166fsb prob with asus a7v333

[alexXx]

I have my fsb running @ 166mhz and in sandra it claims my pci is running at 32mhz and my agp is running at 84mhz. What is up? In the bios it claims 166/33. Also in sandra it says it is only a 1/4 divider.. shouldnt it be a 1/5 divider?

asus a7v333
XP1600+ @1660 (10x166)
512mb pc2700 ram.

any help or insite you can give would be very appreciated.

EDIT: i meant to say 42mhz for the pci

What BIOS revision you got there?

i dont think sandra reports accurate info regarding the pci/agp bus.....atleast thats waht ive read in the past

ONO i MEANT to say in the original msg that my pci was running @ 42mhz!! not 32.

Agreed, that BIOS revision officially supports 333MHz-based CPUs so it's going to run the AGP in spec.

Well when i run @ 133fsb, sandra posts them right, but @ 166 it says 1/4 divider.

Let me do a quick test with my A7V333-R/1600+ combo and get back to you. What I'm going to try is running my system at the "official" 166 bus, as if it were a 333-based CPU. In that situation, if Sandra still reports the incorrect PCI speed, then it should be disregarded. Stay tuned...

ok cool, thx man

Yep, I set the CPU to 1750MHz in the BIOS, and below that it shows 166/33 for CPU/PCI bus. Sandra still thinks it's 42MHz and has a 1/4 divider.
