Did you try raising the I/O voltage? That might help. My A7 manual says that it helps with overclocking. I tried moving it from 3.56 to 3.69 to see if I could get my duron 700 from 1020 to 1030, but I guess my generic pc100 just won't go any further. It's worth a try, though. I'm assuming you're talking about a duron?
Ah poor bastard that's a shitty OC, you'll have to ask for a refund. 
Assuming your using your MB options to OC, can it not go to 1.85V? If not you can fill in the remaining 2 L7 bridges to set it to 1.85. (check tom's article if you want to feel *extra* safe about doing it, but I do know my bridge settings)
What have you tried so that suggestions are not redundant?

Well Grizely1, I won't call you a moron, cause I know you aren't one. On my asus a7v, the jumper is near the top of the board, to the top right of the dimm slots. It is a four-prong jumper, and the left two are 3.3, the middle two 3.5. and the right two 3.69 . The manual suggests 3.5, but says that 3.69 helps with overclocking. I'm not sure of the results of doing it, as my attempts didn't gain me anything, but it's worth a try. I think I have an older model of A7v (I got it around november or december) so I don't know if newer models are similar. I'm sorry if this doesn't make any sense right now, unfortuneatly I've had a bit too much to drink, but this goes along with what I had to say earlier.
What kind of board are you using on this computer?

Also, I don't know if I would call that a bad oc experience, as that is still almost 300mhz over spec. Much cheaper than those p4's. This guy I know at my university was bragging to me about how it didn't matter how good of a video card he had as long as he had a P4 , he would run 3dmark2001 perfectly. He was convinced that his new p4 would get him through whatever problems he might face. I had to restrain myself from laughing in his face.

Hmm.. my board says the left two are 3.3, middle 3.45, and right are "test". whatever that means. well I changed it to "test" and the system wouldn't boot. so i switched it back and now it won't even OC to 1000. :frown: what did I do.... Is there any bios update that i can d/l that will let me do it from the bios?

The main problem Griz is that over 1ghz chips run at higher default voltages, and it is rare (not unheard of with the perfect heatsink etc.) that you could attain 1050 (100*10.5) without upping the voltage beyond 1.85. This requires the voltage mod. which I have yet worked up the guts to do. 800 runs at 1000 like it was made a 1000. Guess I can't complain to much.

try searching for a post in here not too long ago about "burning" the circuitry on your chip by running the chip at about 60 or 70 degrees C for a half an hour or so. he said he had a lot of success fsb o/c after he did this, and i believe there were a few others who confirmed this.
btw, is this your watercooled duron?

My 700 will boot up into windows at 1050, with the voltage at 1.9, but it's not stable. For some reason on my board the settings in the manual are about .05 lower than they actually are when used on the board. So 1.8 in the manual is actually 1.85, 1.85 is 1.9, and so on. If my 700 almost makes 1050, your 750 should be able to do it. I don't really know though. Hope you can get it to oc higher.

when i talked about burning in the circuitry, i meant doing it on purpose as a means to allow greater fsb o/c, i wasnt thinking that you accidenally did it

grizley, i dont think youve done anything to your duron, i just dont think it'll go any higher than what its at now...mine wont go above 1030mhz, and its at 41C when its fully loaded out...some chips just reach a ceiling i guess 🙁

okaaaaay...thats bad (as if i needed to tell you that)
ive never had that problem with a chip before but according to ppl who have, theres now not much you can do unfortunately. most durons are topping out just above a Ghz...the highest i have ever seen claimed is 1155mhz...
did you do anything harsh on the chip when you were overclocking it first, (i.e. try it at 1100 or something like that??)
by the way, where do you live??

i guess thats good news. but i can't go any higher. :frown: I will do the voltage mod and go for 1.9v and maybe a higher io.TRENDING THREADS
