OT (sort of) ASUS A7N8X DELUXE refurbs @ Newegg

[Wiz]

I just bought one for $79.00 shipped

(link deleted - no longer available )

Get 'em while they are HOT!!!

(Normal price is about $150)

These make really great DC crunchers - overclock like a dream.

Ask Assimilator1 about his.

That didn't last long - OOS now!

assimilator1 - you seem to be the man to ask how to overclock one of these boards.
the most ive been able to do is 160mhz fsb 14 multiplier - i'd like to do more.
i think i have all of the right components now i just need a clue.
thanks,
joe

I assume you've hit the cpu's limit at 2.2+GHz?
What vcore are you at?

Next step is to maintain your current cpu MHz but with a higher FSB.Seeing as you have DDR400 you should be able to hit & maybe exceed 200MHz
If you cant select any multiplier lower than x14 you'll need to release the lower multipliers by joing up 1 of the end L3 bridges....atm I can't remember which one ,but if you need to know I'll see if I can dig it up

Anyway ,ramping upto 200MHz FSB will certainly cut your WU times
