Hi All:
After reading several VERY GOOD posts (jsethi, Joker to name a few) on this board and agonizing over Epox 4G4A+, I pulled the trigger on P4B533-V. Here is what I have my for my system:
MB: ASUS P4B533-V
MEM: Corsair 512MB PC3200 XMS
CPU: 1.6A NW
CASE: Kingwin Aluminium Sliver
PWR: Antec TRU 550W
RAID: Highpoint 404
HDD: WD 120JB SE X 4 (Raid 0+1)
MODEM: USR Performance Pro
VIDEO: NONE (Planning to use integrated video and upgrade to ATI 8500DV 128MB when prices come down (when?)
SOUND: Built in MB
NIC: Built in MB
All parts are in but I am not (out of town). Will be building this weekend. I want to overclock to 160FSB, DDR400 (4:5 divider). This is where I need help from you experts:
1. What should be my initial power up settings, jumperless (is this the default?) or set the FSB manually?
2. What are the optimum VCore and vmem settings for this FSB?
3. CAS settings?
4. This is my first time overclocking. Should I burn in at default speed for 24 hours before attempting to overclock?
5. I keep reading about the 3:4 trick on ASUS boards but I don't know how to do this or can this be done on this MB.
6. Downloaded Prime 95, PCMark 2002 and 3DMark SE (scores will suck I know due to integrated video). Is this enough to stress the system to test stability?
WISH ME LUCK
