Like the topic says, it is true.
They don't like each other. They don't want to help each other out. sad sad sad.
memory used = 2x CorsairXMS3502v1.1 (which is capable of 238mhz FSB DC 4-2-2-2.5)
tbredXP 2700 chip with L12 mod(for 133mhz FSB) does exceptionally well with Abit NF7 rev2.0 boards in achieving high FSBs 128bit DC + CPU Interface@ 230mhz and higher.
I did the mod for xp1700. the bios reports i have the 3200+ speed with 200mhz FSB.
Result: tbredXP 1700 chip does poorly in high FSBs 128bit DC + CPU Interface with the L12 wire-drop-socket mod(for 200mhz FSB). 230mhz FSB DC is not stable at all, and barely loads windows. 3dmark? forget it.
my taste and expectation is to have the system CPU Interface + 128bit DC enabled for its glorious performance. The L12 mod(for 200mhz FSB) did seem to help little bit though. Before the mod, the system would not even boot at 230 FSB. After the mod, the system "boots" and loads windows, but that's it.
Based on what i've been seeing, the normally aspirated FSB monster 200mhz rated Barton chips do better in high FSBs, with all the DC and Cpu fast decode enabled. it seems that Baron chips are more FSB overclock friendly with the nforce2 rev2 boards. The tbredXP 2700 also puts up a good fight, less than what the Bartons do, but close..
The only thing I have not done yet is the L12 wire-drop-socket mod I haven't done to this xp1700 is the mod for 166mhz FSB. So, I cannot speak for all L12 mods that would/would not work. What do you think about this my friend hitechjb1?
