That's a week 21, should do 11x200 if you have the right ram and mobo. May take 1.7v, but I'd try default voltage first.

yeah if I had to guess on that core I would guess it would do 2ghz to 2.3ghz on default voltage
prob won't max out much higher than 2.2 on any voltage

my week 29 2500+ seems to max out at about 2ghz even with voltages up to 1.825
which kinda suprises me

i've gotten it to boot once at like 2.33 but it wasn't stable

I cannot change the fsb on my mobo as it becomes very unstable what is sort of multiplier can I expect to hit on 166 fsb at stock or 1.7v ?

at 333 fsb you're looking at a x of 13.5 as a max for multi. Maybe able to get 14 if you're lucky ^^ My 2500 is 13.5 x 166 = 2.25 and it's very fast. My whole problem is my 2100

It's your RAM that becomes unstable... not the motherboard. Change the RAM to 83%... reboot... change the vcore to 1.75... reboot... change the FSB to 200... reboot. Check for stability, if it runs fine, reduce the voltage one incriment at a time until it becomes unstable.

And... he will not be able to use a multiplier for 13.5 because multipliers above 12.5 are NOT unlocked on the A7N8X.

are you sure about that Jeff? Unless what you are talking about depends on the cpu, I have a 2700+ and the A7N8X dlx mobo and default mult I believe is 13 or 13.5 and I have it running 166 x 14.5 right now. My machine was extremely unstable @ 15 but I'm unwilling to up the voltage at this time so I believe it's due to that.
