Is this a worlds first, or is something not right ;-)

Ol'right after complete stability testings, seems fine atm, I'll post some screenshots, first need 100% proof :-)

without vdd mod with rev 1.1 8rda+ I can do atm 250fsb asynced(might be why Im doing so high? I dunno, info would be appreciated). I dont have good enough memory to run synced at this speed atm, maybe my hyperx 3500 will be able to come close, will havta wait and see. But for now this is pretty good for me, running the 3522 bios.


Any Comments would be appreciated.

Thanks in Advance

The system temp is related to northbridge temp right? and any idea where the sensor is?

Just some odd things I need to sort out temp wise.

CPU TEMP: 30
SYSTEM TEMP: 20
AMBIENT TEMP: 20

running async at 250 is definitely not the same as being able to run at 250 in sync. i've seen many posts of ppl being able to go past 200 with both fsb and mem async (such as fsb/mem at 200/166 or 166/200), but not while in sync. doing it in sync puts more stress on the system.

in mbm, i set winbond 2 to be my cpu temp, and winbond 3 to be my case temp.

thnx, I can post at 239synced with my buds corsair 3500, I'm sure I should be able to go higher with more overclocking memory, the hyperx 3500 is looking good for me atm.

ps. reply to ur mbm, I only wanted to clear up confusion to what system temp is, is it the northbridge heat or just general case temp?

[AZImmortal]

239 sync'd is VERY impressive, esp w/o any mods.

the case/system temp probe is located just above the 5th pci slot, and measures general internal case temp.

thanks for clearing that up.

I had major issues when I started with even 166fsb, then after alot of reading up about the board and not having the neccesary tools on me atm for modding, I decided to try out a few suggestions, the one that helped me as it seems atm, is running lower mp, I'm running 9multiplier now and everything seems to handle right.

All issues I had disapeared at same clockspeed as I tried with lower fsb and higher multiplier previously.

one issue that still remains, but clearly related to majority of 8rda+ is the high vcore mod I still gotta do when I'm not tired ;p

250 async has been done by quite a few of us ,but 239 is very good sync.

Yep, mine could do 250 async without mods easily.
However, I was stuck synced@229Mhz...
With 1,85V Vdd it goes up to 250 sync though :-D
I don't use it btw. because for 250 sync I have to use horrible latencys and Idon't tolerate anything except 2-2-2 3/5...

[Clipse]

hehe ye, I need betta mem and then Ill have a go again

I don't think that there's better mem out there than our BH5 CHips...
Well except maybe some brand-new Winbond CH5 :-D
They are supposed to be some 10 Mhz faster...

[Clipse]

yes I agree, but what I meant with better mem is related to my mem I got atm which is TERRIBLE :/

oh, so you don't have your TwinMOS atm?

[Clipse]

these are twinmos with pathetic samsung cl3 memory chips on them.

Maybe I should correct my sig, its meant to be corsair, thats what I tested it with, but I'm getting kingston hyperx 3500, hopefully it will rock, CL2 baby ;p

i can do 225 sync but over 180mhz fsb I get crackling after about half an hour in games and mp3's I think I need a better SB cooler!
