JamesB Posted October 28, 2005 Posted October 28, 2005 I don't know much about oc'ing so I thought maybe you guys could give me some pointers on how to oc my system. Here are my specs: Amd Athlon XP 3200+ Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe 2x256mb OCZ PC4000 Gold in dual channel Thermaltake Volcano 11+ Cpu fan Processor temps are around 40c at idle. Currently I have the multiplier at 10 and the fsb at 215 ( 430 for dual channel ). So I actually have the processor underclocked (2.15ghz). But it seems that when I try to get the multi any higher I start to have freeze ups and blue screens. Any suggestions? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolahaNx Posted October 28, 2005 Posted October 28, 2005 (edited) increase your vcore voltage.. even tho you shouldnt run into those problems at such a low fsb change.. others can continue.

I had the the Asus A7n8x v2 and this board you have and I can tell you that you can not go any higher on that board with the fsb. :angry2: You will only get black screens and on and on...ect..! sorry! The only way to overclock that board is to grab a mobile 2500-2600+ proc and up the multi and vcore. Sorry to tell you this but I and others have tried for sometime...no go! DFI Lanparty or something else so forget the fsb on the ASUS A7N8X series! I have used the mobile 2500 from 1.8 to 2.5 but to go any higher I needed the ubber bios...? You can find it here: A7N8X Bios Releases Just make sure you get the one with the 1013 and Sata Enhanced..! Also it will not help the fsb issue. I hope this helps and you understand that the board is limited in the Northbridge voltages when it comes to fsb and even if you up the vcore it will not go any higher on the fsb. Take a look at my specs and you will see if I could it would still have the mobile in it. And i found really no dif on the 3200 and the mobile performance even when it was clocked to 2.4-2.5 without a higher fsb. But on a DFI that is another story! I sent my DFI back but my friend has his still running at 2.6 mobile and 500 fsb. Just up the multi and I wouldn't go with the fsb...! I talk alot..lol Edited October 29, 2005 by skibar350 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What version of A7N8X because I haven't seen it on the two I had. Even with a higher vcore they would show a blank screen. I know it isn't the ram on this board. I will have to try it again...!
