CPU Speed
Recently got an XP2600, but it doesn't seem to be very stable when I try to run it at the 333mhz "stock" speed??

Model number is AXDA2600KV3D, so it should run at 333 ??

Should I increase the voltage, or is there something else that I'm missing??

BTW it runs rock solid stable at 266 speeds.

Where did you buy the processor? There was a story that was posted here on TechIMO about AMD processors being re-marked. I dunno, but it could be a possibility.

Bought it online as an "OEM" from a reputable UK dealer, but reading that article is quite worrying.

AXDA2600KV3D

The "D" would indicate that it's a 333 fsb cpu.

Thats the way I understand it, which is why I'm confused and frustrated as to why it's so unstable at 333...
I'm forced to run it at 266 speeds ATM just to be able to use it.

What motherboard is the CPU in, and what type of RAM are you currently using?

Could it possibly be the ram? What type of ram you running and at what speed?

MSI KT4VL motherboard, and PC2700 ram...

I suspect it may be due to different components running at different speeds, but still a bit of a newbie with AMD, so I'm not really sure how to resolve that?!

The pc2700 are made to run at 333 ddr so your mem's fsb is set at 166? Look in your bios to see if the mem fsb is 166.

Can you adjust the memory clock separately from the CPU fsb on that motherboard? I'm not too familiar with VIA KT400 boards, but if you can, try setting the memory clock to PC2700 speeds, and leave the CPU FSB at 133MHz (266DDR) and see what happens. If it's rock solid, then it's most likely the CPU. If it's flaky still, it's probably the memory. In that case, you're going to want to check the memory manufacturer's specs as to what voltages and timings you need to run it at (not all memory is created equal), and if it is, then RMA that. If the system is fine at 133/166 (266/333DDR) then RMA the CPU, or increase the core voltage. But, if it were me, I'd RMA it instead of upping the core voltage. It's a new CPU, and it should run at default voltages.

Quick question, though, what kind of Power supply are you running, and can you give full system specs?
