USER DEFINED:
When you choose the User Define, you will be able to set the following five items:
CPU FSB Clock:
66MHz
75MHz(1/2)*
83MHz(1/2)*
84MHz - 200MHz
Multiplier factor:
x2
x2.5
x3
x3.5
...and on thru x11
SEL 100/66# Signal:
Default and low
AGP Clock/CPU FSB Clock:
1/1 and 2/3
PCI Clock/CPU FSB Clock:
1/2
1/3
1/4
AGP Transfer mode:
Default
Normal
CPU Core Voltage
I/O Voltage
In Order Queue Depth
1-8
Level 2 Cache Latency
Default and 1 thru 15
Looks like more than 5 items to me. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
EDIT
891MHz
I had to do it twice to catch it... then I figured out I could use the Pause/Break button https://discussions.virtualdr.com/

Just rambling.....I edited, then I saw you posted at the same time as me on the upper post. You may think I didn't do it yet so I am bumping with this post.
-
OK...you at 891mhz--that chip is capable of more---at least break 900. Up it one more notch. I think that'll do it.
-
I set it at 138 this time and it says 904MHz now. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
-
When you break that 900, the next thing I want you to do is go into windows and run the 3dMark demo (not the benchmark), then reboot back into the BIOS and check the CPU temperature. Not sure what entry in your BIOS has that, but most newer BIOS's have a temp check. Post back with that temp reading.
-
I remember where the temp is in the BIOS I'll run the 3D Mark now and check it... then be back....hopefully https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
Don't smell any smoke anyways.
-
Hopefully you aren't reading this after the fact, but if the demo hangs or crashes, we'll have to cut back a little on the chip (shouldn't though). Just real curious on that temp reading--need it in Celcius.

System Temperature 22C/71F
CPU Temperature 31C/87F

Congratulations. You are now the proud owner of a 931 mhz system. You have entered into the Hallowed Halls of Speedy Systems. Those temps are quite acceptable, Ms. Overclock.

Now run the benchmark--might see a slight increase. Again though, take those benchmark scores with a grain of salt---have seen 200 to 300 point differences in consecutive tests with no changes.

When you desgined you system greengoose, why did you choose the BX chipset over all others. there seems to be soo many to choose from. Do u guys have any sites that explain the pros and cons of popular chipsets?
-
Good question, viper. If going with an Intel PIII, the BX chipset is probably the most stable. That's why I recommended it to these guys. Can run/overclock with fewer problems. While other chipsets are good (i.e: VIA), I thought the BX would be perfect for these guys--fewer hangups.
-
Oh, ok, just wondering, do you have any sites that compare the popular chipsets? I am in the process of building my own PC but cant decide if I should get the Abit BX since I want to play Quake and Unreal and it onyl supports AGP 2x not 4x :-(
-
3DMark score 5534 https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
System temp 23C
CPU temp 30C

I've played both Quake and Unreal on a Diamond Viper TNT2 770 (now considered a legacy card) on a mobo that only had 2x AGP. Both played very well. Now, if you are upgrading, definitely get the 4X support. Thousands of sites out there for that. Suggest you do a net search with keywords like Chipset reviews or comparisons, etc.
What would be considered "major" chipsets for Intel-based would be BX or 810 (and above) Intel chipsets, and VIA.
