Thanks for the clarification. I was unaware that there where different multipliers...
Anyways, would it be unwise to run my mobo at 160? The specs say that it should run at 400/533... Will I run into heat issues \ hardware damage if I run it at 160?

Right, I understand that I'm not overclocking my CPU... but am I overclocking my FSB? The FSB was only rated at 400/533 for the mobo I have. Is it safe to run it higher than speeds they put in the specs? That's the part I'm questioning.
Thanks again.
This is what Asus "claims" on the product page for the P4S8X-X, however on my similar P4S800 motherboard which Asus also "claims" the fixed AGP/PCI frequency... nope. I couldn't find any setting in my BIOS, plus seemed to have instabilities running in-between speeds. Unless that's all just my imagination. Possible...AGP/PCI Asynchronous Mode with FSB (fixed AGP/PCI frequencies)

Change the CPU External Frequency to 200 mhz. Like eveyrbody said it looks like it's running on a 100 mhz fsb...and if it's a 2.4C (800 fsb) it would be 12 x 100 = 1200 mhz....which is exactly what your problem is.![]()
Ok, I just looked at my BIOS again... CPU External Frequency is setup really WIERD. It doesn't give me the option to select 100, 133, 166, 200, etc. Instead, it has 100-160mhz... Ya know, 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106, 107, etc. etc.
Retarded. Whomever design this BIOS where morons.
I guess I should try 160? That's the highest setting available.
(and yes, its 800fsb... or so they proclaim on all of their sh!t advertising.)
