I'm trying to find out what this boards FSB starts to max out at.
If I am looking to go to 160FSB, is that too hopeful? (assuming all my other components can handle it)

what sort of NorthBridge cooling did you use when achieving your max FSB?

I got 155fsb off of mine when I had it - a 1.8a@2880. I just used stock hs and put on a little socket 7 fan - kept it cool to the touch.

158 fsb with bios settings, because the bios fix option doesnt work anymore after that on mine and there isnt a good divider in the bios. I use a TH7II fsb modifier to raise it to 165 fsb from within windows and with that I can use a 1/5 divider for the agp/pci bus. you can download it from the extremeoverclocking froums download section if you want to try it out.

I could only get 155 FSB stable out of mine and a max of 157 FSB. I removed the northbridge sink, lapped it and reinstalled with AS3 (but it didn't really help that much). What helped the most was putting a 40mm fan onto the NB sink.

I think I'm gonna put a water block on the NB as I have one spare.

I'm also getting about 155 to 160. If somehow i could raise the chipset voltage. I think that would really help.

I'm getting 150 FSB. I tried 160, but it wouldn't even post :+

I got it to 150FSB too. I'll def. try watercooling, and maybe TEC cooling if required.

Got mine to 170 FSB with my 2,4B SL6EF but it was not really stable . I don't know if it's the board (most probable) or cpu limit or RDRAM (2x256 Samsung PC800 40ns @ 1020 but they reached
140x4x2=1120 with TH7 II soft FSB within XP not from BIOS so ? )
It was maxed @162 FSB with my faithfull 1,6 a (that i should have kept ).Running actually @167 FSB that give me the 3Ghz I wanted
but i had to raise voltage to 1,85v in BIOS (getting 1,72 v real) but I have more and more problem at start even with 2/5 divider (not fix) i have to reset 1 time out of 2 because even if bios load correctly ,when i chose XP (i have the 3 win installed 98 and 2000 ) it simply dont load or says a file is corrupt .
Was thinking to get IC7 in september(I dont use my PC in vacations!) but reading Intel road map made me hesitate as socket for prescott will change in second Q 2004 and I dont want to change mobo every year .
The first 2 Prescott will fit the IC7 though , but they will be obsolete in just 6 months .
So I might keep my TH7 II for 6-8 months more !
Cordially .

195fsb, with a vapo PE and a wonder 1.6a Staying around 172 now for the 2.8, board is all stock and one of the first made, I've had 2 others and all do the same, You gotta have good memory.

The TH7II will do as high as the P4T533: 170-180+ on air, depends on the CPU. Heck, I have one board with good ICS-09s, and it can do 150/4x and I've had it to 177/3x on air. And that was with an SL6EF that needed 1.75 volts. I will be testing an SL6RZ that does 185 fsb at 1.55-1.60 VCORE next. A friend of mine who does microsoldering just put in some ICS-13s on another TH7II-RAID I got but I haven't picked it up yet. I'm hoping for 160/4x with Kingston PC1066s.
