Don't overclock/tweak ANYTHING. I have an Abit KT7-RAID that got handed down to me because it was flaking out and the owner just gave up and bought a new machine. Abit is known for being overclocker/tweaker friendly. I eventually determined I can't really bump up ANY of the many timing options at all without getting constant hangs. In fact I have to undervolt the CPU by .05v to get it rock solid. (Athlon 900, yes, big ass heatsink, thermal grease, case full of fans, still barely keeps cool enough on a hot day...) If I even bump the FSB speed up by a single mhz it gets really unstable again. The caps look really unhappy, maybe I should replace those... -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
