I just bought an ASUS A7V333 Motherboard with an AMD XP1800+ and some Corsair 256Megs PC2700 RAM.
Question: I've read all sorts of things on how 'easy' this board is to overclock. Fair enough. I jump on into the BIOS and raise the setting from 133/33 to 166/33. I can do this, I think, because my RAM is rated that high correct?? And the 33 doesn't screw up any AGP or PCI or what have you. Well, after doing this my system on restart automatically goes to the BIOS and states words to the effect "You have a frequency problem..fix it dumbass!"
Granted, I haven't fiddled around too much besides bumping up to 145/36 and having the same thing happen.
Problems I 'might' be having. Not enough Power to CPU or memory...if so..what's a good number. I've misunderstood what I should be able to oc and I'm going waaay to high. I should mention I dropped the multiplier to 10X instead of 11.5. Is it locked?? No clue as I got the mobo and CPU with fan attached and since it keeps locking up I can't check (don't wanna look manually...broken two cores trying to put the damn fans back on)
So to all you A7V333 oc'ers out there....can you please let me know what I'm doing wrong or not understanding? Thanks.
