I've hit the wall with my A7N8X I think

Here's my rig:

Asus A7N8X non-deluxe
T-Bred "B" 1700+ JIUHB 0251
Albatron GeForce4 4200ti
256MB Corsair PC3200C2
Enermax 365VE Power Supply

Right now I'm running at 12.5x192=2400mHz

MBM5 indicates that I have 1.86 Vcore steady, and that's about all I'm comfortable with.

I've done both the 5V mod and the VDD mod. Both of them in concert (I didn't test seperately) led to the following results:

Before:

Maximum Stable = 2350mHz

Maximum Get into Windows and use basic apps = 2400mHz

After:

Maximum Stable = 2400mHz

Maximum Get into Windows and use basic apps = 2500mHz+ (Didn't push past there as was extremely unstable)

CPU temps under load are around 50 C +/- 2 C

Northbridge has been lapped and remounted.

Ram timings have absolutely no effect on stability, so I don't think the Corsair is the problem...

Basically, what else can I do?

im maxing out at 194@1.85v on the same board. she get real flaky over that. can run windows at 2400- 12x200 but no stressing. for mine 194 seems to be IT

Do you have any of the voltage mods done?
