I recently bought a MSI Pro2a and a Duron700. I did the pencil trick using some quality HB mechanical lead. I first tried it at 800, 100 * 8. Boots great, WindowsME is perfect. Zero problems across the board, 32 degrees C is the max it gets. I'm using a Chrome Orb with radio shack thermal paste.
The problem comes when I try and push it higher. If I put it at 8.5 mult and save the bios, the screen blanks out. I no longer even get a signal. I have to reset the bios via jumper and start over. Same with 9 mult. I also tried the same thing increasing the voltage a little, same thing.
Whats wrong? I seriously doubt its the temperature, because its cool one second then as soon as I set the bios - pow. Nothing. I don't understand whats going on. Could it be that the pencil trick only partialy worked? Should I go and buy a conductive pen and give that a try?
My Setup:
MSI K7T Pro2a
Duron 700 @ 800 / 8*100
Chrome Orb / RS HSC
256mb ram
Radeon LE
Enlight 7237 300watt, slot cooler on top of video card
