Opty 146 - can't get past 2.7ghz

Hi

until a few days ago I had an msi neo2 and had my opteron 146 running at a stable 3.0ghz; I have now built a new rig with an dfi ultra-d and a x1900xt (all memory etc from old setup).

My problem is that I can't get my 146 past 2.7 without crash to desktops or it wont load windows.

I'm running my cpu on same big typhoon, have tried 1.52v which was what had cpu on in msi, copied same timings as before for memory and am lost as to know what to try next.

Appreciate help, many thanks.

It's version 3/10/05 which is quite a latest official one from looking at site.

Thanks for reply - i'm having this issue that cpu-z is showing different volts for cpu etc than the BIOS so am a little hesitant about increasing the volts on memory to 2.9; OCZ usually dont need more volts - in actual fact less is usually better.

Is'nt that one just for enabling Dual Core functions?

So, your saying cpu-z is at fault and the BIOs reading is fine then?

Is there a way I can flash to the 623 in Windows as don't have a floppy drive connected - would appreciate link to a good guide if this is possible.

Thanks again for replies ppl.
