As always seeking for the fastest frontside bus and will find the max mhz later of the chip

Now, I know that the ram will hit 460mhz+ but am wondering what setting is everyone using to hit those great fsb with their chips. This is my third chip, the first barton 2800+ had the ocz pc3200 ram max out at 428mhz so that was that box, the second was a barton 2800+ with new ram this time ocz pc3500 which i tested quickly in the first box to 460mhz then only to find that this new chip maxed out at 432mhz.


Now i am on my third box, this time i traded my barton 2800+ for a 2500+

Thus, i know that cpu interface is a nice boost in performance, however it is a limitor when trying to get those high fsb's. Now, what setting are you guys using to get over 440fsb since i know that these setting will make the difference of getting that high and not, if all other parts are up for the task, hoping that this time i have the right combo.

Here are my specs

Barton 2500+ week 32 i think
ocz pc3500 @ 2,2,3,6
artic silver 5
Zalman CNPS7000A-Cu @ full speed
antec sonata case
antec true power 380W
abit nf7-s rev. 2.0
asus geforce 2 pro
WD 8mb 80gig
Fujitsu 20gig liquid bearing
acer 48X combo drive

Volts = 1.775Vcore, 1.7V northbridge, 2.9Vdimm
 
I was able to hit 235 with it enabled, but need it disabled to do 245. Basically I ran memory benchmarks with different settings. I found that I was better of keeping my FSB at 235 and my interface enabled with slightly titer timings...Over a 245FSB with interface disabled, and more relaxed timings
 
now what other setting did you use, ie what ration 3/3 6/6 etc did you use meaning that i know I want to run sync with the fsb but why do they give you 3 1/1 ratios, is their a difference.

ALso, is their a bios version difference and if so what one is better

I have also head that the abit doesnt like high fsb's with multi 10 and 10.5 does this hold a grain of truth?

Also what about other settings?

I am currently at 434fsb, probally can go higher but no i cant get it to 460fsb at which i once had.

Suggestions?
 
CPU Interface enabled is worth like 20 - 25 FSB against it being disabled. It should ALWAYS be enabled.
CI Interface is the latency between chipset and CPU. Other mobos like the Epox & DFI allow you set the level of latency eg..Optimal or Aggressive instead of Enable or Disable.
 
Still a no go, well what bios options are you guys using?

Also, what bios version are you using?
 
I have a Nf7

My settings,
CPU: 11x235, interface enabeled, core votlage 2.2v
Memory: 3:3 Ratio, 2.5-3-2-11, 3.2v, Dual Channel
Chipset: 2.0v

that about all i can remember off hand....

damm i want a Althlong64.....2.58 Ghz is just too slow...
 
What fsb were you able to get before you did the chipset Vmod?

Also, what are your temps since 2.2V is tons to cope with, i am now at 2222mhz @ 404fsb 1.8Vcore and 82Watts at 40.5C idle with the zalman heatsink..
 
is anyone finding that certain multipliers will allow higher fsbs, since i have heard as mentioned above that 10,10.5 dont like high fsbs

Also, is their a certain bios that you guys are using that will allow higher than the original bios that your motherboard came with, i have heard d10 is good, has anyone else found that to be true, i am currently at 216fsb and havent found the limit yet, but am sure it isnt the 460 the one motherboard i had did.

Now, i forget the bios that it was but it was a quite early one since i got the board as soon as it was available in canada..

help would be much appreciated

try diffrenct BIOS's, i just use the latest ones... And what do you mean you havent found your MAX? have you even tried to go higher..theres onyl a few boards that can go to 230FSB stock... I neeven to also mod my PSU to get a stabel 3.3v line to get that high

The wrong multiplier can be a bitch sometimes. Certain ones will never work at all, regardless of bios used. Its a known issue with some nforce2 and XP cpu's.
