CPU External Freq.

Post by veewvee »

Sean out there has been a great help with my attemps to make my CPU work as it should. Problem is my confusion about CPU External Freq. which is now set at 100MHz. Is it better to set it at 133? Temps now running 86d mobo, 98-100d CPU.

A7N8X Deluxe
Athlon XP 2000+ box
512 DDR333

yes it should be set to 133 133x2 = your 266 FSB
You are underclocking your chip right now
