Done a little more testing and I have def hit a rock solid wall on the motherboard at 270. even tried dropping the multiplier right down on the CPU. Tried increasing CPU volts further with no luck.
Wondering if my board is faulty or something. If I was stuck at 320 - 340, then fair enough, might be as high as the board can go, but 270? Just wish I knew WTF the problem is. Where are the ATI reps when you need them?

Anyone had any floppy disk troubles? It always says "floppy disk fail 40" at boot despite me using a floppy drive that I KNOW works fine. So i can't even update the bios to see if the new one will make the board work as it's supposed too.

Yes, I know about that setting. Its set to high speed as it should be.
Just did a bit more testing after my computer locked up (Did'nt bother stability testing, as I assumed it would at least be stable at such a low speed) and it appears im in exactly the same situation as Smokeythebandit, I had to drop the HTT to 250 to get a successful 32M SuperPI run. I can't believe it! What on earth is wrong with these boards! I could of got better overclocking performance for 1/3rd of the price on a cheapy Asrock ULI board.

Yeah, i just hope its not long before someone can shed some light on this problem. I've spent a whole lot of cash on a new system and its not really any faster than my XP-M at the clocks i can get. Would'nt be so bothered if I was stuck at 300, at least that would give 2.7 on the opteron.
Found a working floppy drive in an old computer. Flashed the new bios and still have the exact same limit.

Notice the review for the RDX 200 on VR zone came up against a similar wall at 270

Noticed a couple of members mention it in the rdx 200 thread here too. Seems the new bios that just came out fixed it. Hope another bios for this isn't far away with a fix.

Looks like the Bios update from Sapphire made my Grouper really Horny
I hadn't given the updated bios a go since I updated it so I thought what da heck
Vcore @ 1.45v
HT @ 1035mhz
