Cheap solution to the i915p Pcie lock problems

[darufe]

The solution is to get a pci sata raid controller! muaha
Just lock your pci bus to 33.33mhz and you're set to break 270-280fsb with sata drives!
im up to 274 stable atm

*crosses fingers and hopes for more*

Yep, where were you breaking up with sata at, 240ish?

Mine was like 250FSB max and that was with an IDE HDD :rolleyes: I had that mobo for like 3 days before I got rid of it, LOL.

The PCI card is a good way around it, but you'll be limiting the bandwidth of SATA, which kinda defeats the purpose :)

Yeah, I tried a ide and got 253 on that chipset before :rolleyes:

Yeah I have the same problem but I have found another way around it. After 240fsb it wouldn't detect the drive, but after installing the Albatron Dr. Speed OC utility I can reach 260. I do think it will go higher but my system is not stable at a higher fsb. Also one thing I don't know is what is a safe voltage for a P4 630. That might be what's holding me back? Right now I run it at 1.4125V.
