when i try to go to 202 fsb and up the board gets unstable and has agp tearing can anyone help me.
i know it is not my ram and cpu and also i have set the agp lock to 50, 66, 67, and 68 and still the same problem
right now i am runnig 11.5 x 200 stable
do you cool your northbridge active ? if not - you should do this =)
yes i have a zalman gold nb hs with a 40 mm fan on top
hmm strange... do you share your AGP slot with another card?
no, no pci cards
hmm quite same problem here... :( all over 200FSB gives me unstability
what bios are you using? im stuck at 190 FSB with a vantec iceburg on the chipset.
I really dont understand this board, mine can do 228FSB no tearing (held back momentarily by OS) and higher...With just a 90mm fan blowing across the NB. Seems like there are really good boards and some not so good ones...Mine's rev 1.0 too:confused:
I got the same problems...when going over 200FSB the screen starts to flash like when you change the refresh rate.I think its the south bridge thats keeping us back because I have a Crystal ORB on the NB.:stick:
Right now I'm running at 200x11.5 stable
hmm have the rev. 1.1 ... i almost think, its the rev... :banana::banana::banana::banana::banana:ty rev. 1.1 :(
Mine is a Rev. 1.0
hmmm then this must be just a little thing... @ bushboy.. do you changed some jumpers or something ?!
Nope no jumpers off, but I did take the TIM off and put some ASIII on, which really helped. The TIM is a POS and the actual area that the heatsink touches the NB is like 1CM squared IIRC. Active cooling like a 90mm fan or watercooling is really necessary.
I just put a TEC on it, and it's so much better. Up to 224FSB stable and climbing...Basically burning in every so often.
hmm will try tomorrow...
Can you guys with the same board give me some feedback on this? :

i have tried removing the fsb jumper but it has not helped and i am using the official c10 bios
hmm bushboy, what cpu ???
XP2400+ :) I put the stock heatsink back on (yeah that POS) to make sure it's definately the cause, and even put a 120mm delta screamers right on top, but it wouldn't do 224 stable at all. I was setting it to 224 x 10 if you want to know. The NB is definately limiting.
hmm my stock sink on the NB is pretty cool now... can't imagine, thats the the reason
also put a 30cm ventilator in front of the pc... doenst brought me a MHz :/
Yeh but the stock heatsink makes very little contact with the NB, so it doesn't get as hot as it should be. I thought mine was running cool, until I felt under the PCB!
