RDRAM overclock w/ TH7II

I have my ram bios-setting on "auto".

I oc'd to 124 mhz front side bus, and the rdram ran fine at 4x setting, giving me PC996.

When I pushed it up to 125mhz fsb, the bios automatically clocked the ram down to 3x.

My question is..... did the mobo downclock the ram because my ram can't handle the speed? or does it clock down to 3x @125fsb by default?

I am currently pushing it at PC1000 speeds. Doesn't seem to be a problem.... unless there's something i've overlooked....

Auto defaults to 300 over a certain FSB. Your ram might be OK, when I set mine to Auto at 133FSB, it defaults to 3x, when I set it to 400 it runs at 4x.

Ginfest is right: it automatically goes to 3X over a certain busspeed.

Just set the RDRAM to 4X, and see how far it'll go
