W/ apologies, some of this was taken from another thread because I didn't wanna write it all 2x but could use yous' guys' advice.

I wanna take it higher.
I'm still trying a run at prime 95. I've just upped the vcore to 1.8 because it crashed after running at 1.775 w/ prime 95 and 3dmark 2001 se.

Damn 2 sticks of geil ram
pc3200, golden dragon, 2.5 rated. I think I'm running them on optimal right now. THey were at 2-2-2-6 I believe at 3200+ speed.

Damnit.... so far, I'm "only" able to hit 2.4 ghz with my mobile 2400+ and my abit nf7-s.

It will load windows at 203 but then fuck up, won't even post at 204.

Its funny, but upping ram voltage seemed to do nothing, nor did upping chipset voltage.

This chip ran at "stock" <1.5 vcore at 11*200 fsb, btw, w/ no voltage mods whatsoever.

I'm very happy with the processor. I was hoping for a little more outta my ram, but I had to cut a few costs, and ram ended up being second tier instead of first. Its not crappy--Geil Golden Dragon 3200, rated at 2.5, and I'm pretty sure it was doing 2-2-2-6 at 3200+ speed, but I could be mistaken.

Freakin' 204 fsb kills it though. DAMNIT! Won't post, and I'm alot friendlier with cmos than I ever wanted to get.

I've heard that these things sometimes take time, so I'm gonna keep runnin' prime 95 like i've been--right now it kept finding errors after 10 mins or so in prime, which is why I've upped the voltage on the vcore to 1.8. I'm afraid to go too much over that, but thankfully the cpu full load has never taken me over 40 degrees.

Thank you thermalright. Unfortunately, that wonderful vantec tornado fan sounds like a freakin' hurricane instead.

I can hear it downstairs w/ my door closed.

Any advice on v-core/chipset/vdimm settings much appreciated. To increase my fsb.

Also, what do I do now if I can't increase fsb anymore.

I'm at 200fsb/12 multiplier (2.4ghz). What do I try for--200/12.5?

For the record, I havn't flashed the bios in my nf7-s rev 2.0. I'm afraid of it, and don't know if I really need to or not.
