What's your sweet FSB for the 8KHA+?

[Deanodarlo]

Although I can run my 8KHA+ at 166 and even higher, I have soft reboot problems at this speed - I need to hit the reset button to kick the system back to life. Power on and off and stability however, are 100% ok. I have had one or two rare but strange instances while running this high however.

Since this reboot issue kicks in around 151-5 FSB onwards, I've decided that the sweet spot for this board is the 150 mark for my set-up (I also like rounded numbers )

It runs flawlessly at this speed, and although I crank it up to 166 for video encoding and other CPU intensive tasks, 150 is the FSB I put forward as the perfect running speed for the best ratio of performance/stability and problem free operation of the 8KHA+.

What's the overall best FSB you've found?

In other words, what?s your sweet spot for this board?

I am running it at 150FBS now too. I think my SB Live or NIC (probably the SB Live) doesnt like to be run that high. I had a soft semi reboot doing a Sandra memory bench this am. I also get the soft boot issue at 150. My sweetspot is probably like 145 give or take 1-2 with the cards. without the SB live I had no issues whatsoever with the 150.
This board kicks ass. Getting over 8000 3dmarks with my new visiontek G3Ti200 oce'd to 210/450.

i have to manually reboot mine at 150fsb or higher, so i am running mine at 145. shows XP 1800+ at boot. very happy with stability of this board (ie. no problems whatsoever even when running the fsb past 150, besides the soft boot issue, which is really not a big deal to me). can't say enough about this board, though!!!

150 MHz is the highest I've tried actually using the computer. 155 seems possible too, but at 160 it wouldn't even post (had to clear CMOS with jumper). Currently running at 133 MHz, though, since I just unlocked my 1400 MHz XP and am trying to check if it's stable at 1600 MHz. Don't want the FSB to corrupt the test.

So far Im not liking this board switched it with my KT7A and this Epox board seems real unstable. I cant even run at 150FSB??

I just got and installed mine right now but im not gonna overclock it till I get my watercooling which will be at Christmas

I get that reboot trouble anything higher than 140FSB? I have that N+ bios is there a fix for this?? the bios my board came with is 10/17/01
