Er, the proper embedding would be "", then the text for the link, then ""... and keep in mind that not many, if any, of the people here can read Vietnamese... though if you can provide us with a link to a good translator online, we would not mind...

His mobo is nForce2 based, supporting 333 MHz FSB (ouch!).

But the puzzling thing is he doesn't look to have gained much on chipset/mem performance on the 850E (third pic). I thought the FSB and mem bus speeds were the main constraint on mem bw.

I could do it. My mobo will go up to 237. I'm trying to push it faster everyday. Yesturday I had 166.....now 170. I'm trying to get at least 200.

Heh, don't mix up "system clock" with FSB . . .
The 170 DriveEuro mentioned being a system clock speed, corresponding to a 340MHz FSB.

But the FSB is the system clock times two....so a 340 for me.... I'm planing on hitting 400 in a few days.

HEHEHE

If you think thats interesting then look at this guys Overclocking of a stick of Kingston (winbond chips) 256mb/333.

I know its greek but the benchmarks and test apps are pretty clear to understand.

262MHz !!!! thats 524 ddr...................../me hears someone faint

LOOK AT THIS

For those that dont believe it possible heres a tip.....look at his voltages and BTW hes using a prometia cooling system and a highly VOLT modded mobo.

The guy in the vietnamese board had 2x220=440 MHz

I hope you dont mean with your type of cooling??

To get to those type of FSB you need some serious voltage and aircooling will not do the trick.

Plus the ram can go higher than the cpu as its possible to just check the
Clock+33 and tha would mean a 133 fsb +33 x 2 =333 so you see your 340 aint really that much.

To get to 400 on your ram that means a FSB of 200 x2

ha! do not confuse 170 with 220. That is a FAR huger(is that a word) gap than 133-170. In fact the gap between about 205 and 220 is damn big too!!! Highest I've pushed my current rig is 203x8.5... then backed down a bit when I added my 2nd 256 stick of samsung pc2700. Now I run it day to day at 195x9. Plenty fast for me

Dude......I know what I meant when I said that. My ram doesn't cooperate if I jam it up really fast. I've been coaxing it for a couple days. My board can take 237 FSB....thats 474. It all comes in time.

Ok as your not getting it ill tell you again with a little example.

If you read some Extreme overclocking boards you will see that they make a big deal
about FSB's of 220-225 etc and these speeds are reached with very EXTREME rigs both in voltage and cooling (phase change etc.).

My board says Max fsb 220 but that doesnt mean that i can reach it with the 1.85 max voltage the board gives me.

Here is another example:

My previous mobo (chaintech apogee) allowed me to reach a FSB of 152 on my LOCKED 2100+ but only if i set the vcore to 2 volts and it got pretty hot (up to 49c compared to 38c on regular voltage).
This mobo only allows amax vcore of 1.85(1.82 actual) so the best FSB ive seen is 142.

Unless your planning to Change your cooling and maybe a few things more its IMPOSSIBLE for you to do it.

Btw whats your max voltage setting(vcore) in the bios???

One more thing:

Whats the point in Overclocking if your not gaining any overall speed???(if your really using that multiplier i see in your sig)

I am just trying to get to a stable FSB first, then I will overclock. My board doesn't like jumping to different FSBs right away. I have to coax it and ease it up there.

Before anyone makes fun of ya and tells you you're crazy, I just wanted to mention that I do the same thing and have to "ease" me babies up there sometimes too. OCing is an art, not just a science.

I was stupid. When I first got this board I tried to do 166 right away. Didn't work. Then I read that with some motherboards you have to ease it up. And really. I had to ease it up there. It doesn't like 10mhz jumps. I have to do it in 5mhz jumps.

I was told that a 1600+ AGOIA will do 166fsb out of the box... I found this just not to be so. After bumping the fsb up 1Mhz at a time... I finally hit 166... after many more days, I got over the 170 mark. This is on a locked processor BTW.

I changed motherboards, and I figured that I could take it straight back where I had it before. That wasnt exactly so either. Evidently the motherboard, as well as the processor needs to go through a "burn-in" before the maximum potential of the motherboard can be realised.

Now... I can hit 178Mhz for short period of times. Not too shabby for an 81 dollar motherboard, and a 48 dollar CPU.

I am going to try to volt modify my motherboard a little higher... so that I can get 2.25 volts...

Still trying to hit the 1900Mhz mark...

Yeouch...Drive, have you gotten that high of an FSB before, or is that just what some review site says...you have a loooong way to go, just don't break anything!

I'm trying to get a CPU clock of 200... right now I'm at 195 with stock CPU voltage and just 2.6 on the ram. It actually runs fine on 2.5 but I just keep it there for insurance. I am going little by little. Tomorrow will be 200 or 205. Then we go higher. HEHE.

edit: Reno: Abit claims this board will do 237...it's just a matter of time till i can attempt to get there....I dunno if I wanna go that far though....but still.

man! someone should have told me about this "easing" it up there bit... took me kx7-333, samsung pc2700 CTL and unlocked xp1700 right from box to 166. Had it to 200x8.5 within an hour.... suppose I burned it in.... with a flamethrower

got me a new xp2100 "b" on its way too. Should be here end of week or beginning of next week. She ain't gonna see no burn in either! and if a mobo is kt333 or kt400 and it won't do 166 or 200 (respectively) fsb right out of box that spells RMA in my book...

and I betcha its your ram sticks that need the burning in process not your mobo or your cpu's... but anywho, it's all good until you start to smell that burnt electical smell right kinetic?

Shuki, I have no idea what difference it made.

I went from a MSI KT3 Ultra, to a MSI KT3 Ultra2 - R

And I just about had to start over on my over clocking adventure.

But now everything is purring right along at *almost* 1900 Mhz!

Not bad for a processor that started out life as a 1400Mhz Processor

You are right about the "burn-in" on the memory.

Right now I have the Corsair XMS PC3200 C2

this stuff is SCREAMING fast! runs happily at 178Mhz at stock volatages in Cas2

Right now I just need more voltage! BWAHAHaHAHahahahaaa!

As sooon as I can afford it. I think it will be time for the AXP 2400+

overclocking that should be lots of fun. I dont thing I should have a problem with hitting the 2400Mhz mark

I've read somewhere that mem sticks need a burn-in time to run at higher frequencies, sthing related to the physical contact (in the socket). Also, when taking the stick out - i.e. for dusting - this process would have to be repeated.

Also, the Arctic greases - both Silver and Alumina - need some hours of burn-in before they run full spec (36 for AA and 72 for AS3).

Yes, but I can't expect everyone to remember, do I? I didn't feel that it was important to state my location (it isn't), but sometimes it may come in handy.
