Make sure you set your memory timings to the same manually as they would be for SPD at a max memory clock of 200MHz and FSB of 200MHz - that way they will run stably when you drop mem and increase bus.

I have uber-stability!

Performance is great since memory is still running a direct interface to CPU at 227Mhz and HTT is increased. It's not like doing such with an Athlon XP processor where you are pushing the bus's out of synch - it actually imporves performance on A64 provided you take the HT far enough to take the memory to it's top speed.

will give it a go when get in

I've put the proof of the pudding in my sig now for my S754 system............. One of my 3D compares is there

cool 22738 was my highest before tonight

[EPoX Tech]

And a dinky little 36 second super PI

Do you think Team 45 would have a use for that Rig ?

In the interests of science and your own personal testing I think you should donate its space cycles to F@H for us!
It would be interesting to see how fast it folds. Go on ET, you know it makes sense!

I don't see why not!

SItting at 250X9, ram at 208, no overclock on the gpu yet. Seems very stable

And look at the speed on that tinker

I'll let you into a secret - something I'm doing to try to destabilise things and prove to you that you can easily go one step further :-

I'm using 1 crucial PC3200 based on Micron at 256MB and 1 Sammy TCCC 256MB. At 2.72v they are doing 228Mhz 8,3,3,3,1T with my HT at 274MHz.

One thing that you are seeing differently to me is system temperature but that is possibly the fault of the sensor and Winbond and ME!!

To Bradmax - PCI difficulty - the 2 devices you are seeing only certain ports running well - Audigy and IEEE1394a - yeah I appreicate these current chipset / BIOS limitations - think that these will iron out soon - nothing that I've done or can do there.

It has to be said though that these boards do rock and roll guys! Think that in the morning I will try past 300 x 8 with memory at 133MHz (divide HT by 1.5 to get memory speed when using this setting or CPU Clk/12)

Another couple of more complete images - here's the first with new laser etched logo

tried those timings and got c1 one error and beeps, seems like my ram doesnt like loose timings, managed just short of 23k last night, just need a few more points pleeeease

[EPoX Tech]

And the second one in the dark - I'm pretty proud of getting such stable overclocks given the neatness and compactness of the system. Bradmax - you have more to go now since I'm doing 23,647!!!

nice noticed the bluetooth box there, is that a bt dongle my one is driving me nuts

[EPoX Tech]

That's a new style Bluetooth headset for active people that actually fits into the ear like a hearing aid.

nice, ive been through 3 different ones actually finally found a motorola one that came with my new v600 fits prefect, i blame my parents
a few screenies of mine

[EPoX Tech]

Nice! I think only Dod is needing to flash loads of images to us now after I mixed his board up at the end of last week!

[bradmax57]

And at 235

[EPoX Tech]

Give the memory divider game another try! Sure at 8x you will really put some through that memory with a 166max clock.

[bradmax57]

weird, set fbs 260, multi to 8x = 2080mhz (no problem) set ram to 166 = 216ddr (no problem) and system just hung after windows xp logo, code was showing as FF so wasnt a problem there, although i managed to boot into windows in safe mode? Like i mentioned yesterday i found in the past i could overclock more stably with sp2 installed maybe do that again, oh well must get off to work
