WOOOOOO-HOOOOOO!!!!!!

I finally figured out my OC-ing problems with Bubbles and cracked it this morning: my CPU voltage wasn't posting at 1.85 like I had it set to, it was posting at 1.70 It seems the T/CUSL2-C has a quirky habit of not taking the CPU voltage adjustment the first time you change it; ya gotta change it, reboot, change it, reboot, check it in the bios monitor. (It's goofy, but I still love the mobos!

)

Anyways...I finally got it past the 113Mhz barrier and am now running my PIII800@976 rather than 928.

The happy bit is I still haven't found my ceiling yet, I just decided to keep it here for now.

I'm doing my happy geek dance, I jumped my 3dm2kse score from 5635@936Mhz to 5814@976Mhz.

I know it's nothing to brag about, but it's enough to make my day.

Nice. I can my pIII700E to run at 882 (126*7). If i go any higher it lockes up. But after some testing i found out it actually runs better at 784 (112*7). I'm not sure why but it might be that the bus runs at a faster speed when it's like that. I'm usning 1.75V. And surgestions how i can get it to run faster?

Many boards have this little quirk about having to change the voltage, reboot and then change the FSB.
I know mine does. And it's Asus too!

Might have to try it again. What volt should i use?

On what you're shooting for. A good general rule-o-thumb is don't bump it until you need to, and then do it as little as you can and see if it works.

Well then i'll just try it again. Slowly.:-)

you should get a tualatin celery mod pin mod and and o/c it and post your results.

If I knew what the heck you were talking about, I'd be more than willing to give it a try.
