Ok guys (and gals),
I'm looking for some suggestions here. I currently have the Abit vh6t mobo with a p///800eb (currently clocked @ 148x6 for 888mhz)
Vid card is the Riva tnt2 32mb
win98se
224mb pc133 crucial
First off, I've got all the latest drivers, via 4in1's, nvidia detonators (except for the newest detonator I was just reading about from Bulldog)
For some reason, I can't get it to stay stable past 148 mhz. It will post up to 155 with vcore raised to 1.8, and cooling stays very cool at 38 - 40c under full load (folding@home), but locks up when I try to run any games. Cooling is not the issue, I'm able to keep it under 40c (full load) no matter how high I take it. Vcore doesn't really seem to help, it'll post just fine up to 155mhz at 1.75 (default for that chip is 1.70) but still won't play any games without locking up or the game just shuts down on its own and returns to windows. I know my vid card is extremely outdated, but runs my games just fine at 148mhz.
So, in everyones opinion, what is holding me back from getting this thing any higher?
Second question, how do I adjust, or even figure out, my ram settings?
The mobo has the softmenu3 in the bios for adjustments. Seems to me like a very thorough set up. I really like the Abit boards. I know this cpu has a lot more to offer, I just can't figure out what's holding it back. thanx in advance for any and all suggestions. :)
