I'm at 210Mhz currently, but want a little more speed. If i can run my chipset much higher, then i can run the memory at 83%. However, this'll only be worth it if i can still run my memory at 200Mhz or above.

So what are the highest FSB speeds people are getting with EP-8RDA+'s?

I know i shouldn't run mem and FSB async, but i want to shoot for a higher FSB. :p
 
ehhh, right on 200, tried 202 and 205 which gives reboots when i use prime95, not the cpu, not the ram, used memtest and prime95 to test for them, i guess the northbridge is heating up too much, not bad without mods tho, i would put a blue orb on the northbridge and heatsinks for the mosfets and southbridge but i don't want to ruin the warranty especially on a nforce2 board, didn't check the revision tho, bought it back in february from newegg
 
My regular 8rda gets unstable past 219 FSB, i tested and it's the board crapping out not memory or cpu.
 
The most you can realistically expect after doing a VDD mod is 22x. Some people get 230 and higher but you don't see that much. I personally am running mine at 200fsb with no VDD mod, although the board has gotten some cooling upgrades.

Iceberg on northbridge, stock heatsink to southbridge, active mosfet cooling and sinks on a few other chips.
