Overclocking question
02.05.06 at 16:55:23  
How is it possible to reach FSB speeds of 195Mhz on 8k5a2 mobos? I have seen that TM30 used speeds like this in his world record breaking configurations. If I reach 180, my file system kind of gets busted.

hmm TM30 does have an EPoX EP-8K5A2+ if I can remember Smiley so does Osckhar they both can easily do 195 Mhz FSB speeds.

TM30 has a plain 8k5a2, but i don't think that the extra raid controller would help. Anyway, still curious...

@mikulaish,
Have you tried with the V5 5500 or v6k? With the v6k is imposible to reach 190FSB...

No worries. I'm trying with my V3 3000 AGP(the one that is still waiting for an original no TV-out bios from you  Tongue). Still how do you do it? ???

So what is the key to reach FSB 190?  ??? As far as i know the pci clock is too high for the IDE controller at FSB 190.

maybe your RAM timings are too tight

Thanks for the answers. So the PCI frequency close to 40Mhz is not the problem, right?

depends on PCI components you are using... a cheap realtek network adapter can make problems for example.

i use a intel 100pro network adapter and have no problems with high pci clock.

but also try to release the timings of your ram in the bios... or buy better RAM Wink

yeah but maybe the RAM Timings are set too tight...

e.g.: CAS Latency set at 2 but the RAM only runs at 3...

I made it now. It was the Realtek card at fault. The ram is CL 2.5 at 400Mhz. The tRas should be 7 at 400Mhz, but it can only be set to 6 and 5. This might be limiting ,but i don't know. I'm waiting for my Barton-M 2600 and than i'll test further.
