WOW! After a few hours of cursing, I realized that my A7V wouldn't let me change the multiplyer through the BIOS....So I dove for the Dipswitches and changed my 9x multiplyer to 9.5.

So at 100x9.5 I got 953! Yes!

But that wasn't enough... I bumped the FSB up to 102....got 969!

Then I decided to go all gung-ho and put the fsb at 111....I'm now running stable at 1054.7MHz!!! Keep in mind I have only had enough time to do this in about 45 minutes....so Tomorrow is a whole other story!!

I'll post a pic in the morning!

My old 3dMark2k1 Score was around 2800, now is at over 3k @ 969....so I need to do it at 1.05 tomorrow!

Well, I take it back, 1.05 was NOT stable really. Should I increase my Vcore? Every time I have done this it wouldn't post.

My newest 3dMark2k1 score is 3153 running@1007.

Back down to 106x9.5

Well it's just about the best SDRAM I can get....Unless I got a DDR Mobo, I'm stuck with this.

That is great ram for oc'ing I've run mine upto 155 fsb at all the fastest settings. the kt133 mobos are known to not be able to take a very high fsb overclock I would try ten by 100 then oc the fsb in one mhz increaments till it be comes unstable then take it down a notch up the voltage and keep going till you cant go no more. Just make sure you keep and eye on those temps

My voltage is at stock 1.5 right now. I'll try putting it at 10*100 and upping from there.
