....wow! i just bought an Epox 8rda+ and boy has it opened a new world. i have not yet updated my sig cause i dont have a stable final overclock.... ( need to do VDD mod i think) so you can see my old board was a Soltek SL75DRV2... POS. Thank you toms hardware for tricking me into buying the "Overclocking King" of kt266a boards.... yep.... this godly crucial ram that i have had for a year has been wasting away in a ****ty (well to be fair it was good except for the overclocking) board at stock speed for about a year now... and i didnt even know how good it was! soltek board never let me take it over 142! (and it crashed right away at that speed!)
but i put in the new motherboard last night and omg.... i just kept adding 5 fsb and the fun never ended... it let me hang around in windows for a few minutes at 196!!!! i got it to run prime95 for 45 minutes w/out errors at 194 too. then i got bored of watching prime so i stopped.... it was unstable anyway, programs crashing and such. 190 seemed alright though i had it running seti all night at that. this is all with 6-3-3-2.5 timings too btw. (and ram & fsb are sync'ed)
right now im testing at 9.5x185 ( my AROIA-Y can't quite make 1.8 gigs and im getting some flickering screen problems if i go any higher on the FSB, if i understand correctly i need to do the VDD mod to fix that?)
oh yeah 2.77 volts on the ram. and like 28xx/27xx mem bandwidth in sandra @ 194
i will get some screenshots together once i get this thing stable.... time to play the overclocking game a bit more...
