Is this it?
OK, so far I've only been able to push my 2400+ to 180MHz FSB. Is this as far as I can get it with my current setup? Any thing higher results in instability. Details: A7N8X Deluxe Rev 2.0, 2400+ T-bred, 2x256 Kingston Hyper X PC3200, Antec 380W True power PSU. Any Idea what's holding me back? Thnx in advance!

Knew I forgot something...
1) 8-3-3-2.5 (Optimal) 2) 12.5 w/ 180MHz, Tried 11-12 w/ 190MHz, No go 3) 1.80 vcore, Tried max settings (1.85 for this MB) w/ 190MHz, No go Also, my temps run at 43C/114F so that's not a problem. |

Well, after many tries with various settings, I can not break 180MHz.
 I've tried 190MHz with multipliers 9-11, increasing RAM and Vcore voltages to max BIOS settings (2.8 and 1.85). Just can't run 3DMark01 or 03 stable. Guess I have to live with 180MHz. |

The 3dMarks suck for any overclocking at all. If you run games well then what does it matter what a synthetic benchmark tells you eh?

I have to disagree with bagel. 3dmark is an excellent bench to run for testing OC stability. Now as to your 180 wall... you have given us your vcore volts but not the vdimm volts. how high will that go?

I also agree with shuki and Maxy! 3dmark is a very good bench to test out a systems stability.

I agree.... right now I am running a torture test know simply as TOAST, and I must say that I find this program to be mighty fine in telling me if an overclock is stable.
Then I run 3DMark and see if it remains stable.... Here is my best overclock so far:  |
