Well, you got a good board. My A7N8X Deluxe rev. 1.04 (A3-revision) can barely push 180Mhz FSB, and that's WITH extra heatsinks, casecooling, HighQ RAM etc.

Yeah... bragging can also be buying advice... so I too reiterate though.... why is it sweet? FSB 255?:slobber:

I just got Ver 2.0 and had it OC to 225@12.5. Working great Whent to up the fsb more and it just took a crap!!! Had to sent in for RMA just got it BacK. Waiting for new AMD 3200 and Ozc Mem. Let use see what it will do???? Will this one LIVE or Will it DIE!
So do the Rev2.0s like high FSBs? The originals didnt....

yes the rev2.0 take 200 FSB easy, but as of now I have crap 2 x 256 PC3200 ram so Im saving up for the kingston hyperX and we'll see if I can raise up the fsb over 200, as of now im running @ 12.5 x 180, im playing on the safe side until I get good ram.
You not going to see if your RAM will go a bit further than 200FSB?

I did take it up to 200 FSB but then after awhile I get the ram fault error which means I have crap ram that cant keep up. So yes I can take it 200 and higher but I really need top quality Kingston HyperX ram modules to keep up decently with the ever changing FSB. Question - On my post screen its says A7N8X2.0 1005 is that the new revision?, just want to make sure. Thnx
1005 will be the BIOS version I preume
Rev2.0 will be new version

Nice mobo!!!:)
Its not bad, unfortunetly I also have crap RAM (KingMAX TinyBGa DDR400) so cannt hit 200FSB stable. I had heard all the kingmax stuff earlier stuff was good the 2700 etc so i got the 3200 and then i turned out to be crap :( was expensive stuff too

I hear ya man, even if my mobo ran more than 200 FSB Ill prolly only run at that speed, but crap ram is always the culprit that holds ya back :(
whats your proc speed?
Memory timings?
Well waiting on pum pfor water but on a generic heatsink highest I can do is 2145MHz @ 195FSB any higher and crashes bloody RAM, timings are really relaxed to get there, cant remember wha tthey are exaclty.

nice 195 FSB!!! why dont ya try a higher multiplier do get a higher proc speed for the time being at least a clean 2.2ghz. BTW, what proc are you using?:toast:
need more votage to go higher and i dont like putting extar volts from on generic coolers, its a 1700+ DUT3C 0203 MPM

I see, try an SLK-800A. I have the same proc as you and I run it 1.85vcore for stable purposes, I can run it lower but my temps on a SLK-800a w/ a 80mm TT smarfan2 is only 35 degrees on idle. :D
I dont need a SLK800, got a waterblock, just waiting on a pump which I will order once I get back from my holiday in two weeks time.
