    Wow guys.

    I bought a stick of Twinmos 3700 ( getting a NF2 soon anyway ) and was trying for 220- 225 with only a GF4 card inserted. It gave me a lotta trouble.

    My PC3000 XMS did 3Dmark @ 217 @ CAS2 , 2, 4 , 6, 2, T2. So i was hoping the twinmos would get me higher.

    Do you guys think a 80w Pelt on the NB would make 230 FSB more likely?

    222 for me with a 9700 pro.

    the highest stable speed was at 209.
    great board though.
    very fast.

    Here is my highest FSB:



    That was unstable, but i could run 3dmark2001 fine at 233MHz FSB. I have a sisoft sandra screenshot at 235MHz FSB too.

    I run my FSB at 200MHz for everyday use, just that high when i am benching. The only thing i have changed on this motherboard, is i took the stock NB off, and put a tiny 486 heatsink (not much bigger than the original NB heatsink) on there with a 40mm fan.

    These high FSB's are with my 512mb stick of Twinmos PC3200 at aggressive timings at 2.9v.

    CPU cooled by a Vapochill PE (Titanium)
    GPU and NB cooled by Eheim 1250, BIX, dangerden Z-chip block (for NB) and Swiftech MCW50-T (for GPU)

    I don't know, it seems to like the high FSB's

    I don't use any PCI cards (i only use a network card when i go to a LAN), so i don't get bottlenecked there. With those FSB's i had all the other stuff turned on (sound, serial, usb etc). I might have another benchmarking session in a week or 2 and turn that stuff off and see how high it goes. I'm actually quite surprised that my hard drives are still alive, and they don't have any bad sectors.
