Abit KV7 overclocking woes

Captain_Morgan · 31-March-04, 06:03 PM

I have an Abit KV7 mb with a locked 2500+ barton. My memory is ElCheapo, but it is ddr400. This motherboard doesn't lock the agp/pci speeds I don't think. My problem is when I try to set my fsb past 176 at 5:2:1, my computer locks up and I have to reset my CMOS. I tried setting the divider to 6:2:1 and the fsb at 200, which I think should work, but it still does the same thing. It may have something to do with my memory speeds. I am a newbie at overclocking so any help anyone could give me would be greatly appreciated.

Have you tried raising the voltage 1 notch (.25v) to the CPU?
It might add some stabilty and let you push it a bit more.
Just watch your temps
