My 8rda will not o/c to 200mHz FSB. I just got some 512meg TwinX 3200LLPT, and I can't seem to get it over 183 -184 FSB (same as my XMS PC2700), Well I'm gonna try just one stick tomorrow, loose timings and see if I can get it up any higher. I also ordered Vantec Iceberg cooler(which now I don't think is gonna help much). I'm gonna add that on to the NB and see if that will get me up to 200 (which I doubt, but I already ordered it, lol). But assuming none of this works, I'm just gonna buy a new motherboard, any good recommendations for a board that will let me get the most out of this CPU.

Vdd mod is an option but I'm not very skilled at soddering.

you can do the vdd mod w/o soldering... it involves smd grabbers....

but if you do it wrong, it's over! (like me... blew up my 8rda+ trying to do the mod)

the abit nf7-s is a great choice...

but i think i'd have to recommend the epox 8rda3+ or try to get your hands on a rev 2.0 8rda+

these things have vdd voltage up to 2.0 volts in the bios ... as the nf7-s only has it up to 1.7volts...

but then again doing the vdd mod on the abit nf7-s is fairly easy and involves only a pencil...

get it here

and you can get the 2500+ from here as well to save on shipping costs...

thanks guys, Im gonna try and work with this one and see what I can do, I may investigate the vdd mod a lil more and see, but I'll probably loose patience and buy a new board.


thanks for the advise
