Introduction: general description to the system

[Home]

Hallo, below you find my PC system configuration on the basis of a nForce2 Ultra400 platform,
with the Mainboard EPoX 8RDA3+ and an AMD processor XP-M 2600+ mainstream.
The system is topically synchronous overclocked. FSB 212, system bus 424, processor CPU clock 2333 MHz.
Thas's proximate eherconservative overclocking, for the everyday use.
However, completely OK, and to me it suffices in such a way.

The highes overclocking results I tested by: FSB x Multi 11 and vcore 1.725 volts, vdd 2.0 volts,
FSB 228 with the Corsair CMX 3200LL and memory lantency timings 2-3-3-7-1T at 2.9 vdimm, CPU clock 2508 MHz
FSB 232 with menory lantency timings 2,5-4-4-7-1T , 2.9 vdimm, 1.75 vcore, CPU clock 2552 MHz.
Memtest and Super PI checked.
* Many Thanks to Merlin for the otmized FSB 200 register Bios *
