OC not reading on Sandra or WCPUID

Wavey

I increased my Fsb to 133 from 100 so I should be clocking at about 20*133= 2.6 GHz.

I ran a cpu check with Sandra and WCPUID but both programs give me my original speed of 2.0GHz.

Its a P4 2.0 Gig on an ABIT BG7 mobo. What am I missing here?
Is the FSB all you have to change for the overclock to have an effect?

Any ideas?

Don't try such a big of jump in fsb all at once move it up incrementally . Your motherboard might be reverting to default settings if it is too unstable . There might be an option in the bios to turn this off cant remember the name of it and i don't have your board so i wouldn't be sure if it is there.

Cheers dude,

I got lost all the 133's and 166's ya hear with regards fsb's and clock speeds.
Managed to get it up to 129 after all. Not too bad for a noob:p

Had to up the Core voltage to get this though.
does the Vdimm voltage have anything to do with stability (could i get more fsb if i increased Vdimm?)

Come to mention it, heres a cupla options in my bios. Can I alter any of these to get more of an O/C? I've heard the Ram timings can do somthing.

PCI Bus Freq: EXT Clock/3
EXT Clock/4
44 MHz fixed
37 MHz fixed
33 MHz fixed

DRAM Ratio H/W Strap: low
high
by CPU

DRAM Ratio (CPU:DRAM) 1:1
3:4
by SPD

DRAM Timing: by SPD
CAS Latency Time 2.5
Act to precharge delay 7
DRAM RAS# to CAS# 3
DRAM RAS# Precharge 3


Anybody familiar with these settings?

BabyEater

If you have good RAM try to reduce the following settings
CAS Latency Time 2.5
Act to precharge delay 7
DRAM RAS# to CAS# 3
DRAM RAS# Precharge 3
to something like
CAS Latency Time 2
Act to precharge delay 6
DRAM RAS# to CAS# 2
DRAM RAS# Precharge 2
this should help performance.

Cheers babyeater

Tried those timings but my pc wouldnt start and it sounded like Bender when he's drunk.

So I reset the cmos and went to bed.:D

PCI Bus Freq: EXT Clock/3
EXT Clock/4
44 MHz fixed
37 MHz fixed
33 MHz fixed Set to this!!!!!!!

DRAM Ratio H/W Strap: low
high
by CPU Set to High

DRAM Ratio (CPURAM) 1:1
3:4
by SPD Option above set to high will unlock a 4:5 divider use this

DRAM Timing: by SPD try
CAS Latency Time 2
Act to precharge delay 7
DRAM RAS# to CAS# 3
DRAM RAS# Precharge 2

set the cpu vcore to +10% and the v-dimm to 2.8
