I think I've got a sweetheart P-3 700 mhz chip that immediately went to 933 mhz when I raised the buss on my Abit BX6-R2 mobo with stock fan and heatsink. It booted up and started windows fine, but had lock ups after 15 mins of a flight sim. My case cooling is great. I run it open with extra 80 mm case fans and a desk top fan blowing directly on the innards.
I took off the thermal pad that came with it and put on Arctic Silver thermal grease and then tried to run 3d2000, but it locks up soon after the first helocopter test begins. I'm also unable to open ?Display? in control panel when the FSB is raised to 133 mhz.
I?m using 128 mb Mushkin pc133 cas2 ram. I?m pretty sure the Diamond 770 ULTRA 32 mb card is the problem, but just in case, I set the HD PIO MODE to 4,3,2,1 and zero in succesion. It didn?t help.
After reading about the tweak for AGP cards, I disabled SIDE BAND ADDRESSING using Powerstrip, but that didn?t help me get there either.
AGP Aperture is set at 64mb.
Any ideas?
If it turns out that my particular card is one that just wont do it at 133mhz, what would be your recommendation for a good AGP video card that will?
What are the pro's and con's of going with a PCI Video card?
Wild guesses accepted. Thanks...
