A test

Just got hold of A7N8X-E Deluxe and 1GB GEIL PC3500 but am having problems getting the FSB to work over 200Mhz. The CPU im using is a XP2400+ (Tbred-B) which is known to be able to clock reliably to about 2250. The maximum FSB in which the machine will boot windows is 202Mhz except strangely...

Hello all! I was just wondering if the NF7-S reads the cpu die temp as opposed to the MB thermal diode. The reason I ask is because I used to have a Soyo Dragon KT400 Ultra Plat mb that read on die temps & those temps were always cooler than the mb sensor reported. I figured it's because of the...

This is really weird. I upgraded my main box (1700+ tbred B DUT JIUCB, Epox 8RDA+) about a month ago by swapping the cpu with a 2100+. I put the 1700+ into my old MSI Nforce1 box. The thing was running at default setting and NOT overclocked. While I had it in my Epox it was mildly...

Simple question with a complex answer. Has anyone been able to get their barton 2800 over the 2.4ghz limit that I seem to have. Nothing I do seems to allow it to get higher.

Hi, Here's what I'm thinking of doing: the Duron 1200 is obviously running the 333MHz memory at 200MHz... (or the 166MHz memory at 100MHz, whatever :-) Can I set the fsb upto 166/333, and set the multiplier accordingly without doing the 'pencil trick' on the Duron? Or do I have to do the pencil...

Potentially stupid question, so please be kind. I have a 400FSB barton chip that I'd like to test however I only have an A7V8X-X which, although it supports a 400FSB memory does not support 400FSB CPU's. Will I do irreperable harm to said MB by plugging in a Barton chip? Or do I merely risk a no...

I can get the following mb's for around the same price: Any comments - reasons to choose one or the other? ASUS A7V8X-X ASUS A7V333 REV 2.0 EPOX EP-8RDA+ MSI K7N2

Just wondering if I should try pushing mine further. It's rated 2g and running stable at 2280. All I've done is up the FSB in the BIOS, from 266 to 304. If I increase the FSB further then it doesn't recognize all my ram, ie, 768 will show on boot instead of 1000 Any suggestions for...

I have 2 sticks of 512MB Kingston HyperX PC3500 memory with an overclocked AthlonXP 2500 (11.5x200, 1.75v). All stable at the moment with my mmory at 2.8v and timings of 8-3-3-2. I am thinking of reducing memory to 6-2-2-2. Has anyone gone that low with this sort of configuration? Larry...

Hey, I am putting together a new system for myself. I will be O/C'ing this setup. I purchased an A7N8X-Deluxe MB, 2x256M Crucial PC3200 DDR ram and have just received my PSU, a Fortron/Source FSP400-60PFN 400 Watts. My CPU is an retail AMD XP2500 and has a date code that indicates an un-locked...

With the introduction of the A64 3400+, the 3200+ has dropped to $270 (from about $400). The $270 price is from Newegg. It's now lower in price than the XP 3200+ ($299) which is considerably slower. -- Abit KT7-Raid (KT133) Tbred B core CPU @2400MHz...

Hello: I just put together a second PC with a K6-2 CPU. From what I read, danger temps. for this type of CPU is 60-70degC. The CPU I have is running around 43-45degC. Is this the average temp. or should it be lower? TIA Chris.

I am considering upgrading my motherboard and processor - from Athlon M4(Thunderbird) 1.1 to an AMD XP 2800 - but will I need to get a new case as well? I currently have a 300watt case, I would be grateful if someone could advise me. Colin Webb

Those of you who are using the NF7-S with a single DIMM. which slot are you putting it in? 3 does noo work on mine, even though it suggests that in the manual. THanks
