    OK I will try that next. I got the latest BIOS which is prolly 20. I used the Flashmenu and downloaded it.

    Make sure you turn off EVERYTHING before you flash.

    What do you mean everything? I did it with the Flashmenu in Windows with IE open prolly. And which version is best? 17? 18?

    By everything I mean... Before you open flashmenu, ctrl alt del, select username, close everything under your username besides explorer.exe, open abit flashmenu and proceed to flash.

    Which version of the flashmenu or which bios version? I can't answer either one :-/

    Flashed to BIOS 19 and am now running at 9.5*200.

    I just popped in my Athlon Tbred and set the multiplier and FSB to 200/10.
    I also upped the vcore to 1.7.
    I has been running flawlessly at this speed since early may.
    I believe I started out with bios 15. (Depends on what bios the rev 2.0 was shipped with?)

    Everything is maxed out in bios.
    Do you want to see my bios settings as well?

    EDIT: All other voltages is at default.
    That includes, agp voltage and chipset voltage.

    what about 10 * 200? How about 9.5 * 210?

    In re Ceramique taking a LONG time to cure in-- my Barton 2500+ CPU is running about 14-15C above case tempurature at this point, 40-43 C under full load(depends on ambient in case, which floats from 25-30 C depending on room temps). What Ceramique does, is first bond, then the vehicle vaporizes over time. the remaining stuff is like ceramic thermal-only conductor. I have been using this box a lot, CPU acording to mbm5 has been 100% load for over 72 hours at last look in logs (which I have on a 30 min cycle, 1000 lines max).

    Ceramique LIKES a high-heat cure.

    John-- folding a p1039 at less than 5 min per percentage point, estimate an 8-9 hour turn in time per p1000 WU out of the Barton at this time as WU percentage completion time is decreasing as WU work progresses. I have client on LOW (not idle) priority, all option switches active (-forceasm, -forcesse, -advmethods all specified in run shortcut both on desktop and in program files startup icons).

    I am running at 9.5*210 now. I left it like that overnight since I ran 3dmark several times at that speed. It did exit out of 3dmark several times and froze around 8:30.

    mmonnin see if lowering your chipset voltage from 1.7 to 1.6 or 1.5 helps

    Why would that help? I would think it needs more voltage because I am past its rated speed. It did run all day. Its at 44C now.

    I dont think I said it but I did AS3 the northbridge fan HS. Thing looks cool but I dont think it does much at all.

    I've read a little bit at the Abit forums and it seems like d10.bin is the best BIOS for overclocking. It also says there are compatibility issues with HyperX which is what I have. I dont know what BIOS to use. BIOS 14 is the first one that has the fixed hyperx issues.

    I tried 210*10 and it wouldnt even boot. Remembering the 10 and 10.5 multi problems I tried 11 which worked. Running at 2.3 now. 3dmark crashed sometimes but FAH has been stable so far.

    I am gonna have to try the 166 FSB mod and a different BIOS so see if I can get a higher FSB.

    i noticed in your first post, you had the chipset voltage "up'ed to the max".

    is it still maxed out? at 200fsb default voltage is enough, and it could be that with the stock northbridge fan, its generating to much heat.

    Good work. Just what i said about 15 posts up. 10 and 10.5 is junk on all bioses except D10.

    OK I got the 10d Bios and I L12 modded my CPU to 166. My lowest option for my 1800+ in the BIOS is a 2600+ so I think it worked.

    I did notice that it was the green packaging and I could see the traces running across the chip. I thought that meant it was locked and couldnt be wire modded?

    It looks kinda like this.

    Same one.

    Not FAH stable at 11.5*205 or anything above that speed. Wont boot into windows at 12*200 either. Seems like 200*11.5 is the best I can do even with the mod and a better OCing BIOS. Guess I am stuck at 2.3.

    Are we sure we have good heatsink cpu contact here?

    Temps are good. 46C now but it will down a few since I just put on some AS5 and that will take a few days to cure.
