alrite...heres my rig

Duron 1.0Gig@1.2GIG
ECS k7s5a - 133fsb
Msi geforce 3 ti-200
Enermax 300Watt
Detonator 23.11

I system iniitally was running at 9x124fsb - 1.13Gig

I was doing some benchmarks...3dmark2001...when i still had my 124fsb...during the NATURE TESTS...my avg fps was about 40...

however..when i OCed it to 9x133 = 1.2gig....my fps in NATURE actualy DROPPED to about 30....

i couldnt really compare 3dmarks...cos at 133fsb...i would suddenly reboot after the end of sprite test.

temps are 38idle/42load

all i have to say is......HUH??????

help me out here pls

First you didn't have your video OC'd right ? You may be haveing better luck at 124 with the rest of the settings that go along with it . You probably can't adjust all the different settings individualy on that board like CPU , FSB and PCI bus speeds . So when you up to 133 it may be making your PCI bus speed to high and unstable ! What are all the settings when you messed with the BIOS set at . Is it something like 133/133/34 ? You can try to uninstall the drivers for the video and then reinstall and run 3D bench and see what happens . It sounds like your PCI bus speed is out of whack to . You can run Sisoft Sandra and that can tell you a lot too . Good luck .

hmm...but i thought at 110 and 112fsb my pCI bus speed was higher than when it is at 133fsb.

because my system runs fine at 110 and 112fsb so im thinking interms of bus speed wise, it shoud be a OK.

It just depends on what adjustments are given . On my previous board it had adjustments like this .... CPU/SDRAM/PCI clock and would go from something like 105/105/33 to 112/112/30 which would be cranking everything up but the PCI clock . It ran real stable like that because the PCI clock was brought down . It all depends on the board and BIOS .
