting a C1 now.

I admit. I am a little out of date. I was going to have a whole fleet of computers to cruch away for TA DC. But I took a stupid trip down to Seattle. Since I became broke, I try and stay out these forums as it makes me want to spend some money
