Lol... same here. Although Sandra shows 229 FSB. :rolleyes:
Barton powered though... and I'm sure its not the chip. This Barton runs cooler than my old Tbred B, and significantly faster.
Probably a BIOS hangup. Malecky, look for a thread at the AMD section for NF7-S 2.0 BIOS 11. Didn't help me one bit but with 3550 MB/s, I really have no pressing need for more bandwidth. ;)
RAndy ,
I get a strange multi sometimes over 200 FSB on my Tbred. If I set 11.5 sometimes I get 10.5
hallowed what timings and slots you using for that?
got 225fsb at 7/2/2/2 with 2x256mb corsair 3500 on my nf7 2.0, in slots 1 and 3 which i think is dual the same as 2 and 3. only getting 3450 bandwidth though.
well with my testing, 220fsb single channel is as far up as i have gotten. 225 locks in memtest.
So im almost sure you reached a max of some sort of your mem,cpu, or board.
Other then that it seems to get anything stable over 225 is pure luck.
Thats on 2k, 4-2-2-2.0. WinXP drops it to 3500 flat.Quote:

Say [ ] is an empty dimm, [|] is an occupied dimm. My board would be configured as [ ] [|] [|]. aka 2 & 3. This config is faster on NF7's, or at least Sandra says so. :)
well on my kd7 i could do 199*11.5 (1700+)Quote:

My Rev 1.0 volt modded right now tops at benching 3DMark at 222Mhz FSB.
BUT....it will run that at 5x to 7x multipliers. 8x thru 10.5X at any FSB from 193Mhz and up and it will freeze at the "loading Win2000 bar" no matter what. My XP2700 with cut bridge ran 200Mhz+ at any multiplier. I thought I was stuck at 1559Mhz until last night..when I increased the multiplier and reduced the FSB to find it will run at 2100Mhz(not great on air...but better than nothing:)) There is definitely some correlation between some T-breds and the ability to run high FSB at certain multipliers.
Anyone else experienced the anomalie I'm going thru??
Randi:D
EDIT Forgot to mention the problems with FSB and multi's I'm having are with a 1700+...the 2700+ worked fine
rock stable !
on the nf7 i did 200*11.5 'no brob ,but !
i cant do 220*10 or 220*105.5 on any voltage
and i know the cpu can ran at 2300MHZ on 1.95 V
but now on 220*9.5 (2100 MHZ) i have to give it 2V.
so it seems that the T-B do have a broblem at high FSB and some multi's .
Pardon my ignorance but what are the problems with FSB and mults with the 1700+ ? :)Quote:

I'm getting some Kingston PC3000 to try out sometime this week. Wil find out if this is my problem which i doubt it will help.
What about the 3.3V line?

Here they say 3.30V on my 3.3 enough...what do you guys think? I dont have a adjustable PSU and cannot try this...and the Vmod rmains unknown...
This is killing me..I want atleast 3700mb :rolleyes:

I tried jacking up my 3.3V line to 3.56V and there was no difference in FSB overclockability. But that was before my vdimm mod so I should try it agianQuote:
