Ok, I've got some things going on in my mobo that I just DON'T understand. (it's a proprietary IBM POS).
First of all, if I raise JUST the clock multiplier, my machine goes from 266 to 300 Mhz w/no problem and runs at about 33'(max) Celsius.
If I raise the bus speed, however (to get 300 Mhz, 75 Mhz FSB) I have to cool the system to around 27' Celsius w/ my onboard video card and around 25' with my current one. Does anyone know why the system has to be so much cooler when my PCI slots aren't even running that much faster?
My other big question is just how fast my PCI slots are running! My BIOS splits PCI FSB's into two sections that look like this:
Host Frequency/PCI Bus Frequency
60 30
66 33
75 30
83 33.
I know this board was designed to take Pentiums, Cyrix's, and K6's (and Cyrix ran at a higher bus speed than 66 Mhz) so why is the thing so unstable?
