Which boards will run 200+ FSB no problem?

kiljaden5 · Aug 1, 2003

my 8RDA+ doesn't... it will for about an hour, then I can forget about it... it won't even stay stable in 175...

I just got 2 sticks of twinmos with CH-5 chips thinking my old samsung was my limiting factor.. but noooo, the damn board won't go

funny how this little thing makes me not like epox anymore, i feel like i thew money out the window

Pretty much any Nforce2 Ultra will run over 200. Most regular Nforce2 can hit 200 and sometimes alittle over.

I would say go for the nf7-s v2..I mean it is awsome......there are some sites that have tons of tweaks to help you attain a better oc with your mobo

thanks

anyone have a clue why my 8rda+ is so crappy?

Take a look at Soltek sl-75FRN-L and RL from newegg. Priced pretty good and know to do well over 200fsb.

What revision is it?...if it is the 1.0 or 1.1 and non ultra chip...then it will need a VDD mod since it doesn't have enough voltage to achieve over 200FSB stable...to achieve 200FSB+ the NB (VDD) voltage will need to be between 1.6 - 1.7v's...and the earlier versions of the NF2 usally only had around 1.55 to around 1.58v's when running at 200FSB+...this is probably why you can only run at 200+ for a short period of time...

This is just not a Epox issue...but 90% of all earlier NF2 versions had this problem...

I'm pretty sure mine is a 1.1, definately a non ultra chip

i decided i'm just gonna keep my crappy mobo and crappy overclock and my old samsung ram for a while, until its time to upgrade everything again

hehe sold the twinmos ram to my brother for exactly what i paid for it and he'll have an abit nf7-s v2 mobo so he'll be able to use it fine

My NF7-S did 229mhz out of the box. Although I didn't fully test it for stability (cause my memory sux!). I BELIEVE the revision 2.0 boards are guaranteed to run at least 200mhz, because they claim they will work w/ the 400mhz bartons.

Yeh I like NF7-S. I just don't like Asus A7N8X-D. I know that no one ever uses their pci slots but I just hate that you have to just about take them all up..They are weird I dunno though..
