Folding and O/c !!!

[Privateer]

Swapping from 1 epox to another Same CPU just different steppings,i now get errors doing a P183.it did 2 % then restarted cos of faulty work packett,it done this 4 times,its ok after dropping FSB by 3,(33MHz)
Why does it do this,i can run a 3dmark ok.:(

go back to the old and trusty

[Privateer]

XP1600+

I got one doing 170 x 10.5 = 1788 MHz,it booted at 185 FSB NP,but folding suffered and gradualy reducing fsb i ended up stable on 170 fsb,nearly 200mhz lost .:mad: :mad:

Hey Privateer, I know it's cool to have faster computers, but higher fsb's don't benefit folding at all. Higher multipliers do though. Raw cpu mhz is what folds faster. Example: 150 x 12 will fold faster than 170 x 10.5. Don't let this stop you from getting everything you can out of your computers, that's what this place is all about. Just thought I'd let you know though. :)

go for cpu NOT fsb in folding efforts.

I know that tweaked but on a locked XP 1600+ you have no choice.
