Since I have a PII 710 (got it on sale for 100 bucks, couldn't pass on it) on the way, I thought I'd try my hand at overclocking the BE2400 I'm running right now.

I was hoping for about 200 more MHz to hit 3GHz but, I'm surprised I got this far with the thing because of the board. Atleast I know I can hit 245 on the FSB, which multiplied by the 13x multiplier of the 710 I should be able to hit over 3GHz.




The weird thing is... I kinda want to do it more just to see how far it can go. It's proved stable so far, couple runs of P95 and about two hours of Red Orchestra. Is overclocking like a crack addiction? :D
 
try 1.38v you should hit 3ghz with that.. my x2 be-2350 runs 3.05ghz @ 1.38v @ 50C on the stock cooler.. the be-2350 has a 10.5x200 for 2.1ghz it runs at 290x10.5 for 3.05ghz..

from what i can see in the picture.. your limiting factor is that your HT link speed is to high.. its putting to much strain on the northbridge.. try lowering so its as close to 1000mhz(2000mhz) as possible.. try setting it at 3x and see how far you can push the FSB after that.. i believe the highest HT link clock i could run on my be-2350 was 1200mhz(2400mhz)..

also i hope 1.9v isnt your real cpu voltage..
