Its the same as c16 for me. Its a keeper though. I meant that I cant go straight to 166*14 @1.925v. I must make an imtermediate o/c of 13* 166 @1.85v and after that no problem with reboots or coldboots.

It depends on the cpu - if u cant run at 14x166 then increase voltage a bit more - running a 2400 at that speed can require 2.0 to 2.1v - my 2400 will need 2.1v to approach 2.35 so u might be in the same boat - nothing to do with the bios (totally CPU dependent) - try more voltage until it is stable with a limit of 2.1v I'd say...Also, you might want to increase the FSB higher rather than staying at 166...just my 0.02 cent...

Thanks for your advice. Will someone misinterpret my last sentance too? I seem to not be making much sence to you guys. My last two posts have been about explaining what I meant in the previous post. :D
I have my CPU @1.925v rock solid stable. I have got into windows @ 14.5 * 166Mhz @ 1.975v, its couldn't even start the splash screen for 3dmark2001se 330. The temp seemed to be rising too. My watercooling setup is quite good but not that good. If I was still running a pelt I could, but pelts and my CPUs have taken a dislike to one another.
My memory is fine @ 166Mhz. I am thinking of buying some OCZ PC3200 that is E105 (euros) for one 256Mb stick (want two). I think pc3500 is just not going to benifit much more since my board apparently doesn't like high FSB so much - and I think the extra cost is not worth the extra theoretical performance. Plus this memory is on sale and looks like the current sweet spot for memory prices at the moment.
To explain why my system's alarm goes off: Its due to a buggy bios.
I do what I said above to get round this buggy bios, not because I have too low a voltage. 1.9v was too low because I could get into windows but games would crash.
