Anyone running 220+ MHz FSB? (nForce2 )

[Technonut]

Just curious since I don't see many above 210 posted about.... If @ 220 or above, please post your maximum stable FSB and system specs. I am running:

2500+ AQXEA 0330 UPMW
ABIT NF7-S v2.0
512MB PC2700 Kingston ValueRAM @450MHz 2-3-3-6 (Winbond BH-6)
SK6+ (MCX462+ on the way)
NorthPole NB Cooler

225x10 / 1.7V

i had my ocz 3500EL at 225X10.5 at one time....psu died and since then i have been modding to much to know my max.... i will let u know when i find it...oh that was at 1.725( actually in bios it was 1.775 but undervolts...)

I'll find out tomorrow, I'm currently at 11x217, 4 hours prime95 stable

Tomorrow, tomorrow

I'm able to run 233 just fine... but I have to run my RAM async, so that's no good. If I had PC3700 I'm sure I could do it with no stability problems, as I have already, but not with the RAM in sync.

Ia'm running a Shuttle AN35N ULTRA at 10.5@220. Haven't tryed higher because
room temps were Hot when i built it.
Using HyperX pc3500.
Runs Seti 24/7, Rock stable

 

[pelikan]

220 x 11
2100+ @2420MHz, 1.9V
2 x 256MB HyperX PC3500, 2-2-3-7, 2.9V
slk-800 w/92mm Panaflo L1A and duct

Sweet FSB OC'ing I am seeing so far everyone... Keep 'em coming...

If I had better ram I would also be at 220 or up. But I feel I don't need it because I have reached 210 with my samsung pc2700 ram.

 

[Soulkeeper]

to anyone that is, what are you memory timings ???

 

[NesuD]

214 here with corsair xms pc3200c2 8-3-3-2 timings. gets flakey if i go any higher.

OK- so who's in dual channel, and prime 95/memtest86 stable at these settings?? system may run programs and applications, but under stress test's, bet they crap out. I think there are stability issues w/ dual channel/ memory errors.

 

[Technonut]

Well, I am running a single stick of RAM since 2 kicks 3DMark to the desktop. I ran the following:

Dual Channel

2x512MB Kingston ValueRAM @ 450MHz 2-3-3-6

Sandra: 3421/3191
PCMark2002 Memory: 6998

Single Channel

1x512MB Kingston ValueRAM @ 450MHz 2-3-3-6

Sandra: 3323/3031
PCMark2002 Memory: 6790

Not earth shattering enough to not run the FSB @ 225 MHz SC IMO...

These same two sticks of RAM run in Dual Channel @ 460MHz Street Racer timings in my IC7-G...

I'm running dual channel at 220 FSB. Prime95/memtest86 overnight no errors. People have gotten the NF7-S close to 250 FSB 100% stable.

i once completed 3dmark2k3 at 222 fsb but havn't even come close to getting that stable since and I got a BSOD as soon as i saved the 3dmark score

sometimes i can get into the bios with fsb speeds as high as 230 but the system is not stable at all\

it seems that anything 200 or higher cannot be fully stable on my system even tho it boots at higher speeds

The 'sweet spot' for my 8RDA+ was 222 X 11 with memory timings of 2,2,2,7. The Buffalo Tech 3700 will run 2,2,2,5 timings, but Tras 7 gives best memory bandwidth.

Unfortunately, my 8RDA+ just failed. I replaced it with Abit NF7Sv2 now, but haven't had a chance to push it past 11 X 200 at 2,2,2,7 at initial boot.

I broke out a couple of TwinMOS 256MB sticks (Winbond BH-5) from my stash, and passed a few loops of Memtest86 (all tests) in Dual Channel @ 220x10 / 2-3-2-6. VCore is set @ 1.65 in BIOS, but CPU-Z reports 1.616V...

Sandra: 3355/3140

PCMark2002 Memory: 6920

3DMark01: (Radeon9800 Pro not OC'ed) 18508

I have a feeling that this 2500+ will dance @ 2.4GHz when my Swiftech MCX462+ arrives. Still not bad with a small SK6+ though.

I will go back and complete 10 full loops of Memtest86, then some Prime95 and 3DMark to complete stability testing..

I spent some time pushing my new NF7Sv2, but couldn't stabilize at 220MHz. Running fine and game-stable at 215MHz FSB with 2,2,2,7 timings. Slightly better memory bandwidth than my 8RDA+ at same FSB.

I haven't done anything to the board, just installed it. I think the next step is to check NB cooler interface, install SB cooler, add ramsinks to MOSFETS and investigate a mod to increase chipset voltage.
