Hercules Kyro 2 4500 OVERCLOCKING

[Guest]

Just some notes about what I've been able to do.

My board from Hercules came with 5ns RAM on the card.

Using PowerStrip 3 Beta (Build 143) I can hit 200Mhz. There are rendering problems at this speed.

195 There are fewer but still there.

192 still a tad smidgen.

190 runs fine.

So, I can hit 190Mhz without troubles at all.

Note: The heatsink is rather pathetic so I ponder what a more effecient colling method would yield.

was it retail or OEM version? (i heard OEM has the 5.5ns ram, not sure tho)

Athlon-C 1.33@1.5
Asus A7M266 @ 150 MHz FSB
2x 256 MB CAS 2.5 Crucial PC2100 SDRAM @ CAS 2/2/2

My particular card is Retail. SHipped from Hercules. It has 5.0ns RAM on board.

I have heard the same about OEm versions. Can't tell you if it's true though, sorry.

As for overclocking. I've put a new heatsink on it and I only get 3 more MHz stable. Not worth it in my opinion (or the loss of a PCI slot to accomdate the heatsink and fan.)

navguy I have the same setup as you, tbird 1.33 and A7M266 and I can't get my FSB over 140 at all, and 140 is very unstable. Could you tell me what you did, and what your bios settings are and what not? if you want to email me you can at adfuxor@hotmail.com or talk to me on ICQ @ 44844012
I'd appreciate any help
