2100+ cant break 185fsb

Help!!! 2100+ cant break 185fsb

Help me out here guys for some reason I cant break the 180fsb barrier no matter what multiplier or voltage I use. Please give me some ideas! I know I have the equipment to do it. Is it possible for a chip not to be able to do 200 fsb even on a 9x multiplier??See Sig for system.

Excellent Power supply, best mobo, best cooling.

It has to be the RAM. Increase Vdimm.

If you had an Epox board, I'd say this was the cause:

(It still might be)

If you're in the US, this thing consistantly breaks the 220 FSB barrier:

2520 MHz? Your setup is the ultimate proof that it's not the chip as much as it is the cooling and the power supply that gets you there.

Congratulations.

Its the ram buddy. I had an 8dra+ and could get over 185 with my hyperx pc3000 no matter what. I upgraded to Twinmos pc3200 ch-5 chips and now im running 11.5x200 on air

First thing is just to verify that you are running your memory sync (6:6). Assuming you already have done that and have tried increasing your vmem voltage then I would suggest the L12 mod. On an NF7 thats the single biggest thing that can bring you more fsb with a 133 fsb chip.

Reason im saying its the ram is that even Kingston confirmed problems with there HyperX series and the 8rda+ and Abit board

I agree with Deathknight. There's an issue with the NF7-S's bios, which creates problems with 166fsb processors, not letting them overclock fsb wise. The L12 mod to set your default fsb to 133 will solve the problem.

Thanks guys I did the L12 mod (I think). I used 2 pieces of wire to bridge the pinholes like in this thread

Now I boot default as a barton 2700. However I am still unable to break 190 and get into windows. Whats strange is that I cant even boot at 190 unless I am at a 13x multiplier or greater. Does anybody have any idea would the problem could be?

Hrm there are some multipliers that don't work at higher fsb speeds I believe. I can't recall what they are off hand because I have not encountered this issue, I just know they are mults lower than what I am using. I will see if I can find the threads I read about this issue in.

I have a wcpuid screen shot I can post if someone can host the picture for me
