Voltage -no effect-

[Guest]

i've manage to overclock my thunderbirb 900 to 1081 (10.5x103) 1.85v 100% stable on asus A7V... Then tried 11x103, windows didn't load... With higher voltage, tried from 1.85 to 2.11, windows was o.k. but system wasn't stable, 3dmark2000 failed... Why didn't the increased voltage made the CPU stable???
Any hints are very welcome.

Hum 1.1Ghz/103 for a TBird 900 seems to me to be a bit on the limit...

Well you could consider de fact of the heat not allowing the TB900 going over 1.1Ghz... and you really should consider the heat factor BEFORE increasing the voltage like that

If all it would take to make a processor stable would be to increase the voltage then it would be really simple to OC a processor wouldn't it? Just bump it up to 110v and there you go!

But even with a very good cooler don't expect miracles as i have my doubts that a TB900 will go beyound 1.1Ghz

You may be at your CPU's limit. More CPU cooling might work.
