XP2100 TB B-core

11th March 2003, 19:10

Hi

I got a question. I have a brand new XP2100+ running on an Abit KX7-333. At this moment the cpu is running very stable at 13*177, or 2300 Mhz and this with 1.775Vcore. Now , when i increase my FSB one more, the computer crashes. I can't get it stable. I already tried to increase Vcore a little more (max 1.85), but it just won't work.

In my BIOS, all multipliers below 13 are available, but when i decrease my multiplier, the CPU won't POST any more and i have to clear CMOS and restart. What's the reason for this? Weren't all T'Bred B's unlocked out of the box?

What is my problem? Is my motherboard the limiting element here? CPU doesn't hit 50 when Priming for hours, so temp is no problem.

it can be just your CPU running out of juice

if you run Prime95 @ 13*177 does it run without a glitch for a long time?

what is the code on the core ?

Core is AIUHB, week 0302, one of the better 2100's as far as i've read. I'm pretty sure the Cpu is a far end away from its max. If i see that people put 2V through their Throughbreds to reach the max, i still have a long way to go. And absolutely without a glitch. Ran all night long. No problem at all.

Piotke: Well, i ordered a TBred A XP2000 at overclockers.co.uk and got this nice toy. There were some problems with other items i ordered. This is their way of saying sorry. Nice huh?

Memory is not even running at the speed it's made for. Corsair PC3500. Anybody who already succeeded in reach ~200 FSB on this mobo?

220+ even

KX7 is "da ****"

you have to look elsewhere for the bottleneck
remove PCI cards, IDE drives/cdrom

kx7-333 kan handle fsb 210, to bad my hard disk can't handle it.

Could even go higher, but I don't feel like reïnstalling windows after every boot.

Hmm, could a PCI-Raid card be dze problem? And i guess i can't just pull the card out and plug in my two HD's? Reinstall everything is the only solution?

On the other hand with my current dividers i have this:

177 : 70 : 35. That's not far out of spec? Could the pussy-card have problems with this?

Raid cards are known to be flaky
