Hi everyone!
Great forum and great guys and gals offering help and advice. Which is just what I need.
HW is as follows:
Chieftec cab with 340W PSU
ASUS A7N8X DLX/GD
XP2400@13x175 Glacialtech IGLOO2500@2200 rpm
TwinMos PC3200 2x256
Geforce2GTS
I guess you all are sick and tired of all those people posting that they are having problems reaching high FSB's with this setup. This can of course relate to a number of different causes, but I however have skimmed through this forum + a unknown number of others trying to find someone with my config and type of problems. As you can guess by now I have not found anyone yet which fully gives me a conclusion to what i have to do to reach a conclusion to my problem. Is the CPU unable to reach 200+, is it the MB, anything else?
Problem:
I can not seem to reach higher FSB's with this setup, any higher and it will drop out of Unreal2 after about 15-20 min. CPU temp at that point is in the area of 47-49C. This is the only application i have this problem with, everything else seems to run smoothly.
So I browsed forums and found several solutions VCore, VDIMM, VDD mod; 5V mod by HOOT. Ok, so i tried the following, drove to the nearest electronics shop and bought myself a multimeter, Glue gun and a soldering iron, went home and sat myself down for a number of hours trying to do the 5v mod by HOOT.
At 01:10AM I finally got the mod done ( I hate using a soldering iron so close to the MB, and had to try several times ). Result: Before the mod 5v+ would dip down to 4.5-4.6 in 3DMark01, now it never goes below 4.9
However, this did not aid me in reaching higher FSB's at all. So my final question is: Has anyone, with this kind or similar HW done the same thing, and what are your results/conclusions?
PS: I forgot to say, I am using Demolous's Über-BIOS 1002A
