Guys and Gals, I am just having way too much fun with this setup!!!

I love it, like a kid in a candy store

NF7-S
Barton 2500
Corsair XMS 3200
Tachyon 9700 Pro

Been playing with the FSB tonight

went from all stock settings 14,336 3DMark 2001 SE

then went to 176 X 10.5 1848 Mhz 14,880

188 X 10 1880 Mhz 15,236

9700 Pro at stock settings

stock 1.65 volts
temp 40-41 idle 42-43 under 3DMark load
I havent even really overclocked the chip yet

Sorry, this may be no big deal to most of you, but I have never really had a system that was so flexible; I always had one part that wasnt really proper and it would hold me back from doing anything, and just really lead to frustration.

I love getting higher scores without really overclocking the chip really that much

Thanks for letting me gloat This setup seems really great!
And thanks to all of you that have helped me in the recent past!!

yeeehhaa

i know exactly where ya comen from.
thats a rather speedy setup btw.
im ordering my 9700 non pro to be flashed wendsday.

wait until you crack the fsb upto 200 and you will see the real daylight and why we all try so hard to be there.oh and btw that system long as the mobo is a rev1.2 or rev2 should do that plus more easy.

life starts at 200fsb!

Have you tried how much can you overclock the Barton?
And what cooling?

I will try soon, I just wanted to go one step at a time, and not get too greedy too fast and make sure my temps are stable, since I just put it together.

I will definately let you all know what I can reach.

temps running 39-40 idle, 42-43 load (3DMark) Vantec Aeroflow
