Any luck with 10.5x210? I tried 10x220 and it didnt work. It wouldn't load into windows at that setting. I tried to up the voltage and i got a blue screen before loading into windows. I gave up and set it back to 11x200. Now I'm thinking about 10.5x210.

I still working my way up but right now I'm at 215 x 10.5.

I was getting memtest errors at 220 so I went back to 215 x 10. Ran memtest overnight at 2 2 3 11 with no errors.

WCPUID
Internal Clock : 2262.63 MHz
System Bus : 430.98 MHz DDR
System Clock : 215.49 MHz
Multiplier : 10.5

Barton 2500 AQXEA 0331 NF7-S


I still need to get Prime95 and run it at this speed for a final check.

edit/
I read somewhere, I think it was the Abit forums, that the bios CPU Interface will limit speeds for many to the 220 range. I believe if you disable it that you can get faster bus speed but at a penalty of reduced timings. You might want to check the Abit forums for more info.

hi ,

same here , you can see in my sig , i've been running 10 x 215 @ 2150 MHz for ages now , im just waiting for a better cooling solution.;)

What are you guys temps ? Ive been online for about 2 hours now just browsing nuthing extreme im only @ 34º as type this post .

I usually cruise around that level @ 34º/35º most of the time when browsing , gets to about 40º - 42º when i hit more eXtreme .

What are your temps like at those settings , also what RAM settings are you guys using ?

?Im planning on getting a swiftech block for my CPU & NB .... and if i can afford it mabye GFX card.
Gonna put the rest together myself ... the cheapo way ... it's more fun that way :D

I was able to clock mines @ 10.5x215 but Prime95 gave me an error instantly. Took this as a bad sign and changed it back to 11x200. Temps usually run in middle to upper 30's idle and lower to middle 40's full load. That is with my aero7+. I haven't had to time to run it with my slk setup yet. As for ram, its in my sig.

10.5x210 here. Going to try higher FSB soon with a 10x multiplier :)

My Corsair CMX3500C2-PT is running 2-2-2-11 right now at 2.8v :D so I know it has more in it.

Hi ,

Ive had it stable for about 5 hours now in Prime95 @ 10 x 118 @ 1180 MHz ;)

vCore @ 1.75v Temps are just the same as before mid 30's idle / mid 40's load.

I can have the CPU running @ 12 x 185 @ 2220 @ 3200+ and it feels OK fast.

but

I can have it @ 10 x 215 @ 2150 MHz @ 3000+ and it feels faster than the 3200+ settings .

I've been told this is because of the higher FSB .... thats the settings i leave it at . 3000+:D

Yes ... I can run 220 ,,, but 215 gives me better performance.
(on my NF7-S ,,, check your benches)

Look at my sig..

At 220 I need chipset voltage at ~1.9v thou

So ,,, running 215 is cooler ,,, AND a better performer
