Well, Insane3D started this topic and glued a heatsink to the NorthBridge. I would prefer to use mounting holes but that just me :). But changing HS on the northbridge probably void warranty so I will wait some time to be sure thah my motherboard is working OK. And since I'm not planing to with...
Isn't your SB heatsink blocking PCI slots? I mean when you put heatsink on SB you can't put PCI cards into 1st and 2nd PCI slot. Right? Well maybe just 2nd slot.
I think of putting a heatsink on SB myself and probably I just glue an old 486 heatsink to the SB (its low enough to not obstruct PCI...
Yes, but with my old Biostar motherboard (and previous one; both ATX) my PS2 mouse and PS2 keyboard were OFF.
So this behavior is specific to this EPoX motherboard and I don't like this. When computer is OFF it must be OFF !
What about Northbridge? Should I provide better cooling fot it? I did some tests and EPoX showed CPU temp 41 Celsiuc and mobo temp 32C while memory had 42 C. All temps under load of Prime95 with CPU running at 10 x 166, memory 2 x 166. I would like to stay with these settings (maybe a little...
Yes, it's 1.5V :) I don't mean to oc memory and I'll stay with 166 x 2 and use 166 MHz for FSB to stay in sync.
I think I just stay with 166x 10 or 11 (1666 MHz or 1826 MHz) perhaps 12 (2000 MHz !).
I wonder if these setting are dangerous for my CPU AND motherboard.
Now with 1666MHz I have 42...
Hi,
could you tell me what difference makes to this processor when I set frequency as 9 x 166 = 1500 MHz while default is 11 x 133 = 1466?
Is this setting secure or processor IS oveclocked (and I'm not talking about 40 MHz difference)??

My system:
EPoX 8RDA
Athlon XP 1700+ (...
I just upgraded BIOS to 8RD13305 and it works fine. Just 54 minutes of Prime95.
Just another thing. When I overclock CPU (T-Bred B 1700+ 11x133 default) to, say, 9x 166 = 1500 and my DDR333 memory works in sync (2x166) what else is overclocked? Northbridge? Southbridge? Or just CPU?

Hi,
could you tell me why keyboard and mouse still have power when my system is off??
Can I disable this in BIOS? I don't want my optical mouse to light all the time.
Best Regards
Wojtek
yeah, I got Epox 8RDA mobo and the problem has gone :).
Though with standard settings 3DMark2001SE doesn't give anything better results than with my Biostar M7VIP mbm.
But now I have plenty of room for OC :)

Could you recommend something cheaper? I have Athlon XP 1700+ and DDR 333 memory and I don't need anything faster. I mean I don't need anything for DDR 400 !
Best regards

Now, I don't quite get it... I have Athlon XP 1700+ (the one VERY suitable for overclocking - AXDA 1700 DLT3C 9390257270466 JIUHB 0310 WPMW) which runs 11 x 133 Mhz and DDR memory running at 333 Mhz . Now, I can't change multiplier on CPU (how can I do that?? Schould I have special motherboard...
I Have Thermaltake Hardcano II and one sensor I put on memory (33 up to 40 Celsius) and another one on the back of my Radeon 9000 card where the GPU is on the other side (with Zalman HP-80A - around 40 Celsius in use).
CPU and HDD have their own temp measurment (CPU - 38 C under load :) with...
