asus a7n8x: what fsb are you at ???

[Soulkeeper]

just wondering what fsb speeds you are all running with this board
i can't get 200 stable even with a vdd mod

 

[Soulkeeper]

bump, i am returning my a7n8x 2.0 delux because it can't go above 185fsb (370 effective)
yet there is a sticker on the box that says "400 fsb ready" and says it has the "nforce2 spp (ultra 400) chipset"

i read on many sites that the rev 2 was nforce2 ultra not the older revision
i even checked the board and saw where it said rev 2.0

now that i got it I find that it don't run 400fsb nomatter what settings i make

so i take the northbridge heatsink off and
Find something similar to this just without the circle on the northbridge

then i find this on an nforce2 ultra 400 review


what a scam
i think i'll get the abit board now

can anyone prove to me there is one that runs 200mhz fsb out of the box ?

166MHz here, with a 2500+ @ stock speed In other words... "bump!"

Yes, go for abit nf7 or nf7-s.

Edit: Before returning your MB, tweak the memory timing. try 2.5-3-3-8 or 2.5-4-4-9

 

[Soulkeeper]

yeah i tryed those timing combinations (amoung others)
my mem is rated at 217 2-2-2-6 @2.6v
3-3-3-8 @2.8v wasn't even stable at 200fsb

12.5 x 180 here. I'm being conservative.
