I just got my Epox 4BDA mb and P4-1.6A the other day. I put the system together using Windows XP Pro, (1) 512mb Samsung PC2700 stick, IBM 30gig hd, Visiontek Geforce 4 Ti4600. I am new to overclocking, so the chance I am fu*king something up is high.

I ran it using the stock heatsink/fan with ASII to get some baseline numbers. I can get it up to 2.08Ghz at like 1.75 volts before it bombs starting Windows. Now, my temps are only like 38-40C while loading up. This happens when I leave my memory @ SPD, set the AGP/PCI to 66/33. I am basically just bumping up the FSB, not really messing with the memory at all.

I also tried setting the memory at 2.5-5-2-2, DR266, and leaving the memory voltage at default (2.6v I believe).

I just ordered the Maze3 from DD, but it appears I have a "normal" 1.6A that "only" overclocks 400Mhz. LOL

I don't think the temps are the problems. It only hit like 38-40 max even with the voltage at +.10 in the bios. I have even set the memory voltage to 2.8 and 2.9, same thing. Maybe it is my IBM 75XP 30 gig ATA100 hd that is bombing

Any suggestions for this newb would be greatly appreciated.
