Hi, I have a few questions.
I was wondering if anyone knows of a good way for me to get more than 150mhz FSB out of my RDRAM. What have others done to get a better RDRAM overclock?
It seems to run fine at 150mhz for most apps/games - but it wont even boot for 152+.
I assume it's the RAM which won't go further??
Will adding a 120mm fan (108cfm) in the side of my case blowing directly on to the RAM help at all?
I also get 3826/3815 MB/sec in sandra - is this alright for 150mhz FSB?

Also Off topic - my case temp reads around 36-40 degrees and my CPU temp is usually around 48-56 degrees - is this too hot or are these sensors off or what? (it is summer here in Australia)

Any help much appreciated. Thanks...
 
3800 aint bad ,but try this.it takes a good cpu, but try cranking up the fsb and change the rdram to 3x it puts a lot less stress on the rdram and makes for a more efficient thruput. ie the guys at extreme sytems are cranking their asus boards to 193 fsb then running the rdram @ 3x. and getting 4500-4600 sandra benchmarks. also check my post on interesting rdram bandwith discovery
 
Right..AS flapperhead said, change CAS from 2/2.5 - 3...ADDing a fan onto ur comp wont allow u to increase the mhz any higher. Overheating would only be a problem if the ram booted and was stable from a cold boot
