Epox Nforce3 overclockers

[Staz]

Just have a few questions for those that overclock...

Which CPU do you have and how high have you overclocked it?

What HT multiplier do you have, 3x, 4x, or 5x?

What is your FSB up to?

Did you lock your AGP at 66, or increase it?

Did you lock your memory at 200, or let it increase to the FSB? I presume there is no % modifier available in the BIOS, correct?

Did you have to increase voltages for any of the above? If so, to what?


Thanks in advance for this info as it will help me decide on how high to push my system.

Hey Staz, I have a 9nda3+:

I have a Winchester 3200+ (10x250mhz=2.5 ghz)
Memory 200/166 will depend on how good your memory is and how high your fsb is, which depends on what cpu you buy, so thats better addressed once you have a cpu and memory picked out

cpu voltage +0.2v more or less depending on how far you go, but thats a good start
memory voltage - may as well go to the max 2.8v, this is ideal for tccd and probably most other memories if you are OC'ing, not high enough you cause any concern about safety
I think the AGP is fine at 67 or 66, both are locked I understand, despite widespread claims of needing to be 66
I've seen FSB >300 a lot, its one of the best mobos for this
HT multiplier is safe and fine at x3, only go x4 after everything else is stable and you have the htt <250 (its really a negligible increase if you bench it and in practical use)


PS: with all your questions, you may find yourself running into some trouble, keep at it, don't blame the hardware, keep in mind you have most likely overlooked something
