Max aprox FSB for a KG7 and Samsung PC2700?

[sforza]

Hello, i'm new here at the Xtreme forums, hello everybody :)

And now my question: I've just got a stick of Samsung memory, the good one (Samsung PCB, single sided, CB3, etc etc). I have have a KG7 board, as my sig says.

How high do you think I could go?

I can't do any tests till wednesday, so at the moment i have it on my mobo, but toghether with my "old" mushkin.

I readed at MrIcee's guide of recomended settings that he got aprox 171FSB with this board, but of course, at that moment there was no Samung memory availiable.

Has anyone tested this memory on a KG7? any idea how high i could go?

thanks in advance.:)

Using MrIcee's guide I get 169fsb using samsung ram and corsair ram.

well, i couldn't resist and finally got this stick of samsung ram :D

It works perfectly, i only have reached 160Mhz FSB with my other stick toghether. All the pci cards were plugged, too, so i expect to get a little higher FSBs with them unplugged.

If anyone is thinking on getting a samsung ram stick, don't worry about compatilities, it works perfectly :)

Hey guys,

I was only able to o/c my system to 145MHZ FSB. And it seems that my NIC was toasted by that! Where to get this MrIcee's guide? Also my Memory Benchmark in Sandra really sucks, got a bandwith of 1900MB/S, thats on KT266 level and that sucks :(.

My RAM settings:

Host Clock: 133MHZ
SDRAM Frequency: HCLK +33
CL: 2.5
Row Precharge Time: 3T
Ras Pulse Width: 6T
Ras to Cas Delay: 3T
Bank Interleave: 4 Way
Burst Length: 8 QW
SDRAM 1T Command: disabled
FastCommand: Ultra

I answered your other thread my friend...go check it out. My guide mentioned above is soley for the Abit KG-7 and will be totally irrelevant to your setup of the MSI board:)

max Overclocks can NOT be set in stone for every situation.

You have way too many variables like:

-Product Quality
-age of product
-climate of where you live
-overall system components and what is mixed together with what


etc etc etc

To ask what will this overclock to is a crap shoot and honestly not fair to ask.... there is only one way to really know what THAT chip will do.
