I have been extremely happy with my MB and CPU, especially with the games I play. I had been running my system with the following settings rock solid stable:
220 X 10
1.7V CPU
1.6V chipset
1.6V on AGP
2.7V on memory
Stock D27 BIOS
It would not let me go a hair over 220 mhz without a good bump in the core voltage, which would mean a bump in temp.
I had been doing some research in the forums on a different BIOS I could use (thank god for the forums) and choose three different ones to try.
I installed Trats D27 and was amazed when I had my FSB up to 245 and was still stable without adjusting any voltages. I have noticed my temperatures have gone up a bit but for the most part stay just under 50c. I am assuming that the case temp reading is actually the northbridge as it normally ran in the low 20's, but is now up around 26-27c.
I am just kinda freaked out I guess because of the massive jump in FSB, no adjustment in voltage and I am still stable. I have had thoughts that my computer was going to blow up due to misreadings in speedfan. It also does not help that my cpu is not the best overclocker due to the stepping.
Anyone else have this experience?
