ASUS A7N8X-2.0-Deluxe\ XP3200\ corsair TwinX3200CPT

I'm trying to get the best settings for my ram and cpu, I run 98se.

I tried:

FSB 210mhz

RAM 175mhz (DDR350)

CAS 2-2-2-5

CPU 2315mhz

RAM Bandwidth 1391MB\s

and I tried:

RAM 167mhz (DDR334)

CAS 2-2-2-5

RAM Bandwidth 1324MB\s

Right now I'm back on:

FSB 200mhz

CAS 2-3-3-6 DDR400

CPU 2200mhz

Ram Bandwidth 1495MB\s

I cant really get much more bandwidth than that, all test ran Memtest86 sucsessfully 7 pass's

Anyone have some tried and true settings for this setup?

Also is there any "secret" tricks in the bios, or advanced settings that I need to "unlock"?

Thanks

well first off read this

what you want to do is to test ur cpu, put the ram on a huge divider. then go ahead and up the mhz/vcore on ur cpu.

.........anyways, someone with first-hand knowledge on the board would be greatly appreciated........thanks

Don't the ram and the cpu FSBs have to match for best performance? Otherwise the slowest FSB slows down both.

Right?

the odds of someone having this board and overclocking with it and on this forum is pretty low.

i would suggest using everrest to benchmark your memory and just use whatever setting yeilds the best results.

yes that is correct, and that is also in the guide.
