Best BIOS settings for overclocked Soyo 6BA+100

Check my sig for system specs. I am awfully perplexed that I can't get it stable above 976MHz http://discussions.hardwarecentral.com/mad.gif

Here's what I have so far:

CPU @ 124/31=984MHz
AGP @ 82MHz
RAM @ 3-2-2

Windows apps, NFS IV and V will run no problems/lock-ups...but I can't even get 3DM2K to start first test and Star Trek Elite Force locks once you get into a shootout with the Borg http://discussions.hardwarecentral.com/smile.gif

Even at 976 it is a little iffy! BTW...CPU temps are 29ºC idle and 36ºC load respectively.

I've already given you whatever advice I can in your previous posts. But I'll bump it up so someone else can respond.

Thanks for the bump http://discussions.hardwarecentral.com/biggrin.gif

3dmark is very sensitive to oc'ed cpu's, (as are some games), try running Prime95 (www.mersenne.org) if it quits with a illegal sumouts or hardware errors etc. it'll mean ure cpu isnt stable at that speed, if so u can try to raise the core voltage to stablise it.

Aren't registry errors normally associated with RAM? I am currently running at 990, @ 1.94V, but of course 3DM2K will not even finish first test? I set RAM to 3-3-2 and still no dice. At 2.0V I get Windows Protection errors http://discussions.hardwarecentral.com/mad.gif

It odd because I had it boot and run fine a couple of times at 1,008, but the other morning whilst booting into Windows I got registry errors. Go figure! I guess I may just have to suffice with 976!!

i've got a soyo 6ba/w u66 not 100 but same damn boards...anyhow...i've got a p3 800 slot in it and can't get past 1008 stable cause no peliers yet or not enough voltage...i'm cranked at 10% but its only 1.82-1.84 i'm gonna mod my slot1 to either 1.75 or 1.85 volts to give more flexability
then 10% should get up to 2.0v...i wish i would have gotten a fcpga instead...i'm really not lookin forward to cuttin pins...
to the point i think its not the memory cause i have the same memory too only 2 sticks of 128meg....no problems there i hit 150+at 2,3,3 already...my sys has no problems runnin al day long at 1008 but no 1066 yet...remember i'm only runnin 1.85ish vcore i'm surprised the xtra vcore u got going on doesn't help the cpu at all? and kinda bummin cause i want like 1100+ out of this by the time im done...so maybe the xtra vcore will help me...but my temps are alot lower too like 22c tops after 100%load forever..liquid cooled no peltiers...i think the problem is somethin with the video card underclock ur vid card and see if u gain any stablility at higher speeds...then maybe u will have some idea...
