I don't think it will help. The cpu_fsb jumper change seems to be more for us sad people who spent $$$'s for the new 333fsb cpu's and got blown away by the older 233fsb cpu's.
all the info is here:
check out the link in the first post
hang in there sys!
Yall know when Asus and Epox and every company is saying that the 1 and 2 are the faster timings...and yall are saying 2 and 3 are...well...they are the same! We are just calling them different slots! :p But I picked this picture up off of www.8rda.com and it shows that the 2 slots we were saying were the same as what asus and every other company is saying.
OR really 1 and 3...same diff...ya get the picture! :D
I get best performance from 1 + 2
ok, back to my findings, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A POWERFULL ENOUGH PSU, I just got my self a new sparkle 400w and it was limiting my overclock, so I change to a enermax 350w and its better but I still feel it needs a true psu:toast:
Sys, you ravaged her private parts beyond all imaginable types of kinky silicon sex, and now she just has nothing left to give you. LOL....on to the next b*tchin' mother.
(note: OMG...they censor b*tch???? That was what my dog was while in heat before sprouting these cute baby barkers.)
I have a True 430w right now by Antec.
otoc: Thanks for the link. I will try this one last option solution!
Mikee: You're nuts man! hehe
Retupmoc: My best performance has come from the 1 and 2 slot ;)
NUNEZ1980: Got a 431w enermax (blue) volt modded for 5.3v and 12.7v ;)
I'm hoping it's the CPU_FSB jumper thing that's cuasing me problems. I will give it a shot but no garuntees!
why do people say to move the FSB jumper from the 333/266 default to the 200 setting? I'm confused as to what that does if you already have the ranges of 100-250MHz you can choose in the BIOS.
Because apparently you can then run higher stable fsb speeds. That seems to be my problem atm. I can get into the bios at pretty much any speed I want, but as for windows, I can't get in at any high fsb speeds.Quote:

It has nothing to do with the available fsb's in found in the bios. They remain the same. It just fools the bios into thinking the cpu is a 266 instead of a 333.Quote:

I had memory failure running memtest above 195fsb. I switched the the jumper (check the link for procedure) and I could run memtest up to 215fsb with more aggressive settings. This made me stable for a normal running setting of 12X200 5,2,2,2 with air cooling and no volt mods. Couldn't do that before for squat. Why? Who knows. But it seemed to help others who tried it too.
Somehow the 333 fsb cpu's are keying into a different memory model. This seems to be only one of a few issues in getting high running fsb's. People who tried it who couldn't get above 175-185 before didn't really see a big difference. People like me, who could run up to 195, did see the improvement.
Hey, if you have a 333cpu, try it. clear the cmos, reset defaults, and see what happens. It beats having to cut an L12. You never know. One guy posted he was running benches at 220 fsb with hoh cooling after the change.

The jumper change made a huge difference for me. I went from 194 stable to 205 stable. I can bench up to 211 but I get periodic freezes so I leave it at 205.
*gawd I'm lazy* I haven't gotten to trying this yet.... I've had a very very very lazy weekend.Quote:

Did you do a volt mod on your A7N8X? I see in your sig that you're hitting 2.5ghz at 207FSB. The highest I can go with the Bios Vcore voltage maxed is 2.41ghz or so at 1.85.
Just got a a7n8x .. and this is exactly what i have, i think it's because of the prometeia, since i've tried two different mobos, and two different cpu's.Quote:

But this is a very good board indeed .. i'm running at 12.5 x 210, 2630mhz (1.85v) a 2100+ Tbred B (yes sysfailur, i got one here in portugal :toast: ). Gona try the fsb jumper .. see if i can get a few more fsb
:banana: :banana:
don't get your hopes up on the cpu_fsb jumper. The gain is with 166fsb cpu's it seems, but don't let me stop you from trying. You never know. NB and SB cooling, that's what you want to watch. Go for 230 , if the memory will hold.
It's the bios not your mobo or CPU, hopefully they will have the cold boot problem addressed in a future bios update. I experience it to as do many others. That's one hell of an oc by the way. :toast:Quote:

Thanks!!!
I'm searching for a dual ddr modules now .. since i only have a 512 corsair xms3500.
This cold boot issue, is a pain .. but nothing we cannot live with it :)
Volt mod..... what's a volt mod?Quote:

Heh, I see someone didn't really read this thread all too well.
EDIT: I got hookt on phoenix! I can speel!
I have no idea what a "vold" mod is. Was this an attempt at humor or a failure at grammar? Yeah, after going back to the first page and reading it I answered my own question, thanx for clearing it up for me. :rolleyes:Quote:

It was both actually! God knows where that "d" came from in "vold" heh. There's 2 keys seperating it even heh.Quote:

It was an attempt @ sarcasm actually ;)
Sorry, I just found it funny that someone was asking me, the starter of this rather long thread, about the subject of the thread so I decided to poke some fun ;) Just messin with ya :P
I tried moving that CPU_FSB jumper, and all it did was give me some practice at clearing the CMOS. I guess cause I already cut the L12 3rd bridge on my XP 2700+
So Sys, did you get the §§§§§ to submit to your iron will, or have to buy a new one?
Moving the jumper gave no increase in headroom or stability for me with a XP2800. I can do 216 so far.
gandalf027::www.googlegear.com is selling the matched pair of memory modules.
Last time I looked they had several types of matched pair modules.
Thanks BobyJo .. i've managed to get my grasp at a dual OCZ 3500 setup .. these ones need more voltage. they are currently at 202 max settings .. at 210 no go .. so need to do the vmem mod.
K guys, need ur help...just got a prommie so i decided to finally put together my comp. Problem is..when i hit the power button prommie goes down to -33 and then the system starts up...u hear it power up the light goes green on the mobo for the power. Now With/or Without a AGP card the red light for AGP doesnt shine.....and no display on the monitor.....blank screen..also nothing boots ......it turns on and thats it....the cdrom spins and the harddrive spins and thats it........no floppy boot no nothing.....please help me out....ive spent the hours i shoulda been sleeping cutting my case and putting it together......if i need a new motherboard i think im gonna snap. IVE WAITED 3 WEEKS FOR MY PROMMIE and now i cant use it! HELLLLLPPPPPP.....please
