David- I think you might have nailed it!
I swapped out Power Supplies yesterday, on a whim (the HD wouldn't spin). I had a 230, and tried once before with a 250, which must be why it crapped out. I got a 330 Antec from CompUSA and all seems to be running solid...(I also found one a 380 RaidMax at NewEgg which will come down to $8.00 after rebate). That might be the issue all along... If it continues to run solidl, I will attempt the Upgradware again, but for now, all is fine. Jumper setting at 1.55, Vcore at about 1.527. And yes, temp is in F! Odd, my Compaq has a similar PS and it runs all the same stuff... "David Maynard" wrote in message ...

Might as well try the stock voltage again too. And yes, temp is in F! Odd, my Compaq has a similar PS and it runs all the same stuff... Well, not all power supplies of the same rating are the same, especially if all your looking at is total watts, and neither are motherboards, power wise I mean. Just as a side note, one of my BH6s is on a 250 watt supply as well. |

Yes, and yes!
I am running it over the next few days set at 1.55 (vcore at 1.527). If it was the PS all along (which it might be, and since my first attempt was to replace a 230 with 250- which probably meant my PS wasn't bad but that 230 or even 250 just wasn't enough), I will then crank it up a little and see what happens! However, if anyone needs a cranked up PC, that would be me.... That will wait a week... (I have a Compaq 5000T/ 5BW. Motherboard believed to be actually Mitac 6513WU. Here, I might lead into the same problem... The stock PS is well 300... could be around 230... I need to check, and feeding more voltage might put more of a drain wouldn't it??

My Abit BF6 is currently running a Tualatin Celeron 1.1A at 139 x 11 (which is all my memory will do 2-2-2 with the three slots filled) at 1.65v. It ran 143 x 11 with just two sticks of memory, though. It's nice to be able to make the small adjustments. It is powered by a 230 watt Powman that came with the Inwin case. It is cooled by a physically cut-down and slowed-down Cu-Al HSF that came stock on my Athlon XP 2500+. I bought a 1.2 Celeron (also 12x multiplier) on eBay for my mom's computer, and quickly checked to see if it would run at 133 Mhz on my board. No luck! |

Amazing...
BTW, that is the PS I am replacing, 230 Powerman.... to a 380 raidmax I got at New Egg for $8 after shipping and rebate. I was going to put it into my Compaq, but am checking to see first, how my Compaq can only be running on 145W (per the part), with a 1.2 Tualatin, adapter, 512meg, DVD, CDRW, 40G HD, floppy, firewire, modem, NIC, and 4 usb's all used... The idea would be, if all does run fine on my daughter's pc, she gets the upgradware adapter back, I get the LinLin. I then move the voltage up a tad. If I do get it to 1.65 or 1.7 as you mention, what would the 1.2 actually be running at?? AND, remember, this board runs 133 FSB, but 100 speed mem.. (verified by Mitac- odd isn't it?) Thanks!

Thanks David..
Actually, this PC is a Compaq- it's coming up on 5 years old. I've taken it about as far as it can go... I was thinking of boosting speed a little by upping the voltage (per Fishface) but as it is, it is very stable, unless I keep it running without AC! (It's in my office, a converted attic- Without the AC on, the attic probably hits 110/120F! PLUS if I forget to keep the desk cabinet open that it's in!) My first idea was to replace the power supply since, per the part number, it's only 145 watts (how can that be?). I was going to take the 230w Powerman from my daughter's Intel (being replaced with a 380), and use it. BUT, I am not sure of 2 things- first, how can the Compaq p/s be only 145w? Second, is it a standard ATX p/s? The board, btw, is a Mitac 6513wu, with Compaq's part number 191767. The p/s is Compaq p/n 124848. "David Maynard" wrote in message ...
