I need some tips on the proper voltage, etc for this sucker...I have tried it only on default so far...at first I was able to go to 800 for awhile...now it seems I cant without a crash fairly quickly. I would like it to be just at 650 or 700 is fine. Also, when I have made it to 800, it says 800EB.
What does that mean, anyone?
What is the best voltage for 650/700?
What is the best core speed, IE: 112/133/124?
thanks in advance.
Oh, using an ABIT BH6 with latest bios. Soft Menu.

800EB means that: E coppermine core
B CPU with 133 mhz fsb

if you raise the clock speed you have also to raise the voltage.
i think 650 or 700 must run at default voltage. if your system crashes at 700 or above try to raise the voltage to 1.75 up to 1.85.
more i would not recommend.
the best fsb setting depends on your system configuration.
keep in mind that if you raise the fsb to overclock your cpu the agp and pci bus is raised too.
try to keep pci bus under 35 mhz (i think your soft bios tells you. ie 124 x 1/4 means 31 mhz pci bus and 82,6 mhz agp bus.)
the agp speed is ever fsb x 2/3

so your worst problem might be your graphics card. if you have a geforce or geforce2 never mind. these cards run always stable.
