Asus K7V and 200Mhz FSB

[CrazyLady]

Does anyone know how to set the K7V to a 200Mhz FSB?


Thanks!

You mean 200mhz DDR = 400mhz FSB? Or 100mhz DDR = 200mhz FSB? If latter, it's the default FSB setting, and you should have no trouble finding it from BIOS setup. If former, well, keep on dreaming

I'm talking about going from 100Mhz to 200Mhz. Sandra says my M/B is running at 100Mhz. I know the board is capable of doing 200Mhz but it it not clear which setting in the bios does this. I have a CPU frequency at 100Mhz but the highest setting there I believe is 155?? However I was under the impression that was for overclocking your processor. I just want to set my FSB to 200Mhz.

hue... it's not mean your CPU frequency must run at 200 mhz!!!

until now i haven'nt found the mobo got 200 fsb on their bios setting!!

On Athlon platform FSB works quite differently compared with current Intel systems. By definition, Front Side Bus is the bus between CPU and motherboard north-bridge. On Athlon systems this bus operates by using doule data rate signaling, which essentially means that amount of data transferred is two units per clock. Data is moved between Athlon and motherboard at the rate of 200mhz while bus clock is operates at 100mhz. Memory bus, bus between north bridge and memory is operating at single-data rate, and on VIA Apollo KX133 chipset of K7V can be clocked independtly of Front Side Bus.

Sandra reports CPU-to-north bridge clock rate, which is 100mhz. However, the effective speed, data rate of this bus is 200mhz. It's the same thing with DDR GeForce memories - they're not clocked at 300mhz range in reality. CPU and motherboard manufacturers - of course - just like to word out the bigger number.
