My machine runs very happily at 200x11. I want to try and up the fsb. I'm going to drop the multi down to 10 or 9 and then raise the fsb slowly. What I'm more concerned? with is my ram. Once I start upping the fsb my ram will also start to be OC'ed?(pc3200) I want to know which component(ram or cpu) will complain first? If I run memtest does it test the ram at the bios settings or the stock ram settings? i.e If I set the fsb to 204 would the ram be tested at 408mhz?

Your PC3200 should handle at least 210mhz. Your best bet would be to temporarily set your multiplier fairly low (say 8x), so that when you raise the FSB, you're not overstressing the CPU. Then raise the FSB slowly & test between changes...this way you can determine your max stable FSB setting. Your RAM may benefit from a 0.1v increase...if the default is 2.6v, raise it to 2.7v. Once you've deteremined the max FSB, then you can experiment with the multiplier

Cheers Jam My pc3200 is Twinmos with hynix chips(I think) Do I test with memtest? Tt Lanfire nf7-s v2.0 XP-m 2500@200x11 SP 97 1GB pc3200 Jou Jye 550w psu FX5600 WDCaviar 60gb Seagate Barracuda 80gb ;~}

I'd use Prime95 for at least a single pass...once you've decided on your "final" settings, let it run for a while. There are plenty of free test programs available here: http://www.benchmarkhq.ru/english.html?/be_cpu.html

Prime ran for 7hrs with no problems or errors with FSB-210 Multi-8 The boot screen say's it is 418mhz cpu-z says it is 210.5mhz @ 421mhz Tried a few cpu programs and they all differ slightly.

214x8 Primed for 7hrs Now to up the multi Actually I'm using a multi of 9 right now but have not Primed it. Vcore is at 1.55v at the moment. Cover me I'm going in for more Tt Lanfire nf7-s v2.0 XP-m 2500@200x11 SP 97 1GB pc3200 Jou Jye 550w psu FX5600 WDCaviar 60gb Seagate Barracuda 80gb ;~}

Didn't like a multi of 10 Raised vcore to 1.775,prime locks the system. I tried 218x8,prime failed but gave errors the system still ran though. So I thought I was near the limit and went back to 214. How high a vcore can the mobile stand? I've read somewhere that there has been problems with the 10 & 10.5 multi's? Also that I may need a modded bios? tictac turbo4x4? Any links to these modded bios's? Tt Lanfire nf7-s v2.0 XP-m 2500@200x11 SP 97 1GB pc3200 Jou Jye 550w psu FX5600 WDCaviar 60gb Seagate Barracuda 80gb ;~}
