Built this myself Dec of 02
Has run fine till i dis-assembled and did a complete
interior cleaning. I was getting rather hot cpu temps and
cleaned and re-aplied artic-silver.
Upon 1st boot got blue screen. Re-booted and it immediatly
went to bios screen. F10 > saved and continued. Now every-
thing booted fine. Checked sisoft and see my cpu speed is
now 2.15 Ghz. Beore the cleaning was 2.25 and stable for past
year. Ran 3Dmark 2001 and got a 13500 - Scored 14850 before
the cleaning.
My Bios settings:
CPU Speed [manual]
CPU External Freq (mhz) [166/33]
Memory Freq (mhz) [333]
CPU Vcore setting [auto]
CPU Vcore [1.650V]
CHIP Configeration
sdram config [user defined]
cas latency [2.oT (ddr)]
ras to cas delay [3T]
ras precharge delay [3T]
active precharge delay [6T]
sdram 1T command Control [enabled]
SDRAM bank interleave [4 bank]
Hopefully i've supplied enough information , as i really
need some advice as to why my puter is now running a tad
slower now after the tinkering.
Need any type of help you can give me in regards to correct
bios settings.I've never had much luck incresasing memory
timings [post failure with anything lower than 2-3-3-6
I'm figuring my changes would be in cpu speed via mutiplyer-
external freq-vcore settings.So this is the area i need help with.
Thanks to anyone willing to work with me on this.
