Here's my setup:
3000+ Venice
1GB Corsair VS
Asus A8N-E, rev. 2.00, bios 1005/modded with NB47J
eVGA 7800GT
Seasonic S12-430HB
Thermalright XP-90
I have been following Zebo's A64 guide with little success. I set my RAM to 100MHz (200MHz ddr of course) and SPD timings, HTT multi at 3, CPU multi at 7 (tried 6 too), and set out to find the top HTT frequency. I went up by 5MHz increments, but when I hit 225, windows wouldn't boot. Both PCI(33.33) and PCI-e(100.00) are locked, i'm using SATA port 3, so they shouldn't be making an issue. I am wondering if my northbridge isn't doing too well because of the lack of active cooling, but the NB47J is much larger than any of the stock passive NF4 heatsinks. I have noticed the dearth of overclocking options in the Asus bios when compared to my friend's Ultra-D. I would very much appreciate if someone with more experience with this mobo could help me. Thanks.
