Pentium4 Overclocking

My second thread.....

Have a P4 2.4, 533mhz bus version. Trying to overclock using LEXBN400 m/b with via's P4X400 chipset. All good to 2.7gig, anything above causes Windows starting issues. Chip is water cooled - no temp problems. Mainboard not so flexible, can't hold PCI/AGP bus frequencies. Memory good. Any ideas?

I'm assuming that your FSB at 2.7GHz is 150. If so, then there's a couple factors that could be affecting your overclock.

You mentioned the PCI/AGP cannot be locked. Well, running some devices out of PCI spec (hard disks, expansion cards), even a tiny bit, could cause you problems. I'm not extremely familiar with the P4X400 chipset, but if it doesn't have the proper divisor for the PCI/AGP busses, then you're going to be overclocking them as well, and something on either of those busses may not like it that much. If that's the case, then you're probably at the limit of your overclock. You might want to see if juicing up the video card helps out any with the AGP bus, but from what I've seen in the past, the hard-disks tend to get fudgy first.

You say your memory is good, what speed is it? Need more info on this before I can rule that out as a possible culprit.

Also, if the chipset doesn't support anything higher than the 533MHz FSB P4's, then there's also a chance that the chipset could have hit it's limits for the CPU host clock. You might (if you haven't already) try upping the VCore of the CPU, and seeing where that gets you. If it doesn't help, then I'm thinkin that you're only gonna get to 2.7 (which still isn't a bad overclock, for a 533MHz FSB P4).


Hope some of this helps.

There are numerous numbers of threads about overclocking a P4.

Pentium 4 overclocking

Ok beppodmime, some more info.......

Yep, FSB at 150, will go higher - up to 156 ( about 2.8gig I think ) but get stability probs.
M/Board supports upto 200 Fsb
Memory is DDR400 - so not near its limit.
Not sure about the max cpu the board supports....., have just ordered a new bios so that may help.
You're probably right about pci/agp speeds......

Thanks for help, may post a new thread when new bios is installed!

(ordered a new bios??)

if you have an option to increase the Core Voltage, that will help you get more stable overclocks. I am not familiar with your motherboard, so I don't even know if there is a BIOS option or jumper to increase this voltage. Do note that increasing voltage increases the temperature of the CPU.

Pentium 4 Overclocking

Ok, will throw another goodun' at everyone.....

Bios is updated, no change. Just read an article on a program called 'FliteDeck' from Via. This gives full bios options from Windows, so they say. Good for overclocking. Anyone had experience of this program? Where can I get it?

Good links get a xmas card next year!

Cheers

Hrm.. I've never used FliteDeck, and I have no clue how well (or if) it will work on your system. I found a direct download link here (Flite Deck v2.6.0829)

Flite Deck

Cheers for the link 'rp'

No joy, Flite Deck' not suitable for my bios version........

Might have a look around and maybe contact via and see what they have to say.
I suppose Flite Deck just had to be too easy

Gonna start another thread on Xp2600 overclocking!
