Don't feel like frying my Video Card

[Spikesoldier]

Ok, I want to replace my Video card in this system (Has Radeon DDR in right now) with something else. I want to put the radeon DDR in my other system, which is overclocked. It only has one Bus divider setting, and is a LX chipset. (LX's run at 66MHz) but I have tweaked the board and I am stable at 416MHz (83*5) The AGP divider is 1. Yes 1. The PCI is 1/2, ~42Mhz.

Now, If I put my Radeon DDR 4x AGP in this AGP 2x board running at an AGP bus speed of 83MHz will I fry my video card or something?

83mhz is a piece of cake. you shouldnt have a problem at all.
the card wouldnt fry - you just wouldnt get any video at boot til you lowered it, thats all.

Just remembered, only if you bump the voltage up. So AGP MUST be 66MHz?

 

[THUGSROOK]

you should be fine at 83mhz.
agp spec is 66mhz but most cards can go into the 90s - some can go above 100.
83mhz is childsplay

If u wanna be safe. Clock ur system back at default, install ur card & up tht speed again. The moment ur system won't POST (no picture/"snow")...u know the limit.

I had one Geforce Asus video card that wouldnt do past 90 mhz AGP and then my Hercules Prophet did 93 mhz AGP

I had my BH6 board running on a 133 fsb, which puts the agp at 89 mhz, with a Radeon LE vid card with no problems. This LE card has been flashed with a 32 DDR bios, so that is what it is actually running as, with a 194/194 core/memory clock. The only problems that I had on the 133 fsb were due to the lack of a 1/4 pci divider making my hard drive act crazy.
