FSB above 200 won't post with a multi below 11! (DLT3C 1700+, A7N8X DLX 2.0)

The title says it all - My board won't post when the FSB is set above 200 and the multi is *below* 11.

It works fine with multipliers 11+, but nothing below. My board (isn't chipset volt modded yet) can only run the FSB up to 215 - but with the higher multipliers there are no problems at all.

Is there any way I can get the lower multipliers to work with the higher FSB? I am currently running at 200 x 12 - if that matters.

It may matter that my chip is socket wire-volt modded to allow the higher range of Vcores (again - my motherboard has a crappy Vcore selection that caps at 1.75 without such a mod... modded brings the cap up to 1.85)

Specs: DLT3C JIUHB 0319 1700+, ASUS A7N8X-DLX 2.0, crappy DDR 333 RAM, BIOS rev. 1006

Thanks in advance!

need better ram, ddr400 or ddr433 to go above 200, plus, get the 1005uber bios, so u can up the chipset voltage

You say you have a crappy PC2700 and the problem is it won't go over 200 FSB? They usually crap out 180ish FSB.

Yeah I must agree.....I begin to get tons of stability problems at 200+ no matter what timings.....so if you would like more then that I would suggest getting better ram......altough I would probably stick with that ram....since 200fsbx12 is very awsome indeed .....I wouldn't upgrade that ram for a very long while.....just MHO

Well - right now I am running the RAM @ 66% sync (133 to the 200 FSB), and raising the FSB up to 215 only raises the RAM frequency to around 140 - more than low enough for this DDR 333 RAM...

The 10X Multiplier works fine with all FSB frequencies below 200 - when I hit 200 the lower (below 11) multipliers stop working. I am sure that better RAM would help me a lot (I am looking at buying a 512 kit of OCZ DDR 450), but I think the problem lies with the processor.

And I have heard that the 1005 UBER BIOS Chipset Voltage Caps does absolutely nothing at all - I.E. it doesn't actually change the chipset voltage... I may be wrong though.

chipset voltage helped me get to 225(450fsb)

Correct. Several people over at www.nforcershq.com measured the chipset voltage w/ a multimeter using the uber bios and found that it indeed did not change at all. One person claimed it helped them to get higher FSB, but I doubt it had anything to do with the chipset voltage entry in the uber bios. Most agree that it is of no benefit.

why not get some cheap buffolo with winbond

*heh* Where can I get said cheap RAM in Canada for a reasonable price (seriously)?

But I still don't think it is the RAM - things work great with any multiplier above 10.5 - I have no idea what is preventing me from using the lower multis with FSB values equal to or above 200.
