8rda+ owners. Whats your highest ram overclock?

[dxkj]

I thought this might belong in the motherboard forum, but because of the question i thought it would get better feedback here.

What is your highest ram speed without modding the bridge for additional cooling?


Thanks

[kaZ8Teen]

im at 11x200 /w twinmos pc3200 ch-5 2.77vdimm default vcore NO Extra northbridge cool.
BTW running 2100+

The one that hits 215 has a zalman passive NB heatsink, the 220 used the stock cooling.
I don't think active cooling is necessary if the case airflow is good. Neither heatsink was more than warm after running for a few hours.
Right now my home pc is running 215*11 using 1 512mb stick of buffalo pc3700 bh-5 (i don't recall the timings but I think its 2.5,3,3,7)
I'm still fine tuning it though, and I can probably hit 216~219 stabily, but 220 wasn't stable with any timings. The other board, I only tried 220 & 200, and they were both very stable.

Highest so far was 10.5x215, Rev. 1.1 w/A1 NB, lapped stock HS with Ceramique. The cooler never got more than slightly warm to the touch, but the case it was in at that time had a Panaflo 120MM L1A side intake blowing right on the HS/NB area of the MB.

This board is now in a Compucase LX-6A19 with only 2-120MM fans. FSB has been "downshifted" to 200 to cope with running SETI/SoB 24/7 in summer heat. No mods done to the side panel yet, and the NB is warm to the touch.

My PC2700 is holding me back but I've gotten to 11x190. I am sitting at 184x12.5, as it's benched alot better.

11x200=2200Mhz

see sig

245fsb 100% (NOT stable)

235fsb 100% (stable... )

256meg generic PC3500 @2.8 volts (version 1.1 board no VDD modd or cooling modd)

225 not 100% stable but damn near close...

So,

Highest stable. 220 FSB..
