Hello
I just got this board and am still playing around with it and burning it in.

If you have a BD7II, please post your best stable overclocking results, with voltages, ratios, dividers, memory timings, etc.

I'll post some results this weekend, as I haven't had a lot of time to mess with it yet.

Cheers
 
Hi,

I had a quick play this afternoon with my 1.8A and got the following after about 30 mins of tweaking.

FSB 133MHz, CPU freq = 2.4GHz
Vcore + 10%
CPU:DRAM 3:4 = memory 354MHz
CAS 2 timing

Tried 133 FSB at spec Vcore first off but pute wouldn't boot so stepped back down to 120 and worked up from there.

Using Corsair 2700 256MB memory and Akasa 670 heatsink (a little bit better than stock heatsink, it doesn't warp the board and is easy to pop on and off).

Processor did 10 loops of sandra arithmetric/multimedia benchmark with no problems at +10% Vcore, at +5% arithmetric bombed out a few times. CPU temp was 41degC max.
With my gainward ti4400 at 300/601 I got ~11500 in 3dmarkse.

Interestingly, at stock CPU speed of 1.8A, memory 266Mhz, upping my graphics frequencies from 280/550 to 300/601 only changed 3dmarkse result from ~9200 to 9500. When I then upped CPU to 2.4GHz, memory to 354MHz, I got the big increase. Hence, I am concluding that in a "rough and ready average sense" I am CPU limited with the ti4400, which actually makes me very happy I didn't several the extra on a ti4600, spend the extra on a faster CPU in a few months.
The Gainward Ti4400 is a great card for the money, was easy to get to 300/601 seems very stable at that speed.

Stepped back down to "normal" frequencies for time being as I need to install a load of apps on this new machine.

Cheers,

WittyNewt.
 
Bd7II

Had mine for a week Love the board!
FSB=172mhz Corsair XMS3000 running at Cas 1.5/5/2/2@ 2.7V
2.26b @ 2.92ghz 15% up on Vcore (wish Vcore would go higher)

With 3:4 ratio I can run a FSB of 158mhz = 210mhz @CAS 2.5/5/2/3 but my CPU speed is clocked at 2.7ghz Really wish i had the 4:5 ratio so that I could max out my Corsair at 210mhz along with my CPU.. Ahh well wondering if someone well edit the bios and create the extra 4:5 ratio from what I understand it should be possible.
Great board and recommend it to anyone.
