soltek & 2000+xp help

[Stormbringer]

Ok I have a soltek drv5 with a AMD2000+xp cpu does anyone have some good seetings to oc this? it is unlocked (well I think it is ) I'm running 256mb pc2700 i have tried a few settings but when running benchmark tests its locks up. I have got the vcore 1.850 is this too hi or too low?

Well, you pretty much waisted your time unlocking it.

My mate has the exact same setup (except 1/2 a gig of ram), and he was abosolutly slutted when he found out that the soltek drv5 doesnt go higher than 12.5, which is what a xp2000 is locked at!

so uping the FSB is the only way..

re vcore, no idea really, should be stable.. sure its not overheating?

[I.R]

what PCI bus are you running? that board should have like a 166/33 (I think).
Also if you can get into windows but can't run any benchies it sounds like not enuff Vcore (but I aint no expert) ;)
What's the OC speed.... and what's your stepping?

the vcore is @ 1.850 which is as high as it seems to go i'm not sure about pci bus i think its at 166/33. I cant go past 11.5multiplier and 145fsb cooling seems good i'm running a volcano 7+ the temp seems to be sitting around 40c.. It is probably someting i'm doing wrong with my setup but suggestions might help :P) thanks dudes if all else fails i might change to epox or iwill mobo the other thing might be my unlocking hasnt worked that would stop me from ocing it wouldnt it. I use epoxy to fill the cuts and conductive ink to connect but it might need re doing
