Noob Oc-er With P4b266

[hunor_nam]

Hi all,

 

I'm really new to ocing... so please bear with me.

First of, my specs:

 

p4b266 rev 2 bios 1010

1.6a Willamante

stock cooling - i guess

256 DDR 2700 - no name i guess

inno gf3 ti 200

 

i got this buil recently, from components bought second hand

of courese i started documenting for ocing....

what i doo is i try to run defalut volt and going up on fsb

 

i'm stabel on 123 fsb (prime95 torture, pcmarck, 3dmark) but nothing above...

on 125 i get bsod in plain windows...

 

i use motherbord monitor 5:

idle cpu temp: arround 25c

prime torture test cpu temp gets up to 42-43c

cpu fan always betven 4150 - 4250

video fan around 5600

 

problems:

in jumper free mode, when ocing from bios, i cant set agp/pci frec. ? is it locked? how can i check it?

 

if i use switches, than i can set agp/pci bus but can't give more vcore....

 

so i'm afraid doing it from bios till i cant check agp\pci bus... have anny idea?

 

would it be a good idea to get a nortwood cpu? (i would get something at the same speed) i read some bad reviews...

 

how could i find out specs for the ram.

 

Thanks in advance, and keep up the good job
