MSI 845ultra aru can run@166fsb with a pci video card, but when i put a G4 4600 in cant do but 155.

Im running right now with stock cooling 1.7v(had to use the wire trick) @2400 150fsb.
The main reason im running a 150 is because msi's temp readings are still incorrect. MB shows running at 35c and cpu at 50-60c.

I can only get my 1.6A to be stable @ 1.87 @117fsb and cpu core v @1.65v with Matrox G450 AGP VIDEO CARD. I tried changing memory setings and pc wouldn't boot. I hate to have to do the wire trick, but I guess I'll have to. Please let me know your bios settings before and after wire trick if you can. Sure appreciate it. From what I've read there's much better/easier mboards than the msi. My cpu is 13 to 15C and Chas. 31C. Thank you, Pat.

Edited to get rid of extra space.

bargainshopper,
you don't have your pm on, so i hope you see this. i have the exact same setup as you (i just put it together this past weekend), and i've yet to try overclocking. i'm rather new to this whole idea and i was wondering if you would be willing to share your experiences with me.
what are your bios settings? have you tried using the p4s533 bios on this board? i've read elsewhere that it works nicely.

thanks.

There is really not much to OC this setup. Set the FSB to 150 and CPU/MEM to 1:1 and let it go!!!

Please be aware that when the FSB is 150, you are running your PCI bus @ 38Mhz. Depend how good/bad your PCI/AGP cards are, you may/may not have an issue there.

You can also try 2.133G first (FSB=133). If it works at 2.133 with Prime95 running for several hours withou errors, then go for 2.4g.

I did not adjust the cpu voltage at either speed.

Good luck.

I have a P4 1.6a @ 2240 (140 fsb)
Gigabyte 8IRXP mb
Samsung PC2700 512mb

I can't get much higher than 140 for some reason, everytime I try 150 it works for maybe 5-10 mins then I have to clear the freaking cmos so I can boot temps at 140 fsb are around the 39~55 range with an AVC Sunflower cooler (which keeps temps down but has had no effect on stability).
Would changing the memory to lower settings help me achieve 150 fsb?

This sounds like a very nice setup... do all the new Asus boards come with USB 2.0 standard? If so, I'm in for an upgrade!!

Got mine at 2.4 Now with 1.725V.
I had to go through 3 1.6s so I don't think it's a safe bet.
By the way howdo you lock PCI and AGP with P4B266/

Th7-2 with RDRAM at PC900, 1.65V, stock cooling
I would like to run it at 2133Mhz with RDRAM at PC1066 speed at 1.5V though as the memoery bandwidth is better and it runs cooler as well.

The P4B266 has the on-board C-Media sound and USB 2.0
The P4B266-C does not have USB 2.0 nor does it have the on-board sound.

In the chipset settings, there is a PCI setting Turbo1 and Turbo2.
Its supposed to keep the PCI bus within a range, Turbo2 is for more aggressive o'clocking.
I have the P4B266 with 1.6A @2.4GHz at 1.55V
FSB-MEM at 1:1
and PCI at Turbo 1

My system runs almost rock solid at 2418 however as I had two crashes in a week with medal of honour i usually run at 133 fsb which lets you keep bus at 33 and agp at 66 with my gigabyte mobo. Standard 2100 crucial ram @ 2.5

I'm stable at 2.34ghz, 146fsb. Default Vcore (1.5v) No wire trick or jumper setting. DDr266 seems to be limiting my OC. Waiting for Mushkin DDr400.

Mine can boot at 2.4 GHz, but it's anything but stable. Moreover, I had to have the voltage at 1.775v, and if I wanted it to be stable, I'd probably have to hit 1.8v. Not something I want at all.

It's running stable now at 1.6v, 133MHz FSB: 2.133 GHz. It's a setup most people are comfortable with. Some set their system at 132 MHz FSB to have the fsb:memory running at 2:3, which is limited to speeds under 133 MHz FSB, from what I've heard, so that the memory can be overclocked. Supposedly, at the 2:3 ratio, you won't get that kind of memory overclock unless you hit a much higher FSB than most, or all, CPUs can handle. From my calculations, that FSB is 198 MHz, but that just seems a bit high. If it is correct then you'd better have some damn good memory.

My point is, either be ready for disappointment (many people say that 2.133 GHz @ 133 MHz FSB w/ default voltage is a guarantee, but believe me, it really isn't), or be ready to have different chips to try out. Some people got really lucky, I recall this one chap getting his processor to run at like 180 MHz FSB or something with a 1.8v setting. However, overclocking is not an exact science, and that chip, although most often highly overclockable, might run into problems. From what I've seen, it's rarely -if never- cooling problems, too. It's usually voltage or motherboard, and barring that, the chip itself. There is a limit to how far you can push any chip.

Hmm..i went out of town and closed the door to my basement. Came home and found the closed door make the room get a tad warm. CPU was running at 65c. I had it running at 160fsb Running seti for 28+hours with those temps and didnt crash..Im surprised!

I think that intel / p4's still have that thermal protection circuitry that lowers the clock speed if they get too hot. Thus, I'd think you have little risk in frying a p4--unless you seriously over-voltaged it. But, I haven't been keeping up on the intel stuff lately so I could be wrong.

It might have been doing some clock throttling, but my seti times were all about the same from when the house was cooled. who knows. Sunflower should be on the way, but i didnt get a confirmation..might have to call to see if they got my order or not.
