Spec as sig
I have no idea why but my computer just keep on giving me reboots when I get over 235mhz. It rebooted after 8 hours of SETI when I was running 236X11.5 @ 2V and the temperature is 45 degrees as in abit EQ. Pass memtest with no error.
Also, it pass memtest @ 249mhz (tested from X8.0-X10.5) but none of those combination would boot into windows.
My cpu clockspeed is definitely not craping out because it run 210X13.5 with no problem. I know some cpu doesn't like high fsb but I don't understand why it pass memtest. :confused:
With my old barton 2500+, I was constantly doing 249X9.5 but I think the chip limited the overclock. It was an AQUCA 0304.
What is the problem here? The 235+ fsb is definitely causing instability problems in windows. It's a fresh installation as well. I've also done the L12 mod. Before the L12 mod worked, it only allowed me to boot upto 225 fsb...
btw, I'm running 2.1VDD and 2.9Vdimm. I needed those voltage to get 235fsb.... Any lower, it wouldn't even boot.
I'm really confused here. Please help me out.
Also, I'm planning to voltmod my board because I thought I was getting some bh5. I'm not anymore because of some problem with the seller. I've got the resistors already so I thought I might as well try. Do you think it's likely to help the situation?
I can get my hands on some BH6 though. Am I likely to get 250fsb+ with BH6 or would I have to order some BH5 from the US? I'm in the UK and BH5 has completely ran out over here. It's getting harder to find BH6 as well.
