I need some help to determine a problem I am having overclocking:
Here is my setup:
Asus TUSL2-C
Tulatin 1.26 512L2 Retail Boxed
Two 128 meg Corsair PC133 Cas2 memory
MX300 Sound card
Voodoo 3 3500 AGP/Geforce 3 (Visiontek)
Good 300 Watt Power supply
I can overclock from 1.26mhz to 1500mhz with the Voodoo 3 3500 AGP and run anything (benchmarks) without any problems. But I can only overclock up to 1300 with the Geforce 3 installed. If I go higher some of the benchmarks freeze up or won't start. Here are the settings at 1500mhz in the bios.
FSB/SDRAM/PCI Freq Ratio 133:133:133
FSB/SDRAM/PCI Freq (mhz) 158/118/39
I have tried another Geforce 3 to rule out the video card but l still can't go past 1300mhz.
Here are my cpu temps with the standard retail boxed heatsink and fan with the case open. It really doesn't flexuate when I overclock to 1500 with the Voodoo 3 3500 installed.
Motherboard 33 C/91 F
CPU 46 C/114.5 F
I am stumped at what the problem is. I called intel and they say my cpu is operating fine within the tempature spec they have for my processor. I even tried upping the voltage for the chipset, motherboard and ram but no luck. There is no voltage adjustment for the processor when a Tualatin processor is installed.
Any Ideas?
Thanks In Advance
