I'd like a new bios to have more than 250
266 for example

because 250 isn't enough to break 4Gb/s

oh well gotta get a abit nf7s.. but first comes my lian li pc65 got tired of my old cs 601

afaik the pll is integrated into the southbridge and doesnt support an fsb over 250mhz?

Have you guys tried running the unbuffered/unoptimized test?

at 245x10 im gettin 1803/1962 also ran it at a bit higher cpu speed at 242x11 and got 1830/1978...using 3-2-2-2 timings

buffered at 245x10 was 3778/3552

what memory sticks are you using and at what voltage?

Nice job JC

How high was v-core when you did that?
And where the hells my EPOS

EP-8RDA+ v.1.1
A3 stepping northbridge

The northbridge has the ability to go all the way to 216FSB @ 1.85vdd. This is with a GF2 HS and 50MM fan; without the fan all that was attainable was 205 FSB.

Single channel, only one stick now, of corsair XMS3200. It'll go all the way up to 210ish or so @ CL2, 3-2-2 but is not stable. To run at DDR433 (216) I have to up Vdimm to 2.9v and relax the timings to CL2.5, 7-3-3.

Another thing to note is that my system is not stable at 216FSB with "Aggressive" (northbridge?) timings. "Optimal" is required. At aggressive the GUI turns bluish and other interesting visual anomalies pop up. :p

**causticVapor** · 04-19-2003, 05:44 AM

Here's a dramatic visualization of what happens when I try to run 216FSB at aggressive with 1.85vdd:
