coolahaNx Posted October 24, 2005 Posted October 24, 2005 I know that it is really bad to alter the agp/pci speed.... I've heard on several tutorials that if you set your AGP speed on 67 it locks.... is this tru.. or only on a few boards? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilkev715 Posted October 25, 2005 Posted October 25, 2005 It depends on the chipset.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolahaNx Posted October 25, 2005 Posted October 25, 2005 well nForce3 250.. is the one im asking about.. and yeah this is for me because i dont have a lock on my AGP or PCI.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IUMaestro Posted October 25, 2005 Posted October 25, 2005 i've gotten 68 on nForce2.. but then sometimes my games would crash.. there's no point in trying to overclock bus speed.. nothing significant can be done. i wish though.

ir_cow Posted October 25, 2005 Posted October 25, 2005 67 is always safe i say, but i know my board locks at 66 b/c if not than at 240fbs this computer would be rocking and smoking. you cant get above 215 without HDD corupbtion, so if you dont know set it to 215 and see if your HDD gets data errors.

coolahaNx Posted October 25, 2005 Posted October 25, 2005 u guys arent understanding me i guess.... on my board there is no AGP lock... and i've now read that on the nf3 250 boards.. like mine.. if u set it to 67 then that locks the AGP/PCI, which is correct because they tested it on the site i went to..

Set your AGP to 67 it will lock your AGP and PCI. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ir_cow Posted October 26, 2005 Posted October 26, 2005 Nforce 3 boards always lock at 66/67 thats the lock, there is nothing that will say "Lock" its gonna say 33/66 or 67 as the lowest which is what locks it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IUMaestro Posted October 26, 2005 Posted October 26, 2005 The issue here is, does it lock up your system.. as in cause locking. or is the AGP locked so that it can't be overclocked. the point is, keep your AGP rate at 66 whatever you do, it will be stable, and you can hopefully overclock the front side bus without the video bus going up with it.

lilkev715 Posted October 26, 2005 Posted October 26, 2005 (edited) You can use clockgen to verify AGP/PCI speeds. http://www.cpuid.com Edited October 26, 2005 by lilkev715 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waco Posted October 26, 2005 Posted October 26, 2005 I used to run my agp bus at 83 mhz with my old ti4200 and KT333 board, gave me about 800 extra 3dmarks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
