OC'ing Athlon XP1600 AGOIA on an Epox 8RDA+ with DDR-PC2100 RAM- Proper Advanced Chipset Features setting??

[John P]

Too many settings are confusing me. Anyone with a similar setup want to share your settings with me? I basically need to "lock" my AGP/PCI and RAM settings while upping the FSB, but I can't seem to get it to work. TIA.

Bump.

I thought you could lock the RAM clock on this board, it does not seem to work. I get a long beep and then an alarm goes off. Is my only choice to buy faster RAM? Dang, I had better luck overclocking this chip on my Abit KG-7......

From what i understand, people say that the 8rda+ locks the pci frequency... the agp frequency you can adjust yourself... i set it to 66 mhz...

yes, all those advanced chipset features can get confusing...

Hmm...been thinking of doing the same to mu system with EXACTLY same Processor/MoBo. Any place I could find more info?

Thnx

My problem was solved by updating the BIOS to the latest version. My current settings for my Athlon XP 1600 and PC2100 RAM:

157FSB for CPU
123 for RAM - If I set it to 128 the system won't start - starts beeping like crazy.
CPU - set to optimal
RAM - set to aggressive
2.00v for CPU
Everything else at default levels.

Do you mean for the KG7? Just start cranking the FSB up a little at a time and maybe up the voltage a tad - remember on this board you are also overclocking the PCI slots and memory since they do not have seperate settings like the 8RDA+ does.

Yes, it was for the KG7. And thnx


Now I have something to do over the weekend
