My system...
8rda
2400+
slk-900U heatsink/w vantec stealth 92mm
512mb HyperX pc3500
Radeon 9700PRO/w Zalman heatpipe cooler.
Antec truepower 300W
Passive NB cooling
Used AS3 on everything
at 178x14
1.825v
idle temp = 36C
Load temp = 41C
Depending on ambient temp the idle will drop as low as 32C. Load temp will drop as well.
My problem...
I can't go higher than 178fsb, no matter how low I drop the multiplier, how high I raise Vcore, or how low the temps are. It is completly stable at this speed, but won't even post above 180. It has booted up fine a couple times at 180, but won't run prime95 or 3dmark. Has anyone experienced such a low fsb max on an 8rda? I'm at a loss. I was contemplating going water or peltier cooled, but I'm not going to bother if there's something wrong with my board. Any suggestions?
