strwrsxprt Posted October 7, 2004 Posted October 7, 2004 Here's my results so far, I'm hoping maybe you guys can help me out. I won't discuss overclocking my video card right now, though its something I've been messing around with. I've been using the Half-Life 2 stress test to simulate load. STOCK SETTINGS: Asus A7N8X Deluxe Rev. 2.0 BIOS 1007 Athlon XP 2500+ (166x11.0=1826Mhz, 1.65V) w/ Cooler Master Aero 7+ 1Gb (2x512Mb) Corsair XMS PC3200LL (5-2-2-2, 2.6V) GeForce FX 5950 Ultra 256Mb (475-950) Windows XP Home SP2 OVERCLOCKS: Proc: (200x11.0=2200Mhz, 1.725V) Ram: (6-3-2-2, 2.6V) Results: Totally stable, used this config for months now Proc: (200x11.5=2300Mhz, 1.80V) Ram: (6-3-2-2, 2.6V) Results: Boots to Windows, seems stable Proc: (210x11=2310Mhz, 1.80V) Ram: (6-3-2-3, 2.6V) Results: Boots to Windows, crashes under load Proc: (220x10.5=2310Mhz, 1.80V) Ram: (7-3-2-3, 2.6V) Results: Boots to Windows, crashes under load I have a feeling its my RAM thats holding me back from going with a FSB above 200. Any tips would be appreciated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coolzero101 Posted October 7, 2004 Posted October 7, 2004 You have a divider set right? Go with some PC4000 otherwise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
strwrsxprt Posted October 7, 2004 Posted October 7, 2004 I'm fairly new to the terminology, but if by divider you mean is my ram at the same speed as my FSB? Its running at 1:1 ratio. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siebenburgen Posted October 7, 2004 Posted October 7, 2004 im running my 2500+ athlon 2500+ @ 2.4ghz 200x12 @ 1.65 volts memory timings 2 3 2 11 @ 2.8 volts its perfectly stable.. i've seen lots of people with really high core voltage. i was running mine @ 2.2 Ghz with 1.5 volts until i OC'd it more. but anways, cant you just up the clock to 12? or set the ram divider lower..

Fueler Posted October 7, 2004 Posted October 7, 2004 The best stable FSB I could get with an a7n8x deluxe was 211 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest FxXP Posted October 9, 2004 Posted October 9, 2004 (edited) Thats always the killer about the A7N8X-DX.. it just won't go over 210 FSB no matter what hardware you through at it. Would have to consider a Volt Mod before getting it any higher. Edited October 9, 2004 by FxXP Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
strwrsxprt Posted October 10, 2004 Posted October 10, 2004 this seems to be the best i could get it to do: Proc: (205.5x11.5=2362.9Mhz, 1.80V) Ram: (3-3-2-6, 2.6V) Results: Boots to Windows, seems stable not too terrible for air cooling starting at 1837.5Mhz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
