I haven't been on the comp in about a week. I just haven't felt like it. I've gotten to angry at it lately. I have other things to do in the mean time anyway in the mean time.Quote:

So Sys, did you get the §§§§§ to submit to your iron will, or have to buy a new one?
Sometimes you need that recoup time.
Well I'll be damned the CPU_FSB thing works wonders!!! hahahahah
I just ran a full 3dmark bench ( a few times ) @ 200mhz fsb....
check it: http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k1=5939878
I have it @ 210X11.5 right now idling while my friend is here, I'll give it a run @ that then, if it works 215 X 11. Heheh WEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!
Cool. It really seems to do the same as the jumper cut. Check things out with memtest86 v3.0 and you'll save yourself some drive corruption. Been finding that whatever the fsb that passes with memtest, a lower fsb will be needed to run a complete 3dMark. But then again, pmm's vdd mod will close that gap. It doesn't do a great job in memtest(just a little gain), but it brings up the workable fsb's in windows and 3d apps.
With all the xtreme mods you're doing, it'll be interesting to see where you go. While there are exceptional boards out there that do OCing with no mods, I think the average board needs tweeking.
I'm at 11/215 vcore 1.75, vmem 2.8, vdd 1.75, vagp 1.7, cpu agr, 6/3/3/2, xms3500 2&3 with my 2700+, nb active, sb active, swifty w/4000rpm so I'd expect you to blow my doors off.

anything you might add to the link would be appreciated.
See, a little time off is a good thing. And thanks to the everyone else for trying the jumper trick.
Two words.... ZOOM ZOOM! 236 was windowsable but sisoft gave out. Will try more in like 45minutes tonight. I just got back from a friends house ;)

Nevermind, no more benching. V-Day... female come first.
Real nice mem score. I need the Vmod to go any further myself.
Zack,
Does the CPU volt mod also raise the the chipset voltage? If not, have you posted a chipset voltage mod? I have a feeling that's what is keeping me back.
I'm at 202 * 13.5 = 2727 with a 2800+. Mem is 6-2-2-2T Kingston HyperX 3500.
Secondly, instead of hot glue, can I use seal-string to hold the wires while testing a volt mod? I haven't done anything yet, and want to play first.
Lastly, thanks for the system recommendations so far.

The cpu vmod doesn't raise the chipset voltage, no. The chipset voltage mod can be found.... here: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...&threadid=8274Quote:

I geuss you could use seal string, I'm not sure I haven't played with it myself, but from the looks of it I've seen in pictures I'd say yes. I'd recommend solder though :P
Only changes are 1.9v on chipset, 2.5-7-3-3 timings, 236mhz was sisoft stable @ 2-6-2-2. Chipset temps @ -5C, umm that's about it. Ish fasht!

Killer FSB Clock!
Hello I got a big problem the secondary slave drive is not working any of you got an idea what that could be?
terramir
Terramir:::Check the jumpers on the drives, make sure the one on the far end is set at master. The one connected to the middle of the cable set to slave. Be sure these are done properly, and check in the setup screen (bios) does the system recognize the master and slave? You may have a defective cable, maybe the power supply cable is not plugged into the drive properly. Other than that, you may have a defective drive. You may at last ditch effort. Change the middle device to master and move it up to the end of the cable, change the end device to slave and than move it to the middle of the cable and check again.
I received the second A7N8X/dx mobo yesterday and had it up and running within about an hour.
Flashed to the 1002 bios and the XP2400 is unlocked by bios as I wished.
The system is running great maybe even better than the first one.
We did get a bad board from NewEgg a week ago, so we were down for a week. They did refund the money for it.
Hi guys,
well this is the 2nd A7n8x/dl i'm having as i RMAed the 1st one cause i f...ed up with VDD.I took the board today and i started all over again and this time was a success!!!The problem is that with the 1st board and without the VDD mod i was 195 bus with no problems and i could boot to windows up to 211.I had measured the VDD 1.58v.
With the new board and without VDD mod i was stable at 183mhz and could boot to windows up to 188.I measured VDD 1.58v.Well i think this is very strange!!!
After doing VDD mod iam stable at 195 but at 200+ i have problems in 3dmark.VDD 1.74-1.85v.For cooling i have Titan cooper heatsink on NB and the board's heatsink on SB.
I think maybe i need to burn in the board for a few days but i would like to know if you have any suggestions for hitting200+.
THANKS.
MY SPECS:
Asus A7N8X Deluxe Rev 1.04 (Bios 1002)
Athlon 2400+
Thermalright SLK800 with Artic Silver 3
80mm Delta 68.5CFM Fan with Thermaltake Fan Speed Controller
2 x 256MB Samsung CC4 PC3200
Chieftec Dragon DA-01W Full Tower with 5 Sunon 80mm (42CFM) Fans
Chieftec 420W PSU
Win XP Professional + SP1 + ASUS 1.16 Driver Pack
As I have told others, put your CPU_FSB jumper in the 100mhz position. This has helped LOTS of people ;) LMK if that helps ;)Quote:

Sysfailur, thanks for the tip, i tried that but it didn't work out.I still need 1.95v for a stable 200fsb and 2.05v for 205.
Is it possible that there are revisions for NB?
Well if your problem is with vcore, drop your multiplier! Or are you putting that much on your chipset?Quote:

Sysfailur, i'm having 1.95v-2.05v to chipset.
Oh geeze! That's weird. Maybe your chipset is just topping out? You could've just gotten a chip that doesn't OC well.... not sure :\Quote:

Sysfailur, maybe you are right about the chipset topping out! I think i will try my luck with another A7n8x.
Well according to Asus Germany, 1002A bios for the A7N8X Deluxe was released on 02/26/03 and it's the FINAL bios!!!
ftp://ftp.asuscom.de/pub/ASUSCOM/BIO.../A7N8X_Deluxe/
I dunno if anyone linked this, if it was, excuse my lateness.
sysfailure:::I have used this bios since the day it was available from ASUS download site.
It is a good bios, almost great bios.
The shutdown and bootup times are cut in half from the 1002Ubr bios that I had been using.
The cpu temps are down about 3-5c also.
Most everything else is about the same as the Ubr in features available and performance.
Well I noticed that the Finnish guys who hit 250mhz fsb used the 1002A. Today I am on a mission to hit 250mhz myself. Gonna crank 2.0v into the VDD and hopefully w/ the 1002A I'll hit it.
GL Sys , let us know how you make out.:banana:
I´ve just voltmodded my A7N8X. But when I use voltages over 1.9v it wont boot after I shut it down. It works fine restarting and using the reset-button. But whenever I shut it down I have to take out the battery and clear cmos.
Anyone have any idea why that happens for me?
