    Coppermine Overclocking Thread

    I thought it is about time to start an overclocking Thread for Coppermines.

    I'm currently running a P3-700E on a BE6 with 256MB of Micron -8E PC100. I can get it to run very stable at 124x1/3 at 868MHz at 1.8 volts.

    My problems is I can't get it to boot into Windows at 133MHz FSB. It will stall at the Windows splash screen. I have moved the Alpha's 60mm fans off the motherboard power and connected them directly to the power supply to eliminate excess noise on the motherboard. This eliminated the registry errors I was getting.
    The main problem I'm having now appears to be with the onboard HighPoint controllers for my hard drives. I have tried various settings and have to set both hard drives to PIO3 to get them to function.

    Anyone have any suggestions????

    Get a Be6-2 so you can set a 1/4 pci bus in 1 mhz steps and sell yours to someone with less ambition..Im running a bf6 now after trading up from a be6 and The best it would do was 124 x 1/4..Now I can run at 137 x 1/4 no sweat I just need a CPU ...Have you tried 133 x 1/4 I think your board will do that ???
    Good luck Matt

        I already tried 133x1/4 and no go. At 124x1/3 I can keep my hard drives set at UDMA 4. At 133MHz they must be set at PIO 3 or 4 or the system can't find them (get the "insert system disk" error).

          You may have reached the limit on that cpu..Tell you what ..send it to me an I'll check it on my setup..No charge...

              you probably just need better cooling on that cpu, or it could be your ram/video card.

                I have been following the Coppermine O/C around the web and it seems that the 700e won't do 133...
                Keep trying! I can see why 868 is bumming you out! Please get help ! heheh

                    The BE/6 is capable of handling the 133/FSB... I'm not certain of the Highpoint controllers... I use SCSI... From what I've read, the 700E has made it to 900Mhz at least... The coppermine .18 has had some tremendous amounts of OC'ing done to it (albeit in the 550 and 600 mhz units) some have hit FSB's as high as 180 and run stable...

                    I will let you know if my 700e hits 133 or higher. The new SCSI controller is designed for the new faster/wider 64Bit PCI bus, so I'm thinking it may take to OC'ing the PCI bus to 37.5 a little better. That would make for 150Mhz FSB, 100Mhz AGP and 1050 for a total CPU speed... Ambitious - You bet - will it succeed - I don't know - but that's where the fun is - in trying....

                      Paul,

                      Have you slowed down your memory timing? ie CAS/RAS 3/3 or 4/3 to see if that helps..

                      My troubles with 133 stemmed from the fact that my memory was only stable to 129Mhz. Not even that in the BE6. I had to buy the PC133HSDRAM (4.6ns) to get to that plateau...

                        My PC100 is Micron -8E and is rated at 125MHz. It runs at 124Mhz at CAS 2 nicely. I do set it to CAS 3 for my 133MHz attempts. It well may be as LAMF stated,that the processor won't handle much more.

                          Paul,

                          Have you tried booting w/o the L2 cache at the 133fsb? If you can run Windows "stable" at this point, then it is most likely your processor that is holding you back. And if it's not stable, the search for the weak link continues...

                          Oh, if you haven't read this story yet, check out <a href="http://www.overclockers.com/tips54/">http://www.overclockers.com/tips54/</a>. He was able to run a 650e at 975, albeit with a peltier.

                              Hello Guyver,

                              If the Adaptec Ultra3/160 Wide card is designed for 64-bit PCI how will it fit the BE6? 64-bit (66MHz) PCI slots are a different (not backward compatible) design.
