Problem with 550E @733mhz. Computer gives no response, HELP!!

[Chipman_343]

Ok, Im using a 550E copper, on an Abit-BE6-2
with 128meg (2 64's) or PC-100 ram. I went
in my bios and set the thing to run at 733.
5.5*133. Cas all set to 3-3-3. When I rebooted right after it tells my chip speed
it locks up. What could this be? Ram? Cas?
I Left my voltage at default of 1.6v
What some good advice. Also I really can't
afford to have this chip frie so whats the
max voltage this thing will take before it
goes out the door? Thanks

Hey chipman

are u sure that chip can go that high?

sorry i haven't heard any o/c topics on the 550e, but what is the highest someone has got that chip to

are you sure that the ram can do 133?
If you have access to some pc133 give it a try and see if this is your problem

I'm pretty sure it's your ram, I have tried to run some pc-100@133 and it locked up after it displayed the amount of ram.
Which was kinda wierd cause it said i had only 50megs when in reality i have 96megs.

Is this thing on??

Quite a number of them goto the 800 range w/cB0 stepping, I think it is his memory.

Yeah Chipman its your memory. Get some good micron PC133 memory, Mushkin is too expensive. My micron memory can do 147@CAS2 and 160@CAS3 maybe higher for both of them who knows.

try increasing the voltage little bit.... but this thing should run fine at 733@1.65V


i used to run my 550 at 710Mhz(124FSB)..... my memoery was not allowing 133FSB!

I have my P3 550@733 no problem. PC133 RAM, 1.70 v. Runs sweet! You may have to set your RAM -33

RAM can't be set @ -33M on a BX board!

In addition to what Nuts4GTS said, even you had a VIA board and could set the SDRAM at -33 MHz, what's the point. The CPU may be flying, but the system would be no faster with slow memory.
