I have an asus P4T533-C motherboard and a 2.0a ghz P4 processor
I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to get the fsb above 125mhz.....when i go above that it hangs....i think that it is because when i go to the next step it is at 130/42 the pci bus is at 42 and that is too high....is there any way to make the pci and agp bus stable at higher clock speeds???i have the vcore jacked up to 1.8 already...would a bigger motherboard chipset fan make it more stable???....i tried to skip a step and go to 133/33 but that hung too....oh by the way my temps at 125mhz are only at 29/31...so proper cooling isnt the prob...i have a good cooling rig in there...

the origional speed of my cpu is 2.0 ghz.....at 125 fsb its at 2.5ghz...i have 4 case fans and a swiftech mcx4000 heatsink with GEIL copper thermal compound....at 125mhz fsb my temps are at 29c(mobo)/31c(cpu)....and 30c/35c after an hour of gaming...so is there any way to make the agp/pci buses stable at higher speeds???....would a better mobo chipset fan help any???....please give me some insight.

how in the hell can you be running your computer at 130mhz agp to get that fast you would have to send like 15 volts to the agp.
most computers at stock agp speeds are only at 66mhz with that fsb you should onty be at 80 to 85mhz agp speed

but if there is some merical that your computer can handle 130mhz agp lock your agp/pci speed at 33/66 then you can overclock to what ever fsb speed you want

ok.....if you will look carefully i said that the fsb was @ 130/42<-----this numer is the pci clock speed....if you double that then you get the agp clock speed which is 84mhZ.....my bios only has a few overclocking settings.....
120/30<----i can run at this speed easy
120/40<----no problem with this speed either
122/41<----at this speed my temps are 28/31
125/42<----now they are at 29/32
130/43<----it crashes, agp clock is too high
133/44
133/33<----so the next step is here but it hangs every time......so what should i do to keep it from hanging...temperature doesnt seem to be the problem...i have the vcore all the way up and i have the latest bios....what am i doing wrong????
