    ABit IX38 QuadGT : Worth the effort?

    Hi, max i hit was 425 fsb stable ie 4.05 ghz at 1.3 volts. have not bumped up anything but brought the ram voltage upto 2.1 that is below its rated 2.2, and increasing the cpu core voltage. I want to understand what the other voltage settings, mch, ich, vtt, etc do, and what do they tweak?

    ABit IX38 QuadGT : Worth the effort?

    Im gonna first see how that runs with this board, then take a decision whether to sell it or not. since you are running 12b06, did you try 13 and go back to it, or still have to try out 13? and what are your pwm temps like on load? i get about 39-40 idle, and 45-47 load, but i have a old amd...

    ABit IX38 QuadGT : Worth the effort?

    Im running fsb 1:1 400 mhz, as the patriot is rated for 555-15 at 500 fsb with 2.2 v. right now im running them pretty normally at 1.9v, 444-12 timings at 400 mhz. i dont really understand straps, but could it be that my procy is the bottleneck here, as it just does not go above 400. Im going...

    Asus P5E-VM HDMI: best matx ever?

    the ix38 hits like 500 fsb max.. unless you are on liquid or extreme cooling, also the pwms have a tendency to get hot. i cant post above 420 because my chip is a bottleneck here it seems. im running 400*8 at 1.4Vcore and the system runs pretty cool including the pwms, the pwms getting hot have...

    Anyone remember overclocking using jumpers?

    My first machine was a pentium mmx 166 mhz, with 16 mb ram, and a 1.2 gig drive. ( in india , it was a dream in 1997 to have such a machine ) had to set the multi and the fsb manually, even the v-core was set with jumpers. i think it was a 440 chipset or something, im not clear. but i remember...
