A7N8X and a 2700+

I have this running fine at 166*13.5= 2250 (2800+) and chip temp 49C whilst
doing some major number crunching..

However, I have made 200*11.5= 2300 which worked fine until I tried to push
it to 200*12 and now I can't seem to work out how it kicked in the first
time as I never made this again!

My question is this, shouldn't this mobo work better on 200 rather than the
166? I was expecting this to be the case.

btw. I only have one stick of memory, could this the problem?

Also...in PC Probe (supporting MB software) it reads the chip's max speed as
3000MHz, I guess I would never keep it cool enough at that rate but as I'm
only running at 49C at the moment I feel another few MHz would be nice IF it
were stable enough.

Any idea's?

I have heard of people having to run a board in over a couple of weeks
to get 200. not all n-force 2 boards will do 200 Mhz though i have a had
3 that do Currently running XP2100 (133*13) @ (11*200) Rock solid stable

it will do (11*210) but can get a little flaky.

 

it will also do 12.5 X 215 = 2687.5

It's just a feeling I get sometimes
A feeling sometimes
And I get frightened
Just like you I get frightened too
But it's No time for heartache
No time to run and hide
No time for breaking down
No time to cry

 

Nice one John!!!

How do I do match that then?

......... I have this running fine at 166*13.5= 2250 (2800+) and chip
temp 49C

My Vcore setting is as the M'board factory setting (1.68).

Can I up the voltage via the bios?

Is this how u do that?
