AZN thats an amazing mem score. Is your samsung pc3200 the cas 2.5 version? and in the bench it was running at 195 mhz? What timings and voltage do you use?

Thanks
 
195fsb 3.51ghz 2.7v mem in the bios samsung pc3200 cas3 but i had it running cas2.5 3-3-7

Sweet, im thinking about switching out my IT7 MAX 2 V2 for a P48GX - it would cost me about $40 difference to do it...

How is the overclocking ability, including voltages (vcore and mem), and accuracy on temperature readings?
 
asus boards seem to overvolt by about .05v so if the bios reads 1.525v u will see 1.575v in the hardware monitor and same for the temps, its about 3c higher then bios.
OC features are great mem goes up to 2.7v and agp 1.7v the board is modable to get high mem voltage but i have not done it. u can pick up the board at extreme gear for $204 shipped.
 
Seems good.. just curious, what temps do you get with your 3.5 ghz P4?

If I do get GB, do you think I should buy two sticks of the samsung pc3200 cas 3 ($90) and hope for DDR400, or get two sticks of pc2700 ($70), save 20 bucks, and aim for DDR400? I currently have a stick of the 2700 but its the good CTL kind that is oc'able. Most people buying from newegg get the DTM right now, but they are still hitting DDR400 at Cas 2.5 3-3-7
 
the pc2700 doesnt have a chance at 400mhz cas 2.5 so dont get that. the pc3200 is only $70 for 512mb sticks so i dont know who is raping u. I would get the pc3500 samsung for $80 a stick that will get 400mhz cas 2.5 for sure. maybe even cas2 well big maybe with 2.9v maybe.
u must get 2 sticks or the board is just like any other board.

I was getting 29c case, 39c idle and 55c load at 195fsb. those were reading from asus probe
