SK8V Question on fsb. (7000mb per/sec)

[yuri]

I currently have my SK8V running on bios voltage only, and was wonder what the normal max fsb is with 2.8vdimm / 1.75vcore. I have been on this board for sometime but recently it seems to be able to run higher fsb so i have continued to push it. So far i can run sandra @ 237 fsb with 2xraptors in raid 0, here is a screeny.

What kind of memory are you running and are you on air? If so you are looking pretty good.

ohhhh nice!

locks not working?

As I say Yuri, the reason it's so high is because you have your CPU sky high.

Increases bandwidth alot, compared to if you were at say... 236 x 10.

Im asking about fsb not bandwidth

[yuri]

Is that a guess or have you lost your OS at that fsb ?

the sk8v has no pci or agp lock's you can get about 240 to 250 before you mess up you'r OS.

it's actually pretty asy to avoid this.
see, the fancier the hard drive is, the more easy it is to screw up. using simpler hard drives, with things like 5400 RPM drives, or 2 meg caches makes things a whole lot easier.

but then again, a 66 mhz PCI Raid card for a unlocked PCI board does miracles honestly.
you can also try to use Seagate Hard drives.
my 40 gig seagate handles 50 mhz PCI speeds with ease.
I've never corrupted it ever, and at 7200 RPM's and 2 meg cache, I honestly can't tell the difference between it and other faster hard drives.

the SK8V takes alot of work to get high FSB's, but it's not that hard, and certainly better then 240-250 max, with alittle bit of the right hardware ;)

With ATI cards the limit use to be 236-240.
When supercooled, sometimes ATI goes close to 250.

On nVidia it's 260+ and then sandra is 8K

Raid/ATA on SK8V don't like high FSB. Use IDE disks


I have offen blown the OS because og high FSB on the SK8V :(
I think it's the mem, then when reboot, some files is missing and OS is broken.
