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 a asus a7v mb and a amd athlon xp2000 q. how do i run this cpu at the speed it should q.how do i change my settings? q.do i have to set the jumperswitches in a specific order? why doesn`t my system boot when i adjust those switches? newbee,john

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

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...

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...

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.

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...

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...

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...

I have also started looking at the Asus A7N8X BTW I do want to overclock and play a bunch of games mainly C&C and sports. Thanks already for the replies I've gotten. Bob

Hi, Looking to upgrade some parts and was wondering if anyone knows of any good US retailers that will ship to the UK with a sensible shipping charge? With the very low dollar at the moment I'm looking to get some bargains. TIA Homer.

I am thinking about overclocking and was wondering if someone could help guide me in the right direction. I would just like to get a little boost without having to go out and buy a bunch of crap to get it done. Here is my system: AOpen AK77-333 Athlon XP 2100 Thouroghbred 300 wt power...

I bought parts from Newegg to build a new computer and it won't start. I have built 6 or 7 and, I'm slow, but they've all been successful in the end. But this time... I don't know. When the power is plugged in, I can see a standby power LED on the motherboard that is on. When I push the start...

Hi, I've just bought Hercules 3D Prophet 9600. Is it possible to oc it? mobo: Asus A7N8X deluxe cpu: Athlon 2500+ Barton (1,82@2,0GHz) 2x 256MB Kingston any ideas? thx

I know it's ancient history, but I'm putting together a machine for my 7 y.o. son. I ran across this mobo from a salvaged system (http://web.epox.com/html/motherboard.asp?product=EP-58MVP3C-M&lang=1) and replaced the AMD-K6 233 with a K6-2 450 that I bought for next to nothing on eBay. Well, come...

I have a Compaq Presario 12xl223 laptop(600 MHz) that could use a little more life. Opened it up and seen that the processor is a socket 370, nothing special about it. I have a 766 MHz processor on my shelf here that will drop right in, but the bios will not recognize it. is there another bios out...

According to the BIOS, my CPU Temperature has hit 52C. I have this cpu oc'd to 2.1g with 200fsb, 10.5 multiplier and 1.75v. A Vantec aeroflow is on the cpu and the case has a front and rear 120mm fan. Is 52C too hot? Thanks.
