Overclocking P3-733EB

[Kharn]

well well well, I picked up a EB for cheap (stupid me) and was wondering what kind of speeds i could expect to overclock it to?
anyonew got experience with overclocking EB's?
i have 2 sticks apacer 64mb pc133 ram, MSI slocket (best ever) etc
how high can i expect the ram to go?
thanks in advance...

On a CUSL2 I managed to get a 733 running at 825 with no problems, with the FSB at 150 and the RAM at 117....I didn't go any further than that, but the CPU should handle higher.

It's quite a problem with the number of viable bus speeds above 133 not so good, and the CPU multiplier is too low to get a truly decent overclock.

hmm, how do you set your ram speed different to your FSB?
i have MSI6163pro (BX) have no such settings
anyone know how high apacer pc133 (or any other brand) SDRAM would run?

 

[AndyHui]

The CUSL2(i815E) can run RAM and the FSB asynchronously.

hmm bloody BX
any other people had experience overclocking EB's (preferablly with ram/FSB sycronised)?
ah one more thing
how is the CPU temperature obtained when using system montiors?
i've heard its a thermal probe somewhere on the mobo, so because im using a slocket im getting incorrect readings? or is the probe internel to the CPU?

I have my 733@803mhz FSB and memory(no name) is doing 146mhz

I run my piece at 840 (140 MHz FSB) on a BX board, and surprisingly enough everything is really stable once I got the CPU stable. Ordinary PC100 memories (but don't count on those to make it), AGP at 93 MHz, etc. No artifacts, no lockups, nothing.

Addition, Kharm: It's really important that you make sure the PCI bus runs at 1/4 of your FSB, though. Otherwise you're in deep sh*t. Particularly your hdd's are at risk if you push them above 38-40 MHz on the PCI bus. Generally speaking, of course...

 

[Kharn]

yes i know im not that stupid i know all the PCI crap, its just the first EB i've had so wanted to know if anyone had success with it
besides if it didnt support support 1/4 my PCI would be at 44mhz = lots of crashes etc

anyway can someone answer my quetion aboiut temp probe
