Can you lock your PCI/AGP, the 9700 I have does not like the AGP very high compared to my GF4.

[twiggy]

no i cant lock them.. my bro has the same rig as me, and i mean exactly the same and the cards run fine at 200+fsb in his rig.

[twiggy]

well i couldnt resist i ordered the kd7.

hopefully i wont b disappointed...

We encountered this problem with the Ti4600's on the Abit KR7A. If you reduce AGP to 2X, you'll be able scale your FSB up on the KX7. With the KD7 and its 1/6th divider...you'll be good to go at 8x and 200Mhz FSB+

any1 seen reviews on the kd7? if so can u point me in the direction.

[twiggy]

Same here. No go past about 194FSB. As far as I can tell no one on the orb has ran at 200fsb with a 9700. I am going to play with the delay setting on the ram to see if that is the problem. I believe we has to change it to 840 for the ti4600 to run at high fsb.

Mine won't go over 185 .

I was doing some testing last night for a memory review when I found out it didn't like high FSB's. So in the middle of review I had to switch cards out. Very dissapointed about the 9700 not like high FSB's.

[twiggy]

what ram were u testing?? i just got some corsair 3200 for that new mobo hopefully this thing wont disappoint me.. damn ati i cant believe this damn card cant take the fsb..i think when i get this new mobo im gonna give my ol' g3 everything its got just 4 S&G..

*eyes #1 spot* i only need 900 points 2 take the #1 spot. i think its very possible. the card still has stock cooling.
