Max FSB on the A7N8X?

=[8c0re8]= · Oct 11, 2003

Has anyone gotten PAST 220 on the FSB with these MB?
If so how much?

well im @ 222FSBx10.5= 2.34 @ 1.80v
slowly trying to work my way up..

The abit and epox nforce2 ultras i have seen hit 250fsb but they are hard modded and the asus A7N8X dlx REV1.04 and 2.0 i can hit over that 220 but loose timing on the ram Corsiar pc3500 it depends on alot and one stick of pc3500 with 256 seems easy but more difficult in DC so it depends on other things as well....cooling and Vdd voltage.

I see that ur sig says ur timmings are 11-3-3-2.5. Wats ur DDRv @? 2.8? im @ 7-4-4-2 100% but im using PC3200@ 2.8v.

I just thought u would get tighter timmings @ a higher fsb with the 3500 then the 3200?.. but ur O/C is still KILLER

yeah, can't figure the timing thing out either, will figure out soon though, and i can pump up to 2.9v through them(1005uber bios)

and as far as the overclock, i can get it to 222x11.5=2553, but this board has a circuit that limits the vcore to 2.16v(+/- .03), which you can only attain w/ a volt mod(which i have), so i couldn't get it stable

i just got my swifttech MCX heatsinks on, and the chipset voltage mod is next(soo much easier w/ smd grabbers), and in a couple of weeks i was gonna pick up some pc4000, but gotta wait longer

my plan is to hit 230x11=2530 on this board(which i can get now, but i prefer the higher fsb)

this board is very stable, great layout, but very limiting, which is also why i plan on getting an Abit NF7-S

were can i get the 1005uber BIOS?..i have a 1005 but i dont think its the one?..how can u tell?

sweet

thanks man...ill update my BIOS an check it out...
i managed to get my fsb up to 230 but even @ its "loosest" timmings i could not get it to run heavys appz just light web stuff.
im thinking maybe a volt mod to juice my ram more or should i try
another ram?..im using the corsairs XMS pc 3200..

any input?

pc3200 corsair is good ram, but then, different ram is able to go so far, just depends i guess, kinda like oc'ing in general, lol

if you decide to go higher, just go w/ pc4000 ram, no timing adjustments needed, hehehe, unless you plan on going over 500mhz fsb, lol

=[8c0re8]= · Oct 14, 2003

ill start looking for 400mhz RAM

thanks alot molester

Molester · Oct 15, 2003

you have 400mhz ram, pc3200 is ddr400

pc4000 is ddr500
