...only if you run it at 2500-3000rpm...

So I will take it that running my AGP bus at 100 MHz shouldn't really be of much concern to me? 😛

(No worries about the pci bus, it runs at locked 33MHz speed)

maybe if i burn it in it will go higher! 😉

Burning in takes too much time... maybe you could rig up a contraption so you could hook a 12 V car battery to it and burn those electrical pathways wide open to get things moving faster through them

I'll give Tim Taylor from Tool Time a call and see what he can do for us....😉
 
FYI
The PCI 2.2 standard includes 66 Mhz as an allowed speed (ATi RADEON 7k series (PCI) run @ 33/66 Mhz)

As for APG: no idea on specs
 
Ran 82.5/41.25 on my bx board for years. I have a Maxtor 4.3GB hd that's in my current system and was run at the 41.25 speed for perhaps 3 years & it's still fine as is an IBM hd that was run for 2 years. My current ATI radeon VIVO AGP video card was run for at least a year at 82.5 (and overclocked itself) & its still running fine in my current system. I wasn't an avid overcloker and used no cooling other than what was on the PSU - never even monitored temps or anything. So it appears the long-term effects, whether from the extra juice or the heat, are minimal...
 
Didn't realize how hot I made the nVidia MCP-T by increasing the AGP so high 😛

I monitored the chip's temperature and saw it hit near 140 F :Q

This is on the Epox 8RDA+
 
I will check it again after restoring the AGP to 66 MHz.. maybe it's just always hot in general.. I'll see 😛

id say its time for a chipset heatsink @ 140*F 😉

I think so too 😀

Lowering down the AGP bus to 66MHz brought it around 115-120 F..
I'm gonna go ahead and buy a chipset hs/f since I prefer to overclock the bus anyways 😛

 
actually "back in the day" of p2 and p3 overclocking, many of us ran in the 90-100 mhz agp range mostly cause we didnt have a choice.

its the pci mhz that can get you in trouble.
some harddrives will be very unhappy, etc.

Heh... I remember when I ran a 600E@160fsb rock solid... Got greedy and went 162fsb and poof! my HD totally crashed on me (file corruption, etc.). Only one system back then. Try renaming 400+ mp3 files because they all reverted back to DOS-style names (first 8 characters followed by"~" 😱😀
 
darn...so you're saying that its not safe to run your agp/pci out of spec? the reason i ask is because i have a 8k3a, and i'm not sure whether or not it has a agp/pci lock on it. I ordered some pc3500 memory and i wanted to try running my system at a higher fsb than 166....currently have it at 13x166. If i up the fsb to say 200, will this mess up my other devices in my system?
 
just like any form of overclocking ~ you can go too far.
where "too far" is will depend on quite a few things.

🙂
 
hey THUGSROOK, I know this is very off subject in this thread but my browser is screwing up & i cant pm you at the moment; what is the highest vcore for p4 i can use with a prometeia without frying it (to run at all the time, if stable)? does temp matter over 1.7-1.75v? or will more than that endanger my proc no matter what my temps & how well it is cooled?
 
Har.... the onboard audio on the BE7-R is teh suk :|.
I just sold my Audigy as I plan to upgrade to an Audigy2 here in a few weeks. But when I fired my that computer back up, turned on the onboard audio, and it did not even register in Windows.

n/p, I load up the drivers and it did not even find the card. I step the AGP/PCI bus down to 68/34 from 88/44 and still no sound. So I locked it at 66/33 respecivly and boom. The onboard sound comes up and plays right away.
I bring the busses up again to 68/34 and the sound no longer registers again.
Wouldn't Abit at least put in sound that is upto task of their mobo's if they sell it?
