T-Bird 800 is only at 950 :(

[Nutdotnet]

Well so far I have only managed to get this guy up to 950. I am pretty sure it is not a temp prob. I bumped up the voltage to 1.85 and tried to get 1gig. Booted up to windows fine. Temp was okay. But Quake 3 would lock up as well as 3d Mark 2000. Right now I am at 950 at default voltage (1.75, I think is default anyways). And runs SMOOTH. I have only used the multiplier, haven't used any FSB OCing as my RAM sux and waiting to get a sweet schtick of Corsair PC133 CAS2 stuff.
Anyone have any suggestions or am I SOL?

Oh yeah, is there anyway to go higer than 1.85 other than modding the mobo?

Sounds like to me that you are not doing something right with your setup.

i have the same setup as you asus a7v and t-bird 800 i was only able to get it up to 950 also. It seems thats what most people i have talked to are getting too.

Yeah it sounds like it just needs a little more voltage. But I am not about to go solder my board to do it.

I have my 800 running at 1050 with no problems with 3Dmark 2000. I did notice that when I have the voltage set at 1.85 when I check the voltage in windows with Asus monitor, it is reading 1.9-1.92. So, it could be my board pumps a bit more juice than some. I know of no other way than to modify the board to up the voltage.
