Like AGP and EIDE, SATA is tied to PCI bus ---> which should always be left at default of 33.33!Originally Posted by Johnny Bravo
I get the feeling that PCI-e may be tied in with SATA (usually is on other boards) So you may wanna be careful if running a SATA harddisk and going for big pci-e frequencies as it may corrupt .
Guys I was wondering if you have or have heard of, this board having a bit of a brick wall on the FSB. After giving the board a full cap swap and the vmods I can run 329FSB rock stable, no problems everything is fine. If I set the BIOS to 330 it freezes at the POST! I've tried single sticks of memory DDR and DDR2, loose timings, everything auto, the works - nothing seems to make a difference. Have you any ideas cus I'm fresh out
Other than the fsb wall being the max bios option of 340, don't know that there is anything else built-in that would force any lower level?
Max stable o/c I have achieved with either 4coredual-vsta or 4coredual-sata2 is 322. Although I haven't yet tried a capacitor "all change" mod.
However, during my mod and o/c testing, I observed that "V-Link" option had a dramatic effect on overclocking levels ---> particularly on 4coredual-sata2. Where V-Link had to be at fastest setting to achieve stable 320's ---> so maybe V-Link "fastest" setting needs to be "faster" and/or the southbridge operating volts, etc, is somehow involved with your apparent overclock wall ??
