Problem O/C PII333@500 - Voltage Related?

[Top Dollar]

Hey,

I've O/C'd my PII333 to 400 without a hitch, but when I try for 500, nothing happens..just a black screen (no video output).

I've got an ASUS P3b-f, so changing the voltage should be no prob...it's at 2.00 now. Will that solve the prob..and if so, what's a reasonably safe increase range.

Thx

Sounds like you have a pre-august 98' chip, with a limited, rather than locked, multiplier. I've got a couple of those chips, and only one would ever do 4x112 for 448. Most of them will run 412 (4x103) or 400 with decent cooling.

Well, the CPU was bought August of last year...though the multiplier was set at 5.0 originally...

I'll try getting it up to 450...worst I could do is have to buy a celey after I burn something out.

Anyone have any exp with a GlobalWin Vek-32?
Is it a good heatsink/fan combo?
